Can you imagine being interviewed by that guy though?
Like, after working your ass off all night, playing shows... I mean, I'm not saying they were cool with him (Thurston and Lee made particular asses of themselves, I'm sorry to say), but I kinda get it.
I had some friends that reminded me of Nardwuar when I was living in the Northwest. That shit gets fucking old. There are people who really do that kind of challenging, aren't-you-cool, scenster Jeopary! shit ... just constantly name-dropping counterculture shit, trying to prove something about themselves or whoever they're talking to. It's a bit infuriating.
Also, the tour with Neil was a crappy one for SY. But yes, Thurston and Lee were embarrassing. I think you just have to roll with it and be willing to laugh at yourself, without cracking, or becoming the butt of a joke, and that's hard for a lot of people to do, especially when they're on camera. But... yeah, kind of sad and embarrassing.
Doesn't change how I feel about SY though. How I feel about SY has almost nothing to do with the people... everything to do with the sounds they made together.
