It seems previous episodes are available: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/safran/default.htm

Depending how the interview goes and if there's anything worthy of discussion, I nominate we don't make a topic till after the interview finishes.

EDIT MEGA AWESOME UPDATE (sorry...) It seems you can listen live. So all you non-Australians and/or Australians who for some reason can't get near a rado, go to:
http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/listen/default.htm
and click one of the links under "Listen Live." and enjoy the goodness. About half an hour till the show starts.

I was gonna, but my mp3 player doesn't get Triple J... <_<
you can listen online if you're at a computer

I'll record it anyway, and put it up on yousendit.com

I made a topic, just to let people know that they can listen. I don't think the US members frequent this forum

Here's an Australian ABC radio interview I put up this morning, the title is a little bit understated though-

http://www.abc.net.au/newcastle/stories/s1793993.htm

You can download the 18 minute interview in mp3.

I also have so Al bits on my website, but it is a PG more than G rated site.

Were the song clips added later, or are you just that good? You had every relevent song right there....

That was a very awesome interview, I actually learned stuff :blink:

Thankyou,

I've been a huge Al fan since my day's on Community Radio, so I pull out all the stops in the production for an Al interview. Also if you're talking about something, maybe everybody hasn't heard it, or wouldn't mind being reminded of the sounds.

It's also a good sampling of the new album for those that haven't got around to it yet. (fools)

I see the Aust tour has been announced and March will officially be National Yankovic Fever month here. NSW has it's state election as well. Could be the chance Al's been waiting for to get his entire band cabinet posts.

Hello Maynard,

I have got to agree that was an awesome interview too. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Cheers! :Y

That was awesome :D I'm listening to it for the second time right now, very well done. :)

So, March? Hmm... that doesn't give me much time to save money... I'm going to Canberra for a month and won't be working in that time, so I'm gonna be a bit low on funds... but I think it's worth sacrificing a few things for the sake of Al :D Hoping Al comes to Perth!
