the only people that think hallelujah is jeffs only song are all the mainstreamers. read any good music magazine ie. uncut, q or mojo and talk to real music fans and they all think of grace as a whole achievment.

Kingdom For A Kiss - Jeff Buckley in Words: DoubleTake Interview

Ok, so that's a link Strum gave me with Jeff Buckley and I just wanted to say that it was absolutely horrid. It's so painfully obvious this guy has never interviewed a musician before. It was so uncomfortable to read the way he kept diverting the conversation to himself, asking questions that aren't really proper questions but a chance to share a bit of his pathetic life with a living music God. I kept thinking of what Buckley must have thought and why he hadn't walked out half way through. Terrible, although, you do get to have a little insight into the way his mind worked....

It's more like a conversation than an interview. I can see your point, but I like the fact that this interview has no pretenses to it. there's none of the stiff formality and forced "professionalism" that makes a lot of music journalism so boring these days. And I don't think Jeff would have walked out on anybody. He wasn't that kind of guy. He seemed to be a very warm and accepting person, and I don't think he considered himself so important, that he'd get indignant over something as minor as how an interview was handled. I also like the fact that the interview was clearly conducted by a fan.

Plus: When I read it, I was primarily hoping he'd drop some names of bands he was into, so I was fairly satisfied. There are interviews on Youtube, but they're too short to yeild much of worth, and everyone knows that television interviews are always clogged with superficial crap.

It's good in the way that Jeff seemed to have been a fairly talkative person so even though the questions were mostly crap, he somehow did manage to say a lot of stuff that interested me. I can't help but to think like a starstruck fan, and I would have been extremely humble in his presence, and wouldn't have dared to even consider bothering the man with a shred of personal information, let along half my life story. That's why I was embarrassed for him, and why I like the interview to be professional, ask the questions I want to know the answers to, and don't bother the man too much, Lord knows he's probably had enough of strangers nagging him.

just for kicks

jeff buckley is amazing, his music was in a league of its own. it sucks that he died when he had so much left to give to music. i would of loved to see him live

That's a good point. I like when there's a balance. Like when Jann Wenner Asked Dylan asked Dylan if he'd ever thought of making a record "very arranged, very orchestrated album with chicks" on it. That kind of casual vernacular and free-flowing enthusiam is appropriate for pop music, especially because it's still a pretty good question. I also liked recently in Rolling Stone when a writer said to Fall Out Boy (And I'm paraphrasing because I couldn't find the article), I saw you guys live last year and you sucked. Do you still suck?
