Yes, the interview went okay. I say okay because I don't think I have the experience for it, but I did my best. I don't know why, but I wasn't as excited for this interview as I was for previous interviews.
I was being interviewed in a coffee shop, which would have been fine, but music I recognized kept playing. Two of them were the following: Radiohead's "House of Cards" and Spoon's "Paper Tiger".
This might be my favorite Radiohead song, though I must admit I am also a fan of Thom Yorke's "Hearing Damage." I like how mellow this song is. I like how it's a song about trying to get a woman to have an affair. The singer talks about the woman's relationship as a house of cards, but anyone familiar with affairs knows what they qualify as. (The singer is a jerk, obviously.) Also, this video is really cool!
And this is Spoon's "Paper Tiger." The moment this song started I thought "Oh, it's Spoon!" I've been in love with this band for almost ten years now.
Music has an odd way of dropping into one's life. As a listener, you construct meaning for a song based on the moment in your life it came around. I don't think I ever imagined either of these songs being associated with interviewing.
