Shannon and I visited Austin last week to go to the Fun Fun Fun Fest with our friends Paige, Kevin, Michael, and Chris.

Destroyer (Dan Bejar) headlined the “Yellow” stage on the first night of the festival. He performed unaccompanied—singing and playing an acoustic guitar while hospital helicopters flew overhead. I interviewed him after the set:

What is your favorite Destroyer song?

Bejar: I’m fond of “Certain Things You Ought to Know”

What is your favorite city?

Bejar: …Lisbon is an amazing city.


Big thanks to Paige for getting us into the fest.

Listen to “Certain Things You Ought to Know.”

    Way to dig down and ask the tough questions. Intense interview, Jed.
