    Ohmygoodness, what an amazingly pretentious awkward interviewee

    Twas funny though. You could sense how flustered SM was getting and then he asked him “am I flustering you?”…..thought he was going to swear at him.
    From about 1:35 here

    I like the fact the R&M didn’t hide the fact it was difficult and didn’t suck up to him.

    Curmudgeonly. Glad the guys had a good giggle about it straight after.

    I was trying to get my chores out the way so I could catch the interview but missed it. I just turned on the radio as RadMac were nervously giggling to themselves about the interview. I guessed it had been a difficult one. I think I’ll miss it 🙂

    I’ve heard him interviewed before, by LaLa, IIRC, and I don’t think he’s being deliberately pretentious, I think he’s very dry, and that ‘dryness’ sometimes gets misinterpreted; I’ve worked with a bloke at three different firms over thirty-odd years, and there’s a similarity, Mike has really upset some people who took things he said at face value, when he’s actually joking, but it’s very difficult to tell sometimes!
    I heard the interview while driving down to Bath for an X-Ray, and I was killing myself laughing at Stewart, he was really having problems. Sometimes I don’t think he really gets the joke, and is looking for an ulterior motive, when none actually exists.
    Not as difficult an interview as one I heard involving J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr; monosyllabic barely covers it, and I think that might have been LaLa as well.

    CZ – I remember the J Mascis one too. For me though, he can do no wrong.
    I reckon SM was annoyed that he’d sussed what questions were coming and that he (Father JM) was expecting something a bit different.

    They should have asked him what his favourite colour was?
    We could have had a game of ‘celebrity walk out bingo’.

    That was excellent. At first I wondered whether he was being self aware and ironical, but that was quickly dashed. He went (in my estimation) from unashamedly aloof to troll to pillock over the course of five mins. Brilliant stuff.

    You could almost imagine SM thinking he’s getting too old for this. Before realising that the man opposite him wasn’t a trendy youngster, but a moron.

    Shame because I quite liked his album. Now I won’t be able to hear without thinking of the man.

    Hmmm, yes Father thingy was an arse but some of the questions were pretty shit – maybe they hadn’t explained to him that the show’s about going along with their the gently daft schtick

    only got to the first record though, so may have missed the worst bit

    did he string 4 words together without changing the subject or heading on a odd tangent? He sounds like a singing version of russel brand, lots of big fancy words and verbal posturing, his songs appear to have shagging refs.

    J mascis I heard get interviewed by Marc Maron on his podcast and he came across great, I do like Dino Jr though.
