Knock out interviews with John Foxx, Warren Cann and David Gahan

I gathered som great old interviews in this post. All of them are from swedish TV, which has a long history of being smug, annoying and notoriously lousy on researching before interviews..

 

One of this blogs followers, Steven Eisler, sent me this clip. It's just fantastic, an hillarious interview with John Foxx in swedish TV back in the 70's.  He seems extremely frustrated and annoyed right from the start of the interview. When you watch it you understad that he must have been through hell in the preparations and set up before they kicked things off...

Short interview with John discussing Eno, punk and being a "Human Being". The ending is hillarious, with the hosts of the show picking up instruments and serenading John with "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow"

 

The blond guy cutting John off is saying: "I think we will need to cut this off and actually listen to some music instead"... LoooooooL :-)

 

 

Lets check out swedish television in the 80's as well. This is an interview with Warren Cann from the popular show "Måndagsbörsen". The fact that cities are called different names in different languages can be confusing. Especially if you don't know what a city is called in your mother tounge.

Vienna, Venice, Wien, Wurzburg, Slough. Whats the difference...

 

 

This clip is also from "Måndagsbörsen" in 82. David Gahan interview and Depeche Mode performs See You. Hmm, the interviewer talks about synthesizers vs. "real" instruments. Annoying but common at the time I guess...

First you'll see a great interview with David "Dave" Gahan. Then Depeche Mode will perform See You, all @ Måndagsbörsen 1982. This television musicshow was broadcast in Sweden from 1979-1984.

Note: You can clearly see how the cameraman keeps zooming in on Andrew Fletchers hands to REALLY show that he is fake-playing his Moog Source. Not fair! They should have zoomed in on Martin Gore or Alan Wilder instead, and the nice PPG Wave 2.

 

 

Thank you Steven Eisler. Check out his band Jetstream Soldier on Myspace

I Have Synth

Biography: 

Been into synthesizers for 15 years, but never a technical geek. I'm a member of the band Velours Perfect, and have had electronic music as a hobby since I stopped playing with G.I Joe Figures. I buy and sell synths all the time, sometimes manically, and my favourite synth varies, right now it is the Alesis Ion. On this blog you can read about whatever comes out of my mind, mostly synthesizer-related stuff though. Bzzt!

 

I'm also on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and off course Ihavesynth.
