The Magnetic Fields’ Stephin Merritt appeared last fall on Good Morning Atlanta to promote the new Gothic Archies album and play a song he wrote for the soundtrack to the Lemony Snicket audiobooks. His interaction with the overly cheerful host is priceless.
My favorite quote, on the fate of children: “Something dark will happen to them anyway.”
(Thanks to Matt for the tip!)
THAT is the best interview ever. The host was way too bubbly to compete with Stephen’s manner. And the whole thing made me really uncomfortable. Thanks.
