8.6.25

This mock interview takes place between between the penultimate and ultimate songs of Fevers and Mirrors; technically it is on the track An Attempt to Tip the Scales.

In the interview Oberst is in fact voiced by Todd Fink, lead singer of the Omaha based The Faint and the radio interviewer is Matt Silcock of Lullaby for the Working Class. At times the actual Oberst can be heard laughing and insulting Saddle Creek (his own record label) in the background.

The surreal nature of the exchange, the nonsequitors, and winding narrative is reminiscent of some early interviews with Bob Dylan.
