Here is a more straight forward interview with Death Cab For Cutie. David from Hobnox does an excellent job at drawing some personality out of the boys.
And he manges to get them to free style a lymric with “Death Cab For Cutie ” in it AND ask the pre-requiste questions ” Do you believe in Aliens? and When is the next Postal Service Record coming”

We and here at DYHT are more interested in the aliens answer.

Surprisingly you will get used to the huge advertisment that play in background

Kind of… In an earlier santi post we wondered out loud why LES/Brooklyn hipster poster girl would work with Ashlee Simpson. All do respect to both parties but how the f**k did that happen?

The thing is…In this 20 minute interview, it does not sound like he is completely convinced by his own words. ( should we be?) Idolator has broke down the highlights but an example of Mr. Iovine’s uncertainty is:
On staying current with his label’s priorities
“Four million people watched Soulja Boy.” (NB: The official “Crank That” video currently has 32 million-plus views.)
you would think that if that Soulja Boy is one of IGA’s larger offerings he would at least brag about the 32MM views.

On who should take the blame when an album flops
“The hardest thing for any artist to do is look in the mirror and say [the reason for the album flopping] was me…. Everybody wants to be Shaggy and say, ‘It wasn’t me.’ …. ‘My album was great, it wasn’t me, it was that building.’”

” It wasn’t me?” ” The Music is Stupid…?” Simple thought would be for the label to sign talent and nurture talent from the ground up and not just chase the next big thing.

Who is the next music industry big wig to speak out to appease stockholders with a ” everything is under control” interview?
