Thank you so much! Either for your advice and for MP3 files.

She may be just doing her job, but she is doing a *horrible* job. I'd argue that it's inappropriate to waste the interviewee's time by being ill-prepared and generally *clueless*. Ask a half-arsed question...get a half-arsed answer. Besides, Amy explained that she was exhausted, and apologized every time she yawned.

I disagree, I didn't think her questions were that bad, just that perhaps she found it hard to express herself well in English. She sounded a bit starstruck as well. I do however think Amy often came off kind of arrogant in her BTB era interviews (especially compared to Frank era) and it wasn't always charming... It's like listening to someone else sometimes.

I wonder if the arrogance has to do with her possibly having BPD or something else, because sometimes narcissistic traits go along with that... and it can make someone unpleasant although her charming nature was probably why no one could take those issues seriously...hmm

Why can't Amy just be tired without it turning into personality disorders lmao

I'm sorry...but I found those questions to be horrid. I could sense the same "WTF?" expression in Amy's voice as I was feeling when the interviewer was going on and on about the juke box. Not Amy's personal juke box preferences, as to garner a more thorough feel of her BTB influences or her state of artistic emotion during the course of writing/recording the album...but the physical machine itself. Wat.

I give her credit for not asking the interviewer flat out what in the actual fucktitude she was talking about. O_o

I think because it's a little bit strange in the 2000s listen to music from a juke box...maybe...but in the state of mind of Amy was not exactly the most appropriate question.

Really??

Around here every billiard hall and bar has a Juke Box with all types of music on it.

We actually have a diner up the road where each booth has their own individual mini juke box attached to every table; you can listen to anything from Frank Sinatra to Metallica while enjoying your meal. It's pretty cool.

Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan and Dylan. (now that would've been a better question)
That part was weird but yeah jukeboxes aren't really a thing everywhere, but it was funny how persistent she was over something so irrelevant haha

That third interview took place the day after Amy played the Kalkscheune and there was alot of Rickstasy drinking going on that night. Back to Black was being released in Germany at that time and the record label people there were invited to celebrate at the shows after party down in the basement bar of the club. They were also drinking Rickstasys, and so was the media guy that wrote one of the articles. He said that one drink made him dizzy and he called it "the milky white drink from hell", and he was surprised that she was 'drinking one glass after another at the bar'. The after party lasted until 5am and Amy had a number of interviews scheduled for the next day and cancelled all of the ones earlier in the day. I think she was just tired and very hungover the next day when she yawned throughout that interview.

That's pretty much what I could gather from these two German articles ...

You're like...the research master of disaster. Kudos to you, I always love reading the articles you post

[Amy Jenna Harper]

thanks ^^

[HelloSailor]

wow, that 3rd interview is a train wreck! Not so much Amy, she's just reacting to the terribly appalling questions.

[orangevanilla]

She's stunning in that photo, will catch up on the articles now!
Thank you, OP!!!
