Jack Antonoff / Bleachers INTERVIEW

The album is so incredibly good, I just ran through it. The vibes are indescribable but also so impeccable. Jack should feel very proud imho. Gonna enjoy listening to it many more times. Excited to watch this.

[@jml6263]

Hearing him talk about it, really yeah. Nails it. It's a moody album but with none of the negative connotations to that word to me anyways. Iunno, I really loved it and think he really did something swell with this.

[@ajshaniq]

This album is so timeless just as much as Gone Now. I know I'll be listening to this still in 3 years.

[@xDominoskax]

I'm only halfway through it and have caught myself repeating a few songs before they even ended. I've loved all their albums (especially unplugged) and this one feels no different. I will say so far Gone Now still might be my favorite, but it resonates with me anytime I listen to it. I hope to see Anthony talk about this new album since he's always included the others in the YUNO Review series.

[@ibs_haver]

Ok it was funny the first time, but you really didn't have to make 38 "Jack-off," jokes in the interview Anthony. I think Jack started to get sick of it around the 30 minute mark.

[@veryhotflame2022]

Jack Antonoff has always seemed to display an unshakable sincerity in everything he does, and I'll always see that as his greatest asset as an artist.

[@helloanyahere2876]

I wholeheartedly agree

[@maddexulanowski1184]

Anthony don’t be so hard on yourself, you did a good job filming the love scene with Jack.

[@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435]

Melon just joined the miles high club last week and he already made a scene by beating meat for an hour on top of a flying Antonov 225, 48,000 feets high. He gotta pay for the stains tho..

Jack making sure Anthony was a Bruce Springsteen guy before continuing with the interview is so on brand

[@poolsidejoe]

its crazy the way Jack tlks about the things Bruce did for young artists from NJ is EXACTLY what he's doing now, it inspires me so much how loudly and proudly he loved New Jersey that it's made me feel the same

The album is amazing, I was totally blown away! Always known about Jack through his work with Lorde, Lana, Clairo etc etc - and Fun. ocf, how could I forget!? But never taken the time to check out Bleachers. The album release was the perfect opportunity, and oh my god I'm so happy I did. Last time an alt rock album made me feel this excitement was with Declan McKenna's 'Zeros' from last year. The track 'Chinatown' had me hooked instantly, had to listen to it 4 times before I moved on to the next track. It just keeps on going, so powerful! Same vibes with '45' as well. Let's talk about 'How dare you want more' though! Oh man, it's such a great song. Organic, energetic, it's a studio live performance if there ever was one. The duel between the guitar and sax, and the sax taking off in the end... I was on a jog when listening to the album, and it just had me running faster and faster. It was a crazy experience, I felt like I could run forever. Could talk about the other songs as well, but I wanted to highlight these. The album is incredible, and I'm now listening to the rest of Bleacher's discography. I can tell I'm going to be a huge fan! Thank you Jack for all of your amazing work throughout the years, both with your own projects and collabs! 'Melodrama' is my favorite album ever, and I can't wait to see what you and Lorde have been cooking up with on 'Solar Power'!

[@jackflorio6483]

If I could ask Jack to talk about something .... maybe it would be greasy spoon diners. I liked the stop making it hurt vid. It was over the top.

Hopefully. Taylor seem to have weeded out boring/dumb interviewers over the years so maybe Ant could reach her radar by now. Also, if that happens, I want Ant to ask Taylor if the 4chan lurking theory is true. I need the answer in my life.

Ant needs to put his notes or whatever he's looking at within his eye level. His constant looking down on his phone/paper could come across as disengagement to certain people. Also it makes it obvious that his mind is already on the next question while the guest is still talking.

[@Christian-eq6pq]

Fantano tends to ramble on long tangents and these artists usually have time constraints so he usually leaps forward to the next question just to make sure he asks everything he wants to be answered

[@queenhenryviii]

Maybe for someone who doesn’t have a lot of meetings via a video call/zoom/Skype but it’s certainly something that Jack or any other artist would be privy to. Even in person, face-2-face, you would have to glance down at your notes… to go even further, it would be really weird to not break eye contact every one in a while when talking to someone. Regardless, your criticism isn’t even valid, he’ll go fairly long stretches of uninterrupted “eye contact”… while Jack is looking this or that way as he’s answering a question. Just because you can make a critique, doesn’t mean you should. Perfection doesn’t exist, so unless your criticism is adding to the conversation, maybe just not contribute the overflowing negativity of comments section.

[@cheesecakelasagna]

@@queenhenryviii You know what, you got a point. Having watched the whole thing with my eyes on it maybe made that little habit more noticeable. I guess it doesn't really matter between the interviewer and interviewee, and that should be the top priority. As per your criticism bit, I just commented what bothered me at the moment. I don't expect content creators to actually follow through every suggestions ever just to appease. They'd use do their own jusgement anyway. I didn't even type it expecting anyone to agree or read. Just a typed in half-thought to drown in the daily sea of comments. And my wording isn't even remotely negative, I think. Perhaps I should've used less word that suggest demand. But that's my limited English vocab kicking in.
