Power 97 radio interview
Permalink  

The Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada station Power 97 is apparently airing a PJ interview on Monday the 23rd at 5:00pm CST (6:00 EST, 3:00 PST)... I believe this should be a Jeff interview as I'd read about him conducting an interview with them last week that the station said wouldn't air until the 23rd. Unfortunately, I will not have any way of recording this, as I can't get it locally on radio nor do I have the appropriate software to capture the Internet stream. Hopefully, it will be put up in downloadable form. Anyhow, you can listen to the station online at www.power97.com.


By the way, Jeff also did an interview last week with the Vancouver station CFOX, but alas, I was at work and missed it entirely.


If this Winnipeg interview I'm mentioning doesn't turn out to be a chat with Jeff, my apologies, but at least we know it'll be *someone* from the band!

I tuned in all night and heard nothing!


UPDATE: Just read elsewhere that the interview might be airing tonight (May 24) instead! *Fingers crossed*

Damnit!!


They seem to have played the interview in snippets, and I essentially missed everything!!! 


I tuned in at 10 to 6:00 EST, and caught the end of a clip and just now at 10 teo 7:00 my time, they played what the DJ called "Segment 3 of 3", which consisted of Jeff talking about the new record ("halfway or two-thirds of the way done", more up-tempo stuff and more collaboration), how PJ decides on pricing for their tickets (looking at what their peers are charging and how much it's gonna cost to tour, and setting prices as low as possible) and then discussing how they keep their prices low (working with a smaller crew in which each person does more than on a typical tour setup, and in turn, taking less of a "piece of the pie" themselves and giving a lot of money away to charity). The interview then wrapped up with Jeff and the interviewer looking ahead to the Winnipeg show in September, with Jeff joking that "hopefully the mosquitos will be gone by then" (I assume picking up on some earlier joke I must've missed) and the interviewer assuring him they'd "fumigate the entire town", to much laughter.


Why couldn't they have just played the interview in full like I'd heard they were going to??!! Would that have been so difficult??!!!
