was it me, or did the interviewer sense sean was getting pissed off and kept asking rob to answer the questions instead?
"rob, what do you think of..."
i dunno, maybe i'm imagining it, but props to them for enduring 15 minutes of journalist hell.

And what does 'obscure but influential' mean, anyways? I get the idea, but I still don't like it.

this is so bad, worth mentioning twice. what a stupid bitch, how in the hell could they be paired up with someone like that for an audio interview. dumbest questions ive ever heard given to an artist. she doesnt know a fucking thing about electronica, just the typecast shit, like drugs at parties, and ohhh how do they make all the instruments play at once, and everyone does crazy drugs at electronica shows. you can tell this bitch probably listens to U2 and dixie chicks, throwing politics in the fucking mix. I lol'd when Rob (or was it Sean) just said "no" to a question. It was a stupid question.

man, you guys...doing interviews is a bit more difficult to what it seems..obviously there are people who can do it better, but generally it's just not as easy as it may seem. but yeah, questions about music itself are sort of unnecessary as you can hear it (except when you talk to people who're in it from the sound part, which could apply to ae as well i guess, though there's other stuff more interesting), why explain it? though on the other hand some people, specially with ae, are interested in that sort of thing..but yeah, show some compassion for the interviewers : )

No. If you are going to interview someone, then do some fucking research first. I realise not everyone is expected to know their subject 100%, but a good journalist will know which questions not to ask, simply because they'll probably be the first things which come to mind and no doubt have been asked loads of times before. After 15 or so years of being in the industry, I bet they're sick to death of naming influences or talking about how they get ideas for music.

well guess what..i've been listening to their music for a long time but i still asked those questions : ) the thing is these interviews aren't only for the hardcore fans like yourself, but for a wider audience that don't know them all that well.

Fair enough, thats where a good introduction helps. Give the audience some idea of who they're listening to in case they don't know, then start the interview proper. I guess my main gripe is she showed absolutely zero passion for the full 15 minutes. It was as if she had been asked to do an interview on the spot without any idea who she was actually talking to. The best questions are always asked when theres a synergy between the interviewer and the interviewed. Oh well, not worth losing any sleep over, but I can imagine the boys walking out of the studio afterwards and saying "not again..."

well yeah, i agree with what you're saying, but i'd just like to say it's not always easy to do interviews. a few weeks ago i was interviewing dj krush and it was quite obvious he was/is tired of giving interviews, so nothing can help you to do those things right. autechre gave plenty of interviews in the past couple of months and it wouldn't be surprising if they'd be fed up with it. though it doesn't seem that to be the case in this interview..and when you say this interviewer seems as she was asked to do this on a spot..what if that really was the case? it's ofcourse silly to do that sort of thing once you get musicians like ae, but i guess it may happen..people must start somewhere..

I found that a pretty inspiring interview. She wasn't quite as bad as I was expecting. I think she's just new to that music...

wow, I can actually relate to the guys, it's nothing particularly shocking to me since many Nordic countries are like that, and with or without a goods set of questions there's always that element of reserve to be expected.

caught the last 5 minutes this morning, thought i was still half asleep. i can't think of any other musicians being given a 15-minute interview on the today programme, never mind ae - i mean, it's a news show innit? not even as if you get much about electronic music on the rest of radio 4...
given their demographic i didn't think it was that bad an interview anyway, just a sort of bog-standard introduction thing. very weird slot for it though
