Nas Swings On The Flippety-Flop

I thought I was going to get whiplash reading this Nas Q&A in The Onion A.V. Club, in which the bulk of Nathan Rabin's queries get this sort of response: "AVC: Were you happy with how The Firm turned out? Nas: Yeah, no.

M.I.A.: Diplo didn't make it.

Pitchfork: Uh, what?

M.I.A.: He never made Arular, but you guys keep writing it.

Get Ready For The Greatest Music Interview Of All Time!

From a press release on the second season of the Sundance Channel's series Iconoclasts:
Each hour-long program features two leading innovators from different fields who come together to discuss their passions and creative processes. Participants for Season Two [include] filmmaker Quentin Tarantino and singer/songwriter Fiona Apple...

QT: Oh man, oh man. Remember that time up in Toluca Lake, when I played you those old JB's records and you started crying in the grotto? And then after that we watched that George Jones Christmas special from 1978, with Kris Kristofferson and him singing "Good Christian Soldier"?
FA: Oh, wow! Yeah! More »
