I don’t know why exactly Thurston Moore was interviewing an at that time almost unknown Beck, but it’s such a funny, strange, but warm interview that I never fail to get a kick out of it.
I remember this interview so well. It was a common reference for a friend and I in highschool. "Xanadu, I'm sure all the listeners will be able to relate to that"
Yeah, I had not appreciated the strange and sudden success of Loser after a bunch of tough times for the young musician - I just reviewed his page on Wikipedia.
What an amazing moment to capture. Thurston's deadpan style works perfectly. Thanks for the link.
