"If I made it I'd be happy" Such true words. Bradford is such a smart profound musician. I wish I could pick his brain all day long! Recently Deerhunter had a show at an arts center near me earlier this year. Afterwards he talked about how to make artistic music and I'm so sad I missed that show.
John Norris looks like my dad...Minus the blond highlights. I haven't watch MTV in about 15 years so I'm surprised he is even still there. Great interview with a great artist.
My boyfriend has it and it worked out in his favor (as far as appearance) because I love his height and angular features. Everyone assumes he's just very tall but he does get rude comments about his thin frame.
apparently i'm the only person who likes john norris. i mean, he actually listens to the people he interviews, he doesn't ask generic questions. idk to each his own.
a lot of people here calling john norris various things. anyone care to explain why? he did a good job of the interview and you can tell he's genuinely into deerhunter....
I remember hearing him interviewed for the first time on Sirius XMU and thinking how inarticulate he was, and how he must be some kind of stoner idiot-savant. But having listened more, to both his interviews and to his music, I have to say he's really a very interesting guy with a lot to say. A much greater thinker than I was originally ready to credit him.
why don't people like him feature on tv more often. people like bradford would make a huge difference to so many peoples lives if they were exposed to the mainstream.
Compared to the rest of the brickheads he works with, Norris is a good guy. You know, MTV actually produces an insightful, thoughful interview such as this one instead of it's usual Eminem/Lady GaGa/Kanye West soundbite drivel, and yet they STILL get ripped...makes one think that people "hate" MTV because it's the thing to do, not due to any rational reasoning...no?
hipster/alternative kids like to be different, so they hate what normal people like, irrationaly, just because. That includes the MTV. John Norris is in mtv so therefore hereafter: they hate john norris i don't like mtv much, but john norris is good.
I remember the first time I saw Deerhunter after a friend's band was one of the 3 or 4 opening bands at Lenny's that night; some time around 03 or 04..I asked some guy who the headliner was-he said Deerhunter; I say "what are they like"; dude says they are a noise band.It was really what you came to expect from the Lenny's scene; just raw art and punk. some were terrible and some were great(Deerhunter).I'm real happy for them but it gets a bit annoying when people keep trying to categorize them.
I used to hang out with this guy in Marietta Georgia. I'm so glad he made something of himself. Who knew!!?
Bradford is amazing, Deerhunter is one of the best bands of the 2000s, even up until now.

He has such an incredible face. It's like a piece of art.
This guy is so interesting to listen to
I want to give Bradford a piggy back ride.
this made me laugh way too hard
Dalton Swayze first time I’ve laughed at a CZcams comment, cheers
I just love this interview. Norris did a great job. I adore Bradford!!!!!!
Man, Bradford sounds like he's got a really bad cold. Awesome that he still did the interview.
This is a really interesting video. A lot of intelligent conversation in here.
i totally forgot about deerhunter and I was obsessed with them in college which is now 8 years ago...god damn I feel old
i used to have a huge crush on john norris when i was 6 ten years later still do
John Norris looks like my dad...Minus the blond highlights. I haven't watch MTV in about 15 years so I'm surprised he is even still there. Great interview with a great artist.
john norris is a great interviewer.
Hearing what he said makes me like him and Deerhunter so much more.
i wish we were friends so bad...
bradford cox is so inspiring
recent bedroom is a such an amazing song..
John Norris is pretty coo for that intro
john norris looks like Greg Saunier from deerhoof
My boyfriend has it and it worked out in his favor (as far as appearance) because I love his height and angular features. Everyone assumes he's just very tall but he does get rude comments about his thin frame.
He knows what the fuck is up.
Bradford Cox, you don't look so good. Stay alive, man... this world needs your indelible talent!
memorable guy, on many levels
Bradford is such a kickass individual
"I could make music in my room" YES, YES YOU COULD, BRADFORD.
Hes right about demos. The industry doesnt want us to hear the treasure trove of demos through history.
funny he used to do vinyl for signs, im a sign maker!
lol... "if i made it i'd be happy"... he contradicts himself in a way.. I like it :)
apparently i'm the only person who likes john norris. i mean, he actually listens to the people he interviews, he doesn't ask generic questions. idk to each his own.

John Norris is all over the place in NYC.
if only everyone in the music industry were like bradford....
this guy is great

Aw, Bradford seems so nice. I wish I knew him in person, although I'm fb friends with him! O_O
If it's an issue about his appearane then they're obviously not listening to the music he produces. it's gold
why don't people like him feature on tv more often. people like bradford would make a huge difference to so many peoples lives if they were exposed to the mainstream.
"Recent Bedroom" by Atlas Sound
I wanna hangout with Bradford
Yeah, they are pretty intense.
HE CAN HOLD THE ENTIRE MOON
IN ONLY ONE HAND
he is f'nnn awesome :)
hahaha, I wont even bother explaining.

idk but it seems like he does. its usually really obvious when an interviewer doesn't listen to the band/person they're interviewing. no hate.
Sooooooooooo high in this video
Brad is like if Freddie Mercury had a son....literally.
what song is playing in the beginning???
Recent bedroom by Atlas Sound
does anyone know the Deerhunter song at the beginning? please let me know
@Thurbane316 care to explain your oppion considering that you took the time to write a negative comment on a video that for some reason you watched?
like deerhunter, like bradford
but those 90s comments seem like a shot at weezer i.e. emo,nostalgia
@WhaleRider86 dude i totally agree. deerhunter is a fucking awesome band. you shouldnt make fun of people because of what they look like
What's the name of the song at the end of this video?
@iminok I also have Marfan's and am also very musically inclined, it comes very natural to me. how about You?
hipster/alternative kids like to be different, so they hate what normal people like, irrationaly, just because. That includes the MTV. John Norris is in mtv so therefore hereafter: they hate john norris
i don't like mtv much, but john norris is good.
how do you know he "actually listens to the people he interviews"?
oh yeah. you dont
he is muscular
George Strombo from The Hour is a better interviewer, but yeah. Most Americans have no clue who he is.
Toolshed...
I remember the first time I saw Deerhunter after a friend's band was one of the 3 or 4 opening bands at Lenny's that night; some time around 03 or 04..I asked some guy who the headliner was-he said Deerhunter; I say "what are they like"; dude says they are a noise band.It was really what you came to expect from the Lenny's scene; just raw art and punk. some were terrible and some were great(Deerhunter).I'm real happy for them but it gets a bit annoying when people keep trying to categorize them.
its really a shame that the majority of these comments have nothing to do with the content of this video. pretty pathetic if you ask me.
weezer? really?
@yoKevinyoo 28
How about that terrible attempt at ollying of a curb @ 0:17 ?
@tomMIKOS MTV was never cool.
What if he got HIV from a needle?
It's a result of his genetic disorder. You have to admit he's stunningly brilliant though.
John Norris, you are too old for MTV.
