The Year in Interviews

This year we interviewed just under 300 people. From die hard New Yorkers to those just passing through our fair city, here are some our faves. And if you really wanna get reflective, here's our best of interview post from 2007.

Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio explained his disappearing beard, his band's new album, and the perils of gentrification.

I see you around Brooklyn a lot, from Williamsburg to Greenpoint. Is it hard for you to go about your business living among so many indie rock nerds? I cut my hair and that makes it a hell of a lot easier not to be the Mickey Mouse anymore. But I don't want to not be able to live the way I live, you know, that doesn't sound like any sort of fun to me. Everyone I know takes the back route sometimes because they don't want to talk to everyone, you know? It's awesome and I like living in New York and when they finally push all the Bohemia out of Williamsburg—which they're in the process of doing, I don't know if you noticed. There's less and less fun as we make it and more and more fun as it's dictated.
