There are probably 30+ interesting interviews a day in English with musicians or people who are connected to music. I can't say I will have time to read everything people post, but maybe a clearinghouse to share stuff. I'll also make a move to post a longer quote in case nobody has time for the full interview.
To start off, a career-spanning conversation with Alison Mosshart.
And an interesting quote in reference to the differences between The Kills and The Dead Weather:
Sterogum: Besides the things you mentioned, what were the biggest differences for you being in both bands?
MOSSHART: The biggest difference is the style of music and the application. On a really basic level, to have a drummer — and to have Jack be your drummer — that’s a whole other story. To have live musicians. I’m so used to, since the Kills has been a band, walking this incredible tightrope of having a drum machine. It goes against all of your human feeling. You get excited; you want to speed up. You get to a softer part; you want to slow down. You can’t do any of that. You’re just being pulled every direction, and it creates this insane intensity — like walking a tightrope over a bunch of sharks. You can’t fall off: If you slow down and you get lost, you can’t get back on the boat, you know what I mean? You can never hide a mistake. So it creates a totally different sort of tension.
