Hope to god thats sarcasm. The beatles arent from scotland lmao. Theyre english. From liverpool.

[@0xyzabcx0]

@@noverrr4508 that’s a common misconception, Liverpool is in Scotland.

Great picks by a great person and artist

Phoebe is so cool and her smile is infectious as hell :D love her new record, so melancholic and soothing

[@Northerntransmissions]

You are right, she is very cool. Wonderful person to meet and so easy to chat with!

How did she come out with such an important line so effortlessly?!!

[@ernielara9599]

Phoebe is so beatiful ! DAMN !

[@TheBella2u]

Smart kid who is a true music connoisseur with a snarky sense of humor. Love her.

[@ricksamericana749]

If Phoebe Bridgers didn't write and sing such poignantly beautiful music I am sure she would have made an excellent standup comedian.

her voice is so soothing ☹️🫶🏻

[@FalardeMusicaeLegal]

I read about her on Mojo, and very suspiciously, came to KZbin and clicked on this. Love at first sight.

[@wearecoaches]

I pray she keeps being awesome...we need her, I need her! I thank her mom for encouraging her!

[@rb919]

I love that she said New Moooon

[@xpez9694]

its interesting to hear young people discuss older music as contemporary ideas. It's as if the music is so timeless it still can connect to passionate listeners no matter what year it is...

[@drverano1918]

I believe that what qualifies really good music as really good music when it can span generations and musical eras and still make sense

[@alexxa6237]

Gorgeous. Love her music too.

[@schmohawk777]

Great questions and great interview.

[@joelmartin7630]

'Rubber Soul' has always been my favourite Beatles record. A fine choice, Phoebe!

[@Koshirozation]

the painful beauty of insights about loving someone and not being with them anymore on "stranger in the alps" really made my november and december days and night less lonely and more meaningful. i discovered phoebe towards the end of the year and everything changed for me. i love music that, yes, sounds sad and has that effect on me, but is yet so full of serene love and a whole spectrum of just emotions of all kinds flooding in that makes me think "while things might be bad i love shivering with emotions and life is beautiful" haha, sounds cheesy, but that is what phoebe's music did for me. for many people i think. i wish her all the best, she is a few years older than me and im so happy for her going big. and a quick note on this channel: i love it so so much! the questions, how albums they mention are edited to show on the screen (yeah i know thats not a big deal ahaha but so many interviewers don't "highlight" the things people say and reference to) and the choices that are made - both popular and well established musicians and some that are on the rise but need shout outs and more attention! KEEP IT UP, lots of love!

[@connie6738]

this is exactly how i feel about stranger in the alps

[@mustBmusic63]

Phoebeeee. Rubber soul is the album that changed my life forever. And ps I am obsessed with Joni Mitchell’s blue. You’re amazing and you read my mind.

[@aariyanasayani]

me loving that this is filmed so local to me lol...tryna pinpoint where they are - I think it's just near the beginning of the Georgia viaduct! love that phoebe performed at this awesome local venue, she's so amazing, loved seeing her live!!

[@Northerntransmissions]

Cheers! Yeah we really enjoyed meeting and talking music with Phoebe Bridgers.

[@tonywhitburn]

“No, they’re canadians”. I lost it completely😂

[@Northerntransmissions]

Yup, she's a funny woman. I think her lyrics show off her intellect very well.

[@donaldholman9070]

Best musician..ever!

[@Carrandas]

I would probably just give him 6 Elliott Smith albums... and maybe that new album, Stranger in the Alps. And you're right, there are no guilty pleasures so let me just add: ABBA rules.

[@weber471]

good interview er and ee

[@nehir4476]

she’s my girl crush ❤️

[@veerchasm1]

I just listened to that Jackson Brown album...38 minutes I won’t be getting back

[@chasehanson4846]

I knew she would say Rubber Soul and it actually happened 😩

[@peterbruce8039]

I got The Hold Out in a bargain been too!

[@Waltodim]

She loves Jackson Browne...He is one of the Greatest...

[@andrewivanyi1793]

I love the first record she said is Joni,

[@user-lx3td8mq5e]

"I think they were English, or Scottish, or some shit" lmao

[@renhig7743]

Omg I love that she likes the Beatles

[@Godwhyrhys]

For first album I would have said hero's by David Bowie because that is what gave me a deeper appreciation for music.

[@bjark2943]

she is....so pretty :(

[@BeckyBlueberry1]

The Beatles are from Liverpool! :)

[@Northerntransmissions]

oh yeah, she knew, she was just being funny of course. Phoebe is one smart person!

[@benwilson5929]

She looks like Amy Dunne from Gone Girl lol.

[@myessyallyahamericus8405]

I would of liked to have met ghandi. He was one of the close runner ups to my level of accomplishments. Martin Luther king jr would of been a good apprentice of mine if he were still alive. I was first born way before him. He knew we ho I was before I got my second half

So Intelligent

And Funny...lol

[@alexismadelynrau5576]

Never related to something so much

[@KateKrauss]

Seems to be interviewed in a dark alley or park Why?

[@Northerntransmissions]

Phoebe was performing at The Cobalt that night, which has a very small backstage without much sonic separation from the stage. We opted to film beside the venue so that we could actually hear her talking rather than the opening band doing their soundcheck. The darkness is just due to the hour we filmed at.

[@violetscrypt]

phoebe always makes me feel so uncultured, i don’t any of these albums

[@thenaturallyinsane1]

No Rubber Souls....PET SOUNDS! :)

[@benbaxter5000]

Phoebe: "Hi, this is..." Me: Why can't I be with you!! 😭💔

[@georgemorris6778]

Had the same rubber soul answer

[@larsohrt]

Dear Phoebe... The Beatles is from Liverpool UK :-D

[@larsohrt]

-and Radiohead is from England, as well.... :-D

She was JOKING u psycho omg

Didn't the Beatles act in HELP!

[@menelli84]

@05:38 that "so" is creepy!

what you should buy for your sons first album: "Mbuti Pygmies of the Ituri Rainforest"

“How fucked up it is to live in America?”

[@myessyallyahamericus8405]

It's not fair that they keep making themselves so worthless by pretending they are worth keeping alive. Those steps as long from me are suicidal and they have so little talent its embarrassing them in delay after the fact.

[@nicknickson3650]

Boring industry plant

[@oldaccount5217]

Compare this to an Elliott smith interview and tell me which one is abused and genuinely sad

[@mayabonghi3328]

?

[@hildatheadventurer6792]

sad is a human emotion that everyone experience bro. And not everyone is sad ALL the time.she might have wrote her songs when she felt that way
