Wow, how privileged to be able to interview one of the Johns. I'd have a hard time not asking "Okay, what the heck were you talking in this song, this song, this other song, this entire album . . . "

This is a sweet interview. It's rare to see Linnell on his own and he seems very relaxed and up for chat.

Thanks for this interview! Flansy tends to do most of the talking, so it's nice to hear from Linnell.

I really enjoy watching the John's more recent interviews. They've written a lot of my favorite music and their most recent records are excellent. I'm surprised at how consistent their output is.
@Paul-dw2cl Жыл бұрын
and this was 8 years ago. they were making great music back then, and all through the past 8 years, which makes their consistent output even more impressive

I think you did a good job - he seemed very relaxed, and it came across as a pleasant chat rather than a full-on interview. A lot of interviewers like the sound of their own voice, but you let him speak, and asked him some good questions.

I think you did a great job, you can't listen to jealous people on youtube. It's really hard putting yourself out there like this, it was a really brave thing for you to do. There's always a first interview, and I think you did a great job being calm in an interview with someone who is very low key. Plus your glasses matched, which I think is important in any interview.

Such a fascinating man! And a lovely interview! I phoned Dial A Song as teenager in the early 90s from New Zealand and my folks were not happy. Thank you for all the amazing music, John and John.

This is incredible! I think you did fine. But even if the interview didn't go the way you wanted, you should pat yourself on the back for getting the infamously elusive John to sit down with you :)

I'm feeling really green watching that girl sitting on the couch next to Linnell. She looks like she wants to prod him on the arm to make sure he is really there (that's what I would be doing).

You can see at 13:59 that John isn't necessarily comfortable being interviewed by someone that actually didn't understand why there would be three pages of an Asian last name in the Manhattan phone book.
