Q: WHAT ARE YOUR AMBITIONS? A. TO GROW FINS AND SWIM AWAY.
Extremely confused, and confusing, interview with Devandra Banhart from the summer of 2006. It was very late at night, I had no respect for the guy or his music and I kind of wanted to punch him for most of the duration of our conversation. That aside, we got along famously. The conflict referred to was the 2006 Israel-Lebanon War. He later dated Natalie Portman. Read the rest of this interview here.

Hadn’t thought of that before, but yeah it could be…!

Bizarre.
He’s done some good albums though. I’m a fan.

He’s the guy who has that Chinese children song isn’t he? Ah God bless him, he’s just a hippy…

I hate this pretentious poser, reminds me of a modern day Charles Manson, without the murders, yet.

I think there are pretentious cunts in the world who got an unfair helping of musical ability at birth.

I should stress by the way, that he wasn’t rude to me or anything. In fact, while I was in the bathroom he sang a complimentary song about me into the dictaphone.
I just thought he was an idiot.

Yip, that’s my boy. Except the bit he says about plastic surgery actually borders on interesting… That’s obviously his A-material.
