Great questions, great interview! You could sense his interest in Jimmy's career. Good to see an interview that's not focused on sexual attraction but on personal development. "I worked for ten years until I had any hits" or "it's about honesty and goosebumps", very helpful for me as a 19-y/o girl trying to do sth with music

AMAZING!! I'll be watching for the next one!..to think you went home and wrote songs,but didn't like music at school...a true genius,like Einstein!

The interviewer says 'that European sound came over and smashed the US', then immediately cuts to Gotye, who's very definitely Australian. Oh dear.
