Harmony Korine reminds of Tom Waits in interviews, making stuff up that sounds real. It's really cool to mess about with stuff like that, esp in an interview context when somebody is taking you more seriously than you take youself.
he's also lieing about being friends with two twins who's father invented "choose your own adventure" novels and are now on death row. the real inventor of "choose your own adventure" novels is Edward Packard who doesnt have two twin boys. harmony i think does that sometimes, its always entertaining though. he does it a bunch in the letterman interviews...
It is weird how he drifts into lies all the time like that. I wonder if he's just doing it because he finds it entertaining or if he's making fun of the interviewers/interviewing cliches and stuff like that
you all should google zola jesus. she's a very well-respected and talented musician. david lynch has remixed her. this is just an informal and fun interview. i'm sure he's most likely aware of her music as well.
@EddieR541 when you "represent the avant-garde" as that tool letterman said, it comes with the territory, i certainly would if I was him. its a nice change from regular celebrities who just wanna talk about themselves and how great they are. harmony hides in trees, much cooler.
@iamweapon I agree wholeheartedly, although I think Letterman's whole playing dumb in regards to the avant-garde thing might be deliberate and not just stemming from his lack of knowledge. I feel like he has to keep the kind of ideas that more intelligent artists have only on the surface of the conversation, in order to appease the large fraction of the population that only want to hear jokes. This is why I enjoy talk shows more along the lines of Dick Cavett's or Charlie Rose's.
@iamweapon Yeah, I've noticed that as well, I think he says things of that nature that seem too crazy to be true in order to encourage the people who can tell he's lying to find out about the subject matter themselves. He probably just really enjoys fucking with interviewers as well, I know I would.
@EddieR541 Oh yeah, that's obvious for sure, but the fact that he just goes along with that mentality because his producers want him to is why i call him a tool. Seems just like a sell-out attitude. But I agree, im a big tom snyder fan he had no audience, it was just him and the person he was interviewing and he didnt need to appeal to the peanut gallery. One thing I like about Conan O'Brian is that he doesn't place any ridicule on his guests, he puts it on himself, and still keeps it funny.
Although I dig some of her music I think it would have been better to have the interviewer have actual knowledge about Harmony Korine and his work. Also what a terrible place to have an interview.
I think that he likes to fuck with people and compare himself to commonfolk with bad taste. He also might be sick of the slime that roam the earth that think they are special for acknowledgment of obscure entertainment. I happen to like obscure things but hate people that think they are special for it. I didn't even know that the word hipster applied to todays people that favor Sonic Youth, Art Films, etc. I found out that i could be labeled as a hipster 4 months ago. Fuck that.
he gets off on the fact that people accept his blatantly false statements as truths and so do i
Great interview! She’s awesome
Zola's music is cool
HAHAHA I cant believe he brought up crunchy blac!
i was not expecting a crunchy black video to be in the suggestions when i first clicked this
And why would he even agree to do the interview if he was going to fuck with the interviewer so hard??????

i love the curb dancing thing
I love the people eating and drinking next to them and not giving a single fuck about who he is or whats even going on.
No, he's not a rabbit, he's a rapper
thumbs up if project pat and crunchy black brought u here
he's also lieing about being friends with two twins who's father invented "choose your own adventure" novels and are now on death row.
the real inventor of "choose your own adventure" novels is Edward Packard
who doesnt have two twin boys.
harmony i think does that sometimes, its always entertaining though. he does it a bunch in the letterman interviews...
is the interviewer the drummer for ty segall?
Whats a good time and place to meet up?

Whether you tell the "truth" or a lie, you are weaving a story.
@MutantDog266 Nah, she's a solo musician from Merril, Wisconsin.
you all should google zola jesus. she's a very well-respected and talented musician. david lynch has remixed her. this is just an informal and fun interview. i'm sure he's most likely aware of her music as well.
he's such a smart ass i love it.
How so?

forgetfullknots,
I definantly agree with you. Taking pleasure in Sonic Youth is now classed as being a hipster? Fuck
@bungholebutthead - reminds me of a Gibby Haynes interview, with your name, i thought...
@iamweapon hes joking
he talked about doing it in Beautiful losers
its an alright interview. harmony seems really tired lately.

Baby zeej
Im sorry was I going on a rant 2 years ago? Im pretty sure i just stated an observance about harmony korine's personality...

Its not a lie
I think its called "a joke"
Although I dig some of her music I think it would have been better to have the interviewer have actual knowledge about Harmony Korine and his work. Also what a terrible place to have an interview.
"trash hummers looks really.. really fucking amazing. ya!" smh
harmony always lies in interviews about random people, he admits to it in the interview with "gaspar noe"

He's joking

Radiohead lol

some one needs to remind that chick it's not a speed-dating session
trentigalaxy 😂😂😂😂
About 100 IQ points difference between them.
In this context, I can't even tell who has the advantage.
@Vitamin Death
You are clueless. It's the other way around. You can see in her eyes she'd want a chance with him, but she's too stupid for him.
He's weird
