Will Sheff and Okkervil River decided to answer questions from MTV2 Subterranean (whatever that is) by writing songs as responses. Check out their answer to why The Stage Names and The Stand-Ins were not released as a double album. At first I couldn't believe Will wasted his time writing songs for a stupid interview, but after hearing it, I've got to say, what a great fucking idea.
Read on for more clips from the interview...
On Will's "secret shame crush"...
Key verse: "I guess that begs the question is it weird to have a crush on a cadaver?"
On what is the greatest music movie ever... (this is actually quite a beautiful little "song")
And here's that "Lost Coastlines" video (and this song will be showing up on my top 10 of the year after spending the past eight weeks -- yes, it's been 8! - at #1 for the week for me)...(and yes, that is Jonathan Meiberg, former member of Okkervil River and current lead singer for Shearwater whose vocals (and face in the video) alternate with Will's for this amazing song)...
