Yeah, I mean, that was my intention though, that's my sense of humor, there are like 10 serious interviews with him already out on the interwebs if you want serious rock star insights, but why do something that's already been done? It's kind of like a running joke/theme of our site, I interview all these people and ask questions they don't normally get asked from typical indie interviewers, some of them "get it" and go with it, while others, not so much, either way, I find it more interesting (personally) than a 10 page Pitchfork interview. Like here is another "sluffing off" one that a lot of people seemed to love:
http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/interviews/byt-interview-the-raveonettes/ I guess it's the same idea as The Office, painful = funny? Except that I am way way way way way less talented than Ricky Gervais. Actually just pretend I never even made that analogy.
Anyway, sorry you didn't like it.

it being painful to read isn't a compliment. i'm sorry. you yourself even admitted it was awkward. it didn't even read like he was taking the questions you answered him seriously and he was just sluffing you off - so why bother even posting it?
and yes, you can tell the difference between the interviews the managers make them do and the ones thy do on their own - but just because you ask 'different' questions does not a good interview make. i read the boy least likely
to interview too and it's an obvious difference in the person you're interviewing.

I'm going to take that as a compliment, I try to make my interviews a little different from the typical indie rock star interviews. I also just did one with The Boy Least Likely To who was seriously the cutest sweetest guy ever. He was like "is that ok?" after everything.

you can always tell the difference between an interview that the person wants to do and one that their manager tells them to do. [/b]
