Continuing the theme, I found this interview with Jim James in Amsterdam in 2008. I'd never seen it before, so I imagine many of you haven't either.
There's an uncomfortable reference to Faith No More in the midst of some indecipherable- what is it? Dutch? Then, Jim gets a bit apologetic about Evil Urges, encouraging people to give it a few spins if it doesn't grow on them right away. He seems to be acknowledging that many found it a bit of a departure, yet he's right. EU gets better each time I listen to it. Seeing it full live at T5 was a blessing.
Jim then moves abruptly into religion, growing up Catholic, and shares a part of himself I'd never heard. Its quite moving, though I actually only heard it, using wireless headphones while I grabbed a smoke outside. I love the two comments on the You Tube page.
"What is he holding?"
"Oh my god, he looks so fucking awesome[ch65279]!" (Penny, is that you?)
Enjoy.

This is the first interview i Ever saw by yimmy and the part about religion I like a lot
awesome.. what a coincidence, i just watched that one today!
Usually he is more articulate - he seemed distracted. And what was up with the constant gesticulating? I would probably do the opposite of johnnYYac - I would put it on mute and just stare cause yes, he did look very good. So despite my criticisms, yes, I enjoyed it very much. ;)
