The interview tacked onto the end of "An Attempt To Tip The Scales" is horrible. This guy wants to be deep, but he can't get over his intellectual limitations. Here is one of the many faux-profound exchanges:Interviewer: 'How about this Ariennette (sp)? How does she fit into all this?'Oberst: 'I'd prefer not to talk about it... in case she's listening.'Interviewer: 'Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize she was a real person.'Oberst: 'She's not. But... I made her up.'Interviewer: 'Oh, so she's not real.'Oberst: 'Just as real as you or I.'Interviewer: 'I don't think I understand.'Oberst: 'Neither do I, but after I grow up I will. I mean, a lot of things are really unclear for me right now.'"The interview just kills the album. Not that it was ever living to begin with.
