take that to the chip-shop, why don't you?

so. it's been awhile since my last update.
i know. i'm sorry. but, if it means anything, i've been really busy.

really.



i hide behind my notes.

11/06/08
that's me. and that's my notebook.
and that means that i had research for an interview in that notebook.

yesterday, i had an interview with shawn harris from a band called the matches.
this was the first time that i got all my research done in a quick manner. it usually takes me a few well planned days to get everything i need to feel comfortable with my material.

not trying to sound conceited at all,



but i was not that invested into this interview as i had been in my prior ones.
let me explain:

with my two prior interviews, i was a die-hard fan before i interviewed them.
with this one, i found them in order to have an interview to post. which isn't bad, because i appreciated their music and found myself liking it more after i conducted the interview.

that. is a good thing.

the interview was very chilled. it was very comfortable, and i think that it went fairly well because i was not so critical about the questions i was proposing as i had been with prior interviews.



this is a video that the lead singer directed. it got a lot of praise from rollingstone, alternative press, and spin.

what i found out in my research is that he does a lot of video arts within his graphics company, which is called oxen.

which is pretty admirable, if you ask me.
go ahead...ask me.



this is their latest video.
it's really good. not to mention that their music is really fun.

and, if you're like me, and were not 100% sure what the hell a "chip-shop" is, it's a place to go get french fries when you're drunk. mcdonald's apparently kills that for us here in the states, but in places like london, they have them placed around the town. just a big, steamy, greasy, pile of fries...



until next time
