Laughs Aloud

Maybe he can do a baby swap.

[Laughs.] 

Well, that film is bringing out the fanboys in everyone. And possibly you as well? Isn’t that a Superman mug on the table there?

I want to think Sesame Street is like that Elizabeth Berkley movie Showgirls. If Elmo gets pushed down a flight of stairs and breaks his ankle, then Grover gets the lead.

Do you always start conversations like that?

AVC: What does a night out with Dean Norris and Aaron Paul look like?

DN: [Laughs.]

Is that a movie title?

[Laughs.]

Really? Your Aunt Mennon cut off a guy’s penis and sent it to his girlfriend in a pickle jar?

[Laughs.]

Sure, I don’t know how that works, but you’re the expert.

[Laughs.]

AVC: You probably couldn’t have e-mailed back and forth about what your set lists were going to be.

MG: [Laughs.]

Pitchfork: I’ve always thought Amnesiac suffered a bit by coming out during this odd point with filesharing. People were starting to absorb tracks on the internet as soon as they appeared, and they craved new Radiohead songs, but the technology wasn’t very accelerated. Kids were on their dialups investing a half hour of their time trying to download one new Radiohead song, and they’d get it and be like, “Fuck, this is just two minutes of Robert Fripp-like guitar!”

TY: [Laughs]

BARBARA: You have a great raspy voice. It’s like Lauren Bacall without the cigarettes. 

SCARLETT: [laughs]

WENNER: This is one of your biggest hits, a great, classic, radio single, except the subject matter is slavery, interracial sex, eating pussy…

JAGGER: [Laughs]

WENNER: Who wrote “Tumbling Dice”?

JAGGER: [Laughs]

AVC: You’ve also said that when collaborating like this, you tend to write lyrics based on what you think the other person will like. Judging by the lyrics here, you must have assumed Brian was in a pretty happy place.

DB: [Laughs.]

AVC: There’s that great faux-interview you did in Stop Making Sense where you say, “The better the singer, the harder it is to believe what he’s saying.”

DB: [Laughs.]

AVC: Speaking of TV dramas, you’ve also been doing the score for Big Love—and considering the things you’ve written about religion and even Mormonism specifically, it seems like an odd pairing. Like, “We have a show about devout Mormons. Let’s get David Byrne!”

DB: [Laughs.]

AVC: What about an idea like “Playing The Building”? Does the medium come first on that? Did you wake up and say, “I’d like to turn a warehouse into an instrument today”?

DB: [Laughs.]
