NPR gets awkward with Sigur Ros
October 14th, 2007 . by Jilly
Sigur Ros were interviewed on NPR’s Bryant Park Project last week, in what just might be the most hilariously awkward, cringe-inducing interview ever. One bad question after another.
“Did you start off with more traditional lyrics and work towards the gibberish?”
Here’s the interview. I’m surprised the interviewer didn’t get punched in the face.
to be fair to the interviewer they did say the word gibberish first.
i love the way he answered each one of his questions immediately after asking. maybe they would of been more enthusiastic about answering if he didn’t already know everything.
all in all this was amazing!! i love it when bands humanize themselves this way. people expect fire and lightning to explode from their mouths with each sentence, why? they make brilliant music, why can’t that be enough?
this is really bad. ‘cringe’ is the right word for it, I think. I don’t really like the bryant park project very much. the whole show makes me cringe.
luke burbank is a dipstick!
actually, rephrase- luke burbank is a knob once known as a dipstick- who recently graduated from dipstickness.
jill, i have nothing constructive to say here… how can i be constructive or critical at that, when criticism is meant to be reasoned judgment on something supposedly suitable for fulfilling its purpose.There was nothing fulfilling here, no purpose, so i guess no constructive criticism is even deserved. how do people like that get jobs anyway?
