Bradford Cox is so important. A true icon and a complete sweetheart, my biggest musical hero.

This could practically be a scene from Waking Life.

Whether it's an interview or not, it's sure as shit more insightful hearing him say what's on his mind other than hearing the answers from the ridiculous questions this interviewer may or may not have asked him. So brilliant. Protect this man at all costs!

that interviewer is sooo chill.

Great artist Great band. The world needs more humans like this.

He's important. Truly. Deeply. Passionately important.

An artist. And, besides that, the music is original and GREAT!

Wonderful interview. I never heard an interview with him before, he is a very interesting fellow.

“Everyone in LA and NYC are just playing dress up” -guy in Indiana Jones cosplay

just listened to his band for the first time and there's some mind blowingly good material, somehow I wasn't expecting this kind of interview out of him. Interesting character though

I love how he said the Fuck like 3 times in the interview and then in the last quarter spelt out S-H-I-T like it was Taboo.

man I love Bradford, I love Deerhunter. Just barely get him started and he goes off hahah, lots of ideas in that noggin.

Bradford basically interviews himself. Just press "Play". :)

We need more people like him in the world.

weird, but one of the few genuinely interesting people I've heard recently

Can't wait for the new 2019 album! I recently heard an interview on Public Radio, and found Bradford Cox so compelling that I had to listen to his music. He's an original artist that deserves a huge following. The music is iconic, it draws you in. It's worth knowing his backstory. His ideas are brilliant and the music stands for itself.

Last night I was watching an interview the filmmaker Terry Gilliam did recently, and he spoke about the same thing in regards to current culture and there being too many distractions. I'm glad that some artists are discussing this and I think it's a step forward that more creative people are becoming more conscious of what they listen to/watch or how much they consume certain media and the effects this may have on their work and/or ability to create original work. At the end of Fellini's 8 1/2 there's a monologue said by a character that is so relevant to today, I really recommend watching or just looking that part up online. It's funny that Bradford mentions a "void" because there's a line about that in there too. Here's some of it: "No need for nostalgia or remorse. Destroying is better than creating when we're not creating those few truly necessary things. But is there anything so just and true in this world that it has the right to live?”

This was a very good interview; this guy has some really inciteful commentary.

"Music is truly asphyxiating on its own vomit" Bradford Bradford Bradford I can listen to him talk all day

Streaming in to the vodi! How come I didn't come across him sooner! I know his band but I didn't know he was such a character!!!!! Epic

great words. his music is so safe tho for him to speak how he does

One of the best interviews I've ever seen in my life.

Wow, what Bradford said about culture and music was really thought-provoking. I feel like Bradford is either a journalist's dream or a journalist's nightmare. For some he does their work for them - they don't need to ask a question because he just talks and talks and loves doing it. For some he makes it really awkward and difficult haha, and I've seen lots of interviewers completely fail to rise to his level when he's in that sort of mischievous mood. This interview was the former, thankfully.

its great to see bradford going deep into real issues, come to chile !

Love you Bradford!

i love him!!!

So many facts in so little time

What an artist type!

He's a real one

I want to start taking adderall again but I’m afraid I’m going to act like this

There are something really important on what he's talking about. Zygmunt Baumann touches on this theme on his works. I mean, the culture is ending up, ou generation, our era is liquified, our time, our human relations are so quick and end up so fast, and publicity, via internet, is just always controlling and molding our way of thinking, unfortunately this affects our culture, that does not have an identity. That's so sad... :/

my hero!!

❤️ THE INDIE KING B.Cox

he is wonderful, i love him, big weirdo without concern about being such

Deer hunter is a great name for a band

ughhhh I loveeee his convo super real like no shade or anything I love this guyyyy

You are my distant soulmate...

Who is going to sample this guy and.make a next baz luhrmann song !!! :)

Holy shit! I love Brad and Deerhunter, and I dig what he is saying about finding source of information and inspiration, but that interview is just hilarious! 😂 Sound like something straight from GTA radio station. I like it though.

What if you like his music, you like what he's saying, and you have started a band?

He is so loud lol

Genius musician.

Decline of an underground scene is kinda wrong; it has pivoted because the internet. Now you see trends pop up and go so quickly. You just gotta know where to look. I don't think having stuff readily available is bad either. We always always always criticise of over saturation of technology (see: every film since 2000), but never on self-control. It's like people complaining they can't read e-books compared to hardback (admittedly I was like this before) -- don't you see that's a reflection of you and not the medium itself? My opinion, anyway, is self-control is everything, especially with the internet/digital outlets.

Moving to the big city... so true. Carbon copies everywhere.

profound.

Weird, but interesting guy.

real

what a different person, but i like it.

Penderecki, Messiaen, Bartok, Kandinsky? Bradford, show us the way please.

wow rockstar

lol, first 10 minutes and the interviewer barely even spoke

You know..

bradford the aviator (this is brutal)

It feels like this guy just disappeared when the pandemic happened. What the fuck.

did the interviewer get in 2 words?

Just tell me what thm means. Tell me your stories from your life. I like your ideas/philosophies. I’d prefer to hear about what made you you. Talk about GA. Tell more about that tape you made in ‘94 and so on

uhhh what was the question again?..

The most important man in music.

21:38 - 22:21

kk starting a band like you said cya

Brad's pronunciation of Nykvist is closer.

when people say i've been doing this for 10 years, i'm like 19:24

Who the fuck gave cocco to this guy??... no, seriously, the thruth is that I agree with all he says to the letter. I also like his music, nevertheless I'm going to start a band anyway. I love you Bradford. I wish you were my bigger brother. or a close friend.

Bradford has changed his looks a bit! Like, thicker.

he talks exacly like Szukalski

ya know...

if this guy isn't strung out he could perfectly play the part.Screw it though, love his music.....

In my opinion he almost makes some interesting or somewhat original points but just falls short of the mark. He seems too quick to doubt himself and worries about coming across as a hypocrite. To me it looks like he suffers heavily from cognitive dissonance. I really like Deerhunter's music. Not sure if I like his mostly aimless rant. I'm surprised people find this particularly interesting or important. Maybe he feels at an age and at a time where he's not the young, cool kid in an exciting world anymore, now he's working in a bit of a hollow industry/culture as an adult in which he wishes held more meaning and authenticity. I somewhat agree that culture now holds little importance in the modern western world. The problems of a throw-away, internet, everything now, consumer based culture. I get the points he makes but to me it's very obvious, not very thought provoking or interesting. I also think it's simply too cynical a way to think. I guess if it makes people think about what culture means to them or how one can be more active within our own communities to further facilitate or create culture; than maybe something can be taken away from this. Also, is he drunk or just like this?

Bradford actually looks healthier in the face. His affliction is tough to cope with.

Culture is memes and tik tok. Its sick. 12:30 spot-on

has no idea what he's saying. sorry. love his LPs.

This isn't an interview lol

Sadly his description of what you would be getting with their latest album i.e. middle of the road indie, was all too accurate.

?

Didn't know Zyklon Ben had a band.

sucks when you get the opportunity to interview Bradford Cox on your radio station and have to admit on camera that you don't know 20th century music history ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's guilty of adopting the same attitude that he's accusing other people for.

Seems very talented, but his lack of education and refinement is a little more prevalent than I think he can understand. It's a train wreck listening to the discombobulated bouncing around. He's high, or stupid. But hey, he's a damn creative guy and that's what matters.

Cocaine is a helluva drug

Could not be more pretentious lmao

White kanye

High as balls. Notice the nose scratching.

He's rude and a bit boring.

his voice is obnoxious. i love a lot of deerhunter songs, but c'mon. don't act like you understand the music industry if you (clearly) don't.

Good Lord stop picking at your nose man! Have some class, some manners. Starting at 17:36 Literally in 12 seconds he picks his nose FIVE times! Gross. Creepy enough he is as it is, but then he has to go picking his nose, my goodness. Yuck man.
