Short pfork interview. Probably the most recent video interview.

Huge list, been a while since we had a list that extended over 10 tracks in here, took me two days to listen to them in the proper setting. I really like how you combined postpunk and folk in here, squashed. At first I thought it wouldn’t work but after listening to the whole playlist in one sitting it made sense. I ended up erasing the 3 song stretch from Neutral Milk Hotel to Shellac because I found it too rough and cacophonic in that precise order, tho, and I preferred the switch from Grizzly Bear to Battles. It sounded perfect for me without them :P

Thanks for the shout out.

Here’s a line from a review of new SY in Dusted that seem to me to encapsulate the silliness of the whole debate:

“Perhaps The Eternal doesn’t help matters by being, ultimately, another excellent Sonic Youth album.”

And thanks as always for all the music.
