Interview where JD plays DJ

That was interesting, but it's weird getting used to reading instant message interviews. And how the first chunk of the interview was just talking about the medium/trying to make it work.

STEREOGUM: There’s an album coming out of people covering your songs. How does that feel?

What is this? Is this us? That's the only one I can think of, but I also don't think we're legit enough to be this

this interview was kinda weird but i am a fan of the informalness i suppose if it lends itself to jd saying more stuff like that mitt romney tangent

i enjoyed that, and hearing this:

JOHN DARNIELLE: Can we go long or are you busy? This is fun.

as an interviewer, must be the best feeling.

Ah, this is it. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Ya know, I think this was a really neat idea for an interview. I hadn't heard of the whole turntable thing before. I'll have to check it out! (I'll also have to find someone to exchange songs with! hahaha)

I do think it might have had a bit more potential for being really great, though. The interviewer might have contributed more about her own selections (like JD requested) which in turn may have made the conversation between them a little more interesting and natural. I think if it was a more normal coversation (as opposed to an interview-type q & a) there would have been the possibility for some really interesting thoughts to surface with an exchange of ideas on their music selections. Instead, the interviewer seemed to want to stick to simply asking JD questions, which made the scenario in which the interview held seem like a moot point.

(Not to mention her repeated choice to inquire about 'genre' after JD seemed to point out that he's not really a fan of that concept.)

Had there been more of an exchange between them in regard to the music they were both listening to, it may have put a little more meat-on-the-bone, so to speak, and they may have been able to afford to edit out the whole this-is-how-you-work-turntable part in the beginning.

Anyway, just my opinion. But what do I know?

Hahahahaha, once again TT.fm sucks someone in. So much fun, if I wasn't in a different time zone from most of the users it'd be dangerous.

Oh my god Christine Fellows. I have chills just thinking about that song.
