David Lanfair chords by 
Love And Rockets
N/A•
Verse 1
Eb
G
D
I love the beginning of that song.
F
Hi, my name is
Dave
D
G
D
Lanfair an d currently
I'm a junior studying
G
at
Kutztown
D
University, fine arts major,
and somehow I got this crazy idea that I would make
this tape, okay, and interview a band that has
such a profound impact on me, and yet
I know little or nothing about them,
namely
Lovin'
A
D
G
Rockets, and I would
A
G
greatly appreci ate
D
if this tape would be sent,
G
Dm
A
D
A
D
passed on to the members of the band.
You know, I feel really
G
A
D
stupid doing this, embarrassed as a matter of fact,
because, you know, I'm trying to
G
interview you, having a one -way conversation,
C
Bm
asking questions. I mean, it's really weird,
it's really embarrassing,
G
C
Bm
B
Bm
but I'll try to do my best. I don't even know where to begin,
G
C
I don't know what questions to ask,
Bm
G
C
but perhaps the first question that came to my mind before
D
I sat down and said, yes, I'm going to write,
E
I'm going to make this tape, I'm going
Esus4
send it to
Love &
E
Esus4
E
Lockets, and hopefully they'll send
D
me a tape back and I'll have an interview.
G
The first question that came to my mind,
D
I was talking with my roommate, and we were like, why?
G
D
Why? I know that's ambiguous,
Dm
D
so I'll try to
G
D
narrow these questions down.
Dm
D
The first question, real question that comes to my mind is,
G
F
when did you form
Bauhaus?
Esus4
E
Who formed it, and
why?
Em
F
Were you guys all friends at one time,
E
Esus4
E
Esus4
G
and you got to gether, and
F
you formed the band,
Esus4
E
Esus4
E
Esus4
F
or
G
Do you have any musical influences or does
A
any particular group or groups, did they help
G
to form your style?
D
G
Who writes most of the lyrics and how?
D
Is it a stream of consciousness?
G
D
Do get these ideas from reading books?
Do they come in dreams or
G
D
what people say?
You can elaborate on this if you want to.
G
Bb
You know, I don't think, when I listen to your songs,
A
I don't think that you write about
Bb
A
typical everyday things, because your songs,
C
Bb
A
the lyrics, make me think at least.
Bb
I mean, is this what you're
C
striving for in your lyrics?
Not to write about the mundane,
D
but to write about something else.
I
Bela
Lugosi's death, for example.
Where did that come from?
G
D
I mean, that's bizarre, but I love it.
Love you guys.
G
And what, I've always wondered,
D
what do you say at the
beginning of that song?
Dm
G
D
You know, it's like, boy, boy, boy.
Sorry.
My friends say it's like white on white
G
C
trans music, black kids, but, you know,
B
if you want to tell me,
C
Bm
I'd really like to know.
G
C
B
Um, I get a sense, I get a sense from the music that,
C
D
E
number one, you're intellectual.
You're not dumb, you're pretty smart.
D
G
And number two, that in some way it
seems like you're spiritual.
D
You've gone about it wrong, and assuming that,
G
is that something you want to portray,
D
or something that you've never
G
even thought about.
D
How did you come up with the name
Bauhaus?
I mean, were you heavily in
G
F
fluenced by other disciplines
such as art and theater?
Because I know that
E
Bauhaus was a
F
E
German impressionistic
G
or expressionistic, I which,
F
impressionistic movement.
E
F
was one of these things.
And another name like
G
Dolly's
Car, for example,
A
That brings to mind
Salvador
Dali and
Surrealism and where you guys
are influenced by that.
D
I think I've noticed,
G
I've seen a few of
D
Dm
D
G
Dalhousie's videos and I've noticed
Dm
a strong sense of theater on stage.
G
Now where did that come
Dm
D
Dm
D
Dm
from?
D
Dm
D
What about projects and
G
groups in between
Bauhaus and
Bb
Love &
Rockets like
Tones on
Tail and
A
Dolly's
Bb
Car, for example?
How did those groups
A
C
Bb
form and why?
Have you done any soundtracks
A
or anything from movies?
Bb
C
And an other question I'd like to ask is,
who directed those early
D
Dm
D
Bauhaus videos, and who
directs the videos now from
Love &
Dm
G
Rockets?
Dm
D
Where does everyone live?
Dm
G
Are you
Dm
American?
D
Are you
Dm
G
German?
D
A big question that comes to mind is,
G
why did you break with
C
Peter
Murphy?
Bm
and do you think there's any chance in
C
the future for you to work again with
Bm
D
C
Hickory? I'm sorry,
all these questions have been about
Bm
Bauhaus. I know you have
Love &
C
Rockets now,
so I asked you a question about
Love &
D
Rockets.
What does
Love &
G
Em
Esus4
Rockets want to do musically now? I mean,
what direction do you see
D
Dm
yourselves going in? I've also no
D
G
D
Dm
ticed on the inside of the cover of
G
Express,
Dm
G
Dm
D
the team, that there was artwork,
G
D
and was that artwork the band's original artwork?
G
And if so, do you guys have shows?
F
Esus4
E
Em
F
And if not, why not?
Is
Loving
Em
E
G
Rockets currently touring anywhere?
F
How about you guys from the
Em
E
Kutztown, because we can
Em
F
really use good music.
G
Just kidding. I'm not really kidding.
A
It would be great if you guys
could come to
Cookstown.
Fantastic.
Think about it.
How would you describe
D
Bauhaus's sound an d how
would you describe
G
D
A
D
Lovelock's sound?
And my final question is,
G
D
G
D
is there anyone married in the band and or girlfriends?
Feel free to answer that question if you want to,
G
all right?
D
And feel free to add anything else that you
G
D
A
D
would like to add to anything.
G
D
And I'd like to thank you a lot for
G
D
granting me this interview.
Bye.
C
G
D
Best of luck.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
