00:00I don't know if you've heard this meme about the Tame Impala, like, oh, it's one guy.
00:07We're here with Kevin Parker, also known as Tame Impala.
00:11Do you think in another universe there will be like a boy band with, I don't know, three, four, five Kevin Parkers?
00:17Would you like that?
00:19That's so crazy you said that.
00:21I'm not at liberties to tell you why that's crazy you said that, but time will.
00:26When does this interview come out?
00:27Yeah, no, this will be, this moment will be funny in a few weeks time.
00:33Do you believe in boy band cliches?
00:35Like there's a bad guy, the nerdy guy.
00:37Oh, sure.
00:37You got to have the characters, right?
00:39Yeah.
00:39Yeah.
00:40That's the, that's the magic of the boy band.
00:42Yeah.
00:42Everyone has their own favorite.
00:44Okay.
00:44It's like the Ninja Turtles, you know?
00:45Okay.
00:46Like the Ninja Turtles.
00:47Yeah.
00:47They were like the first boy band.
00:52And maybe that's why boy bands are so lovable.
00:56It's because at like, at different times you feel like the different one.
01:00You feel like the moody one.
01:01Sometimes you feel like the funny one.
01:03Sometimes you feel like the hot one.
01:05Do you feel like you have like a distorted version of Kevin Parker in Kevin Parker?
01:10Yeah.
01:11But I think you need to.
01:12I think you need to.
01:13Yeah.
01:14If people only ever got like sort of regular Kevin, they would get bored, you know?
01:19Why?
01:21Well, you know, you've, you've, you've got to, you've got to be, you've got to be the best
01:24and most interesting version of yourself.
01:26I think like subconsciously, um, I'm probably trying to like fix myself.
01:32Okay.
01:32You know, some people deal with things by talking about them and some people have other ways
01:38of dealing with them.
01:39I'm like, yeah, I'm part of the second category.
01:42You know, I use music to deal with things that have sort of irritated me from the past.
01:47It's, it's always too honest, but you've just got it.
01:49You just got to grab, you got to, you got to, you got to grab the bull by the horns.
01:54You got to face the music, literally.
01:56I also know that experimentation is a big part of your creative process.
02:00But do you think perfection is possible?
02:03I think perfection, um, would be at the end of the day, really boring.
02:08One of the most exciting and things that we love about music is that it's human and human
02:14stuff is imperfect.
02:15That's kind of why I'm not really afraid of the whole AI thing is because like, we will
02:20always love things that are a bit shitty.
02:22I hope we're at a point in, um, the journey of analog and digital that we will, we can all
02:28finally agree that there's like, that neither is better.
02:31You know, there's no, there's nothing as, as like digital is better than analog or whatever.
02:36Whatever brings out the best in you.
02:38Okay.
02:39You know what I mean?
02:39Yeah.
02:40Trying to find a way to include the word process into this, but it's all about process to me.
02:45Yeah.
02:45If you could talk to you and your year would have like a reunion and we'd say, you know,
02:50that's the fight of Kevin Parker.
02:52Yeah.
02:53Like Toy Story.
02:54They would tell me to stop spending so much time on my computer.
02:59I'd be like, well, I like him.
03:00You need to, you need to use us more.
