It looks as though he’s being interviewed from within a child’s playhouse with children going for a rip on their bike outside the window appropriately enough.✌️❤️

Great new album, another classic.

[@travisfuller2260]

Thank you so much for the smart questions and Dan seemed very comfortable answering them! Also, that round rainy window makes the whole thing seem so cozy and natural with the bikes passing by on the other side, helped me on a kinda bad day :)

[@FaceCulture]

glad you enjoyed it! What do you think of the new album?

[@IVgic]

​@@FaceCulture I really liked the minimal sounding songs like The Raven and The Man in Black's Blues, with heartfelt lyrics coated in this dark subtlety. Still getting familiar with the album though, I appreciate Dan saying it's not "Morse Code", made me listen to it in a more casual way and just let the imagery sink in. Hope you enjoyed talking to him as much as we do watching it!

[@FaceCulture]

Agreed, I really like his voice on the album... I'll still have to get a little bit more familiar with the songs as well. Haha yes, I must admit I do like this job :)

[@bernhardsart]

Bejar is the new cool!!!!

[@charlesknowlton7198]

I thought he was pretty cool 20 years ago.

[@kc3902]

Sounds like they are in a pool hall but someone is using a hairdryer. Anyway I hope you are still interviewing this guy in 2070. Cheers!

[@FaceCulture]

Haha, thanks we hope so too!
