Some were long, and some were short. This is one of the short ones. I was accompanied by my handsomely bearded friend Craig who did sound for me. We briefly talk about his beard.\n\nSome quick insight into \"press\" life - at festivals you are not allocated very long with the artists you want to interview. I originally only had ten minutes with Ben. This then changed to one question. Which is fine, because if you're an artist and you're talking to press all day I can see why it would get tiring.\n\nWe talk a little about how their music has evolved out of writing a record they hadn't heard to now doing things that people don't expect them to do.\n\nAfter the interview he said he hoped he could do this again the next time they play Glasgow. I hope so too. He was also happy I didn't ask random stock questions like \"what animal would you be?\" etc. I guess people are as tired of being asked them as I am hearing them/reading them.\n\nI hope you like it.\nThoughts?
\nIf you guys like the idea of super short interviews that exist alongside the podcast then I can definitely do more of them. Please let me know!\nFeatured Music
