I spent a part of yesterday interviewing Tokio Hotel, that buzz-crazy band from Germany. Word on the street is that their very first show in the US sparked fan madness, with a line going around the block. I asked them about their thoughts on intellectual property, given that their success is so internet-driven. I’m not totally sure they understood my question–I was speaking in English and their first language is German, but they did talk a little bit about the importance of legal downloading, and thanked the internet profusely for part of their success. I also had a few words with them about their sound, live vs. studio. It seems a lot of bands these days (Hot Chip, the Black Lips, and others) seriously prefer their sound in concert over their sound when recording. Tokio Hotel agreed, stating their love for their energetic live performances. All in all (and hair and all), it was a fun interview. Their new album, Scream comes out today.
In other news, I interviewed the cast from the Sex and The City movie on Friday. I will give up no plot lines, but the movie is AMAZING. Definitely see it if you’re a fan of the series. The entire cast gave fun, interesting, and insightful interviews. They will be up on the site soon, but for now, check out a moment towards the end of my interview with SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker) on the MTV Movies Blog.

PS.
If you haven’t gotten Yoav’s album, Charmed and Strange. Pick it up. It is certainly charmed, and absolutely strange, but definitely worth a listen.
