Ben Kweller Interview (Pt.1)

[Jimismyguitar]

@PeripheralSenses that is exactly what I thought when I first started listening to BK! I am a die hard Weezer fan, and now I have added BK to my list of favorites XD

[ilovepaperplanes]

such an honest guy.. he does it for the music, not the money.

[FockingLars]

@ilovepaperplanes exactly. he's one of a fucking kind.

[PeripheralSenses]

He sounds just like Rivers Cuomo, with a -slight- southern accent.

[ichbineinGENIE]

he's too cute♥

[kmon3y4]

i like how he was talking about honest bands because at the time all of those bands were honest. i bet he would take back saying that kings of leon is an honest band because any honesty they had went out the door with the new album. If you want to get big, over produce the shit out of your music and in the words of matt followill, "make music for the masses."

[superdunce77]

@kmon3y4  in the year of the black rainbow *sigh*

[certificate18flix]

great interview! thanks for posting

[jess1445]

he deserves so much more media

[thevirginqueen1]

what is that a red cabbala string haha

[pricelessposition]

exactly.

[JustinWarren06415]

ben kweller is teh shiznit

[livelovelearnlife]

what he is saying about the music industry is totally real. check out wilco's documentary "i am trying to break your heart" or hanson's documentary "strong enough to break", both are about the crumbling music industry.

and go to areyoulistening(dot)com for some cool indie bands. i think ben might be on there, but i cant remember.

oh and about the whole packaging thing..that's why a bunch of cd's are coming out in paper sleeves, instead of the regular plastic ones.

[karlykohlman]

haha that transition that wilco made from one label to another was hilarious. I'm glad they made it the way they did.

[catbus87]

Great interview!

[mysterygal7890]

finally a great musician with some integrity.

[natalieerr]

Ben Kweller was wearing these exact clothes when I saw him in concert. Man, is this guy the shit.

[Johnsoniscoolandya]

if you guys like ben, check out elliott smith. He's really really good. Listen to fond farewell, and rose parade. He died in 2003.

[willmcloskey]

Ah man, Guys go buy his CDs! WTF! Poor guy. His music is amazing...

[JustinWarren06415]

thats right, support the artists you love. I have two of his CDs

[DanielleAtForty]

you what the funny part is??

wilco & bright eyes & ben kweller

are basically my favorite groups.

<3

i like what he says about myspace & stuff

haha he's into gadgets. lol

[justwondering118]

hahah well aren't YOU fucking cool!

[plaidduckfish]

such a good musician

[vivaelrock87]

Awesome, the best music in my opinion comes when in it is honest and is born with a motive.

[RockyRaccoon7]

parat2? seriously hello

[sugarcramp]

grass roots is where he lives, and where I live and hopefully more people like us are cropping up everywhere to spread the message...damn, that almost sounds like a religeous experience...

BK kills better than any 'god'.

anybody get the s.o.h.?

[walker1921]

aww man i love him.

[frallyanne]

[bhdoug]
