Is that the name of a new band? It outta be. In fact, it’s my recommendation for interviewing on the radio because you never know when someone will pull out their iPhone (Dmae!) and film you. Thankfully, I did shave. And I’m hoping to hell the video never makes it online because there was a piece of Kleenex stuck in my hair.
Well, that’s the beauty of radio: you are seen and not heard. So I could have shown up in a pair of plastic underpants and nobody (except Dmae) would have cared. OK. Maybe the producer would have, too. But I’m a mature adult who has long given up my Devo wig and matching shorts.
Here’s the interview in its full glory, including a truncated performance of a song I wrote when I was 14–about my deep, deep understanding of the opposite sex. Let’s just say I thought they wore wigs, too. And shaved their legs alot.
