This interview with Godspeed You! Black Emperor blows my mind. Â The whole thing reads like a manifesto, or song lyrics. Â The link calls it a “transcript” but I cannot fathom someone actually answering questions like that. Â Perhaps they were prepared with pre-written answers, or maybe I don’t know how interviews actually work. Â I kept thinking, “hey I should copy that line and quote it,” but then I realized I was going to quote every other line or so.
I never much cared for Yanqui U.X.O. but this new album is very good. Â You can stream the whole thing online. Â I’m glad I went to see GY!BE in Chicago back when I did – the poster is on the wall above me right now.
