[@GeoAl09]

My left ear enjoyed this a lot.

[@stuartholden6163]

Me too. Don't know why it's in mono-panned left.

[@JeromePullenJr]

[@laricoalvaro]

[@andyvarness1810]

[@Aspenbeveridge]

GeoAl09 lol

[@originallimu]

"Yeah we're tame impala so we all have girlfriends"

[@sashejames6949]

I love you Kevin. Your awkwardness make this that much hotter

[@Huumf]

sashe james I’m awkward love me

[@p6608]

lmao

[@jorgek92]

He is high haha

[@MrBenBarzilai]

Is anyone else really surprised at how deep his speaking voice is?

[@buborcc]

+Ben Barzilai I was thinking about this just now

[@colsonrizzuto7973]

In suns coming up he sings in his natural deep voice for a little

[@OfTheCoast1234567]

I think most aussies have low voices. Think it's the accent

[@sachin812]

His innerspeaker has a bit of him singing at his normal voice to an extent

[@coldacre]

you guys need to watch a Barry White interview.

[@TheEclectic]

The interviewer seems to be too focused on the next question instead of listening to Kevin's responses.

[@blake1187]

I'd expect a radio station to be able to at least get audio in the left and the right.

[@puddud4]

No way I follow you on Twitter! Sick thumbnail. Really distinct

[@mafaldabtr3264]

Kevin's smile is life

[@gtiszavari8429]

Man, Kevin you are adorable. Love how real and engaging he is despite not really being listened too..😂

[@MrPCSniperFi]

Kevin's words are of nothing but wisdom and genius. this guy is amazing.

[@JW-jg6vq]

I hate how no interviewer ever asks him something like “yo how much drugs you do?

[@Xorrand1991]

he actually looks pretty cool with the beard

[@ahmadluthfimaajid1721]

I adore him when he talked about the parallel universe

[@BieberDianaa]

He's a freakin genius.

[@Vigilante311]

A talented dude, love tame impala

[@victoriavezich7914]

Why is everyone dumping on the girl? She did very well interviewing Kevin and asked some of the best questions about the live aspects of performing, honestly I've seen a lot of Tame Impala interviews and there are a lot of awkward as hell people asking uninteresting, pointless questions. This was a good one! :)

[@colsonrizzuto7973]

I love how he looks with the facial hair no homo

[@iluvskittlez723]

This is my first time hearing Kevin's speaking voice and holy shit, I was not expecting that.

[@dangray8708]

Lily Cat why are you surprised? Haha

[@Summerme233]

Haha truee, just because songs ive been listening to has different tone of voice of his

[@WeaponizeGroucho]

That record store day live Tame Impala record was probably the greatest thing i've ever on a record player so.

[@nahomisita5337]

2:57 his fingers haha

[@WondrThis]

Kevin we need another album man

[@bassplayer1617]

Give him time dude it's only been a year this shit takes a while. Especially for music as complex and layered as his

[@WondrThis]

yeah i know hah i just want to hear how the next album is going to sound like

[@bassplayer1617]

oh me too dude haha i can't wait to see what he's gonna do next

[@WondrThis]

bassplayer1617 when i talked to him, I asked him when he was going to put out a new album and he said possibly next year!

[@bassplayer1617]

That's be awesome!

[@ThePixelMelon]

Kevin I love you

[@marinaherrero246]

PixelMelon samee

[@amydavison8537]

Im in love with Kevin’s accent, and just the Australian accent in general. If you are Australian please call me and talk non stop for three hours because I will never get tired

[@coldacre]

no worries cobber, couple snags on the barbie?

[@suchasingh6694]

she did a good job on the interview

[@randihicks]

WERS 88.9 is the radio station of the college I go to. Wishing I would have graduated high school a few years earlier and wanted to study journalism so I could interview Kevin haha... actually just kidding I'd probably be a giggly, sweaty, nervous wreck!! But it's pretty cool that he did an interview with the radio station that broadcasts from my school!

[@jamesoncreek]

He looks like jesus!

[@heirkraft]

because he is jesus

[@dalurkindayz]

Creed1317 wrong he is kevin

[@BeardedSailor1]

[@jamesoncreek]

BeardedSailor1 mmmckay man

[@DragScopeDevin]

[@drncrrsc]

[@wxlfe1086]

[@XavierKelly2]

[@FargoLive2012]

[@bonitamania]

[@marysia9679]

I love how Kevin and the journalist feel so very comfortable. Very cool interview

[@EdFremor]

"Bound to happend *E V E N T U A L L Y* "

[@Didymusartist]

why is the audio only left? fucking anoying

[@babyblue7731]

At 2:50 when he says “it was very childish” his face went completely serious after that😂 literally laughing my ass off

[@sleeper.1979]

imagine kev trying to pick up girls at a bar

[@sunburststratocaster]

are you saying he could or couldn't

[@morten7177]

fight fight fight

[@oliviahamilton9209]

He definitely could heart eyes

[@lockergr]

His ksubi jeans are more like armor than pants. 😉

[@Its_Renee_]

Not anymore... 👀💍

[@Innertame01]

So damn cute😍😍🥰

[@denisepaulsenful]

He is just so effn adorable. I can't. He's like a cute pet dog you'd love to take for a walk. And he would jump up on people for a pat. ... Come to Toronto homie please!! ... The closest you're coming to me is a 6 hour drive to Montreal. Or we can go to Detroit in about 5 hours. But c'mon. We love you here!!

[@emisabella3725]

He’s coming to Toronto in July i just bought tickets

[@marysia9679]

What lol

[@carloshenrique0306]

Never really looked for any interviews with Kevin. For some reason I always expected his voice to be full falsetto :D

[@ontrack8931]

jajajaja hablaba haciendo falsete

[@bvba6gir]

I fucking love him so much

[@Brodzzzzz]

So true about that air thing... The only thing I miss when I go to Bali is the Australian Air

[@reillyfreeman9866]

Yeahhh there Aussie legends

[@Livier.yaba333]

He's a baaaabe (jay reference)

[@niki-dh4bx]

How PRECIOUS

[@janicecastillo5907]

bad interviewer he's awsome!

[@TheViolinRoom]

We're all left eared now!

[@jacklete]

This guy is hugeeeeeeeeeeee

[@jeymz361]

If you shimmy the headphone jack halfway out at juuuust the right spot, you'll be able to hear both sides. May take awhile to figure out the right placement but it works for every video with half the audio!!

[@yanettapia6512]

yooo im late but thanks for this lmaooo

[@Shorkiedokey]

Why can only hear the audio of this video with my left speaker? Btw, nice interview.

[@outlaw98765]

there was a psychedelic band back in 68 called tomorrow that reminds me of tame impala

[@majordoobage]

Damn, this comment made me happy and sad in a matter of minutes. Happy that I was reminded of the band Tomorrow / sad that I could no longer find their music in my iTunes library. Although I wouldn't necessarily compare them to Tame, They are worth a listen. Check out My White Bicycle, Revolution, and Why. I'd compare them more to The Guess Who. Most of their KZbin videos have less views than this one.

[@outlaw98765]

agreed but they are on spotify :)

[@mccormack09]

ASK HIM what the name of the first song they played at The Toff 2009 (see on youtube) and if he ever plans on releasing it? (great tune). That would be my first question to ask KP!

[@lockergr]

mccormack09 Link? I'll try and ask him when I see him soon.

[@TheBaseballAdonai]

Damn where can I get one of those cardigans?

[@JugaJuga14]

Op-Shops, man. Op-Shops.

[@ryanbonser3670]

that fucking majestic beard

[@kittervision]

Kevin's heavy scarf era

[@kabeerchoudhary1471]

'You know' Kevin umm 'you know' is just 'like' great 'you know'

[@crazyman98fmFIFA]

this helped me realize my headphones were turned THANKS SHITTY AUDIO!!

[@mandovilla6834]

Kevin sounds like john lennon but acts like paul maccartney

[@RockinEnabled]

Why the heck everything is in the left channel?

[@MekoBlu]

Kevin with the beard made me kegel... Good grief Charlie Brown.... *Crosses legs*

[@depressioncherries]

same

[@chelibile]

nice!

[@kakaldo11]

1:58 - :DD

[@Summerme233]

Dang im so jealous of his girlfriend

[@lockergr]

Stephanie Yun Wife now. 😭💍

[@Its_Renee_]

@@lockergr Yep, as of February this year! 😢💔

[@GiiGiiPapachio]

I KNEW IT! I KNEW KEVIN IS GOD!!!!!!!! Or at least my god

[@justnoahherehello]

He looks just like Jesus in this interview.

[@Casualhoe]

I was so sad because i thought my right earphone broke....

[@qq-md3si]

At first i was like: wow, he kinda looks like jesus But then i was like: wow, jesus kinda looks like him

[@Scoob505]

His hair is getting longer :_)

[@Zazo777y]

It’s good…thanks for me 😂😂😂

[@igormendonca4026]

agreeable ESTP with developed Ti

[@mcblahflooper94]

JESUS.

[@FlyingFooBalls]

For sure you should pan an interview all the way to the right. I mean this is obvious.

[@lalisamanoban8057]

Kevin needs a way better interviewer, someone who actually cares ABOUT MUSIC AND OR Tame impala's music.......... duhhhhhh

[@whiteelephantmusic6795]

That girl could chirp up a bit, but yeah, dat beard..

[@ColinTheButthead]

left ear

[@platoaristocles2862]

Jesus would you like to box?

[@fourwalls6049]

INFJ men are the best

[@Brodzzzzz]

That interviewer needs to loosen up

[@keinsmith8051]

Jesus H Christ

[@Sare787]

Oof, the beard...

[@ROLANDSONOFTHUNDER]

Ha funny, he tries to completely deny their whole sound as far as sounding like The Beatles, obviously he knows their band & The Beatles sounds extremely similar, I mean come on the dude isn't stupid I'm sure him & the rest of the band mates are infatuated with The Beatles, its completely obvious that when he was putting together Lonerism he knew it sounded similar to The Beatles. I love Tame but for him to play stupid on tame sounding like The Beatles & not trying to sound like them is a joke.

[@REDBOY95TX]

He doesn't sound like the Beatles lmfao. Idiot

[@bloodspiller0666]

jesus christ

[@louisaddeo-weiss5690]

he looks kind of sad here

[@sukimarek9407]

he looks so bored and tired.

[@1pryess]

looks like he was shy because of the girl but she is not that pretty

[@marinaherrero246]

1pryess he has a wife
