Ever since the release of her first novel, The First Bad Man, there seems to be an abundance of interviews with the wondrous and wonderful Miranda July, and that is fine by us (but we were there first…). I don’t think I’ll ever tire of reading a conversation with her, such is her unique charme. Over at The Believer, meanwhile, is a fine specimen of Miranda Julyisms.

He shares some thoughts on the matter in this not so recent anymore interview with Matthew McConaughey (who coincidentally owes his first film role to Linklater) in Interview.

For instance, H.P. Baxxter of German Dada techno embarrassment Scooter talking to painter Albert Oehlen, well, you can’t really argue with that, can you?
