VJ Anne-Marie Withenshaw
interviewed Trent in his New Orleans home on the show
"Le cimetière des CD" on February 1st. "I was really
waiting for this since they announced it a week ago,"
said Olivier Bernard. "Even though I was really disappointed
by the way they made it, the fact is I had never heard
Trent mention any of his favorite CDs and, anyway,
I guess it won’t happen very often."
After some shots of
the "Deep" video, Trent appeared wearing black clothes,
bearded as he was seen recently. "Some parts were
hard to understand because Radiohead's music was playing
in the back," Olivier said.
Trent: Some records
that changed my life Probably ahhh Pink Foyd's The
Wall, you know, the prerequisites of music is one
step at a time [laughs], so... it influenced me. Ministry's
"Twitch" album, in its day, turned my head around.
Ahh... How many left? [laughs]
VJ: Three more.
Trent : Ahh I'll blend
it into one that I'm most listening to currently.
I think that Radiohead, "Kid A" and "Amnesiac" combo,
this one has been very influential to me lately. [shots
of Radiohead's "Idiotheque" video]
At the moment, I'm listening
to a lot of Spiritualized, that is the "Ladies and
Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" album in particuliar.
I saw them live and I was really interested in their...
[VJ cuts short]
VJ: The hown section
is just gigantic!
Trent: Yeah, it was
in a church and... it seemed very cool.
VJ : Radiohead, they're
in the same kind of situation as yours. You know,
in terms of of people saying [VJ takes a really nasty
voice] "Oh, you know, they're trying something new,
that sucks!" [Trent looks sceptical] You know, or
either people that are, you know, really into listening
"Great?". Did you have to re-examine your role as
an artist like them?
Trent: Well, I admire
those who have the guts to try something different,
especially when what they were doing wasn't failing.
You know, they were successful with what they were
doing and they have the courage to try something that
is different. I try do to the same thing with records
I do. And you always hate people that will complain
about that, as people hate change. And, I mean, I
think some artists are good at just one thing and
should just keep doing that thing. I hope that I'm
not one of them, you know, so I'm working on it. But
it does come at a price when you can't satisfy the
pessimists and the close-minded people. You didn't
do what they wanted, but you can't... you can't try
to please everyone.
[Interview ends with
shots form Radiohead's "Knives out" video]
"I still can't bare
the fact that they played only Radiohead music in
the interview," Olivier said. "I must also add that
VJ Anne-Marie Withenshaw pretty much sucks as she
said herself. However, music critic Claude Rajotte,
who hosts "Le cimetière des CD", had very good comments
about the AATCHB deluxe album and he mentionned the
fact that the album was a success in Quebec, Canada
and USA."
