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.

Harry Shearer, Spinal Tap bassist, talk show host, and voice of Mr. Burns and other immortal Simpsons characters, talked with us about his new album Songs of the Bushmen.

If you had the occasion to meet, say, George Bush, what do you think you would say? I’d be polite. I’m too old to think that I can make some really golden wisecrack and he’d say, “My God, I’ve seen the error of my ways thanks to this young fellow right here! Why did nobody ever say that to me before? Nobody has the nerve to tell me the truth.” You know, that’s fantasy land, so what’s the point? I’d say, “Hey, nice to meet you,” and he’d try to give me a nickname.
