radiohead's ed o'brien, for example.

What would you ask Ed?

Who are you?

-- We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (dadaismu...), December 15th, 2005 6:56 AM.

the guy that gets stuck doing these things while the rest of the band gets laid!

do you mean a designated driver ?

But in most bands there's usually some dick with an inflated ego (the singer for the most part) who will insist on doing every interview - how many times does Bono step aside and let Larry Mullen handle the press?

My mind boggles at the idea of Ed being the only member of Radiohead who wouldn't get laid.

reminds me of "As usual, the only former-Beatle available for comment was Ringo Starr..."

Peter Buck, of course, is my favorite specimen. Remember when all REM interviews/liner notes were his?

I hate it when it's the drummer!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 15 December 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

it'd be awesome if charlie watts was the only rolling stone who ever gave interviews

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Thursday, 15 December 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

I believe that Ed O'Brien and Peter Buck are chums. Perhaps they like to swap notes about being the designated interview bitch.

If you define "bitch" in the best possible way, Ricki Rocket from Poison... best drummer/spokesman for a band ever.

..and it would have been great to hear more from Stewart Copeland's mouth than Sting's.

how many times does Bono step aside and let Larry Mullen handle the press?

how many times does a reporter call u2's publicist and request an interview with larry?

Anyway, the winner here is julie cafritz from pussy galore... based on the interview snippet on Corpse Love.

as far as i recall, kevin richardson always did the press for backstreet boys. is that the kind of thing you're interested in?

I am reading EVERY article from that Milwaulkee website.
