The Most Awkward Interview Ever

As all you music journalists out there know, interviewing bands can sometimes be awkward... and they can get even more awkward while on camera. I thought I'd had some flubs in the past, but this interview with The Walkmen on Fox News (yeah, I know, totally wtf) talking about their new album, You & Me, really takes the cake. It's like watching an episode of the British version of The Office. I love how it's also painfully obvious when someone who knows nothing about music tries to fluff over an interview with a band...

The best part: A graphic that ran at the bottom of the screen stating "The Walkmen are an indie rock band." Thanks for letting us know, Fox News! The performance following the shitty interview would have never turned me onto that delicious tidbit of information...

But Jen, Fox News is "The Most Powerful Name In News"!

"So do you write a lot of music on the bus, or does that make you carsick?"

I think she's tryiing to be goofy, but it comes off as dumb.

The intonation in her voice sometimes makes her sound like a school teacher.
