Actually, I hadn't seen that interview yet, so thanks for posting it. I have seen a clip obviously from that same setting where Steven SMOKES Mike (sorry buddy! lol) in the Prog Rock quiz, though!
It was actually a great interview that corresponds well to some of the other threads going on currently, particularly the "I think I found what's wrong with Watershed" one. The part where Steve & Mike are talking about albums that demand a lot from the listener that you may not even like at first, but are facinated enough by them to want to give them a few more listens, at which point you finally start to "get it". Particularly interesting was their mention of Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica, which is a great example of a demanding, yet ultimately rewarding record to those with the patience to understand it. (I loved Steven's line about... "the first time I listened to it, I was like 'What the fuck is going on here?' " Pretty much everyone's initial reaction! lol)
Anyway, it's always cool to listen to those two talk shop any time the opportunity arises.
