Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead Sound Portrait.wmv

Sound Portrait of Blonde Redhead's Kazu Makino, who talks about the release of "Penny Sparkle," her ever-lasting search for comfort and protection, eerie-sounding feelings of dissociation (except when she's with horses), successful performing and songwriting, friends back home, and her Journey. Kazu Makino spoke with St. Louis Public Radio's Aaron Doerr during her St. Louis stop on the band's Fall 2010 tour.

@leniques Sure - message me for a link to the transcript - it's on my tumblr blog maj/min

The sound file is large and she speaks (over the phone) with a heavy british accent so it's kinda wierd but definitely awesome to hear her laughing :)

Thanks - ya it was fun talking to her. I had been preparing questions for kazu but was informed at the last minute that it might be with one of the other members! This would've been okay had it not been an hour before the interview! After a quick scramble to tweak my questions her manager or PR person called and handed me to Kazu, which was a relief. I can send the full transcript if anyone's interested.

for kazu - the forward movement of society is inexorable, of such a broad swath we can't grasp the larger movements, aren't able to resolve our infinitesimal place in it. There's an impenetrable wall that shadows the ego: time and space. In the grand scale no one perceives forward movement. whatever mark left by the individual is at an atomic scale, the point where matter loses itself to energy alone.

Penny sparkle, is too sad /; well i think it has a reason, i heard that it is the last cd, maybe that's why,

Sometimes i think Kazu is not happy, because she's always showing her sad histories, that i dont understand so much.
