Maybe everyone has a different favorite part of this interview
There are lots of good parts of this NYT interview with Phoenix. Friend Casey had two, one he blogged and one he tweeted. My favorite part:
Q. Do you think of your own music as romantic?
MR. BRANCOWITZ Actually, yes. I think there's maybe one theme in our music, and it's something like romantic abandon. We call that teenage abandon, that kind of anxiety and abandon that you enjoy.
Q. How do you hold on to that as adults?
MR. BRANCOWITZ: It's not hard. I mean, it's not related to age — I say teenage because it's something you experience with the most force when you are young. You know this emotion you have when you see a movie that's so beautiful or you hear a piece of music that sounds perfect? It's this kind anxiety and joy. So it's very easy, actually. You just have to see the right piece of art.
