I Am Not a Hipster Page #3

---

And when she's all finished up,

she's got something she can

actually put in her mouth,

you know, to keep her alive.

It's something real.

It's something raw, important.

And, umm... And just the other

day, I was...

I was watching her.

And I was thinking, "You know

what? That's a real artist.

"Why doesn't somebody like that

have, you know,

fans and shows and radio

interviews, things, you know?"

That's a really good question,

dude.

I mean, every time I see her,

I just...

It makes me think

that what I'm doing

is a complete waste of energy.

So, why do you do it?

I don't know. I don't know.

That's what I'm trying to

figure out right now.

I'm sorry, guys.

I mean, this guy...

This guy with

the way he connects

and the words he uses,

I see why his music touches us.

I mean, wow.

Now...

You left the farm.

Why'd you leave the farm?

'Cause you wanted to be

closer to the ocean?

No. I... I hate the beach.

(Chuckling)

Seriously though, man,

why'd you pick San Diego?

There's a lot of cities

with, uhh,

indie music scenes, you know?

I hear Austin's

nipping at our heels.

Your mom was from San Diego,

right?

Is it because

your mom's from here?

She was from here.

What part of the city's

your mom from?

I'd rather not talk about her,

if that's okay.

I was just trying to, like,

help the audience, you know,

get to know you better.

We haven't been doing that?

We have. I'm sorry. I was just...

You ran out of questions.

You start asking me questions

about my mom.

I don't feel like

talking about her.

You're not okay with that?

No, I'm fine with that.

Would you want me to talk about

how she died two years ago?

And I moved out here?

And how when I wrote my album,

with the music,

it was, you know,

I was trying to

figure all that out for myself,

how to grieve?

Maybe you could fulfill

your childhood dream.

I might, you know,

start balling like...

You can have, like,

a Barbara Walters special

or something like that.

Is that what

you're trying to do?

Man, what...

Where is this coming from?

Look, man, if your mom died,

would you want to talk about it

on some indie pop radio show?

Hmm?

Do you realize

that I'm just trying

to help you promote yourself?

I have no idea, actually,

what the f***

you're trying to do.

I'm just trying to

promote your music.

Well, guys, uhh,

that's the end of the interview.

Umm, thank you so much for, uhh,

for coming in to Brook Hyde.

I'm going to leave you

with "Spectator",

a track from his debut album,

Canines.

Get the f*** out of my studio.

Two blocks down

on the corner

Have a good one.

Watch the scene unfold

You know, guys,

he was a little rough on me.
