Jose Gonzales- The interview.

I'm in the mood for this #19

No, I'm not kidding.

Monday afternoon, I was able to interview Jose Gonzales for my radio show on Halifax's campus-community station, CKDU.

I asked him about his creative process, both solo and with others (Embee, Zero 7), how he feels about the Sony Bravia ad and even asked him a few questions from the famous Proust Questionnaire.

In honour of his playing this thursday, I also played a large amount of his songs on the show.

Methinks this interview is the beginning of a big and beautiful thing on I wanna listen to this. I plan on posting the interview, outside of the show, very soon. Keep checking.

*UPDATE:You can listen to the inteview in its entirety, here. Please note that the file is in .wav format and is about 15 minutes long, so it might take a little while to download, depending on your connection.*
