{{Interviewer|Geeko|Would the song Natalie Portman be different in any way if you had written it in this post-Episode I period?}} | {{Interviewer|Geeko|Would the song Natalie Portman be different in any way if you had written it in this post-Episode I period?}} | ||
{{Interviewee/general|Ozma|I can't think of any way the music would have been altered, but the lyrics would definitely have made accomodations for the current situation. I might have included some Star Wars references (Jake Lloyd, the lucky bastard). I would hate to have the song passed of as being sung by a starstruck teenage male fantasizing about Queen Amidala, though. Her newfound fame has actually sort of turned me off, everyone I know who listens to our song for the first time now just says "I see, you're another fool with a crush on that Star Wars actress." Originally I was impressed with her intelligence and kindness, not with her casting in the most ambitious saga ever taken on by a moviemaker.}} | {{Interviewee/general|Ozma|I can't think of any way the music would have been altered, but the lyrics would definitely have made accomodations for the current situation.

{{Interviewer|Geeko|Do you see the comparatively timid sales of Pinkerton and The Proximity Effect (=w= and Nada Surf) as a sign of lack of interest for power pop bands?}} | {{Interviewer|Geeko|Do you see the comparatively timid sales of Pinkerton and The Proximity Effect (<nowiki>=w=</nowiki> and Nada Surf) as a sign of lack of interest for power pop bands?}} | ||
{{Interviewee/general|Ozma|Proximity Effect hasn't actually been released in the States yet, but it's very possible that Nada Surf's label problems have been spurred by a disinterest in our type of music lately. I think Pinkerton was a flop because it was more adult that Weezer's first record, and maybe a little bit over the heads of those in its main demographic; that was really the year Marilyn Manson broke... music listeners were too busy making an unoriginal shock-rocker a mainstream name to see that a truly epic, poignant piece of music had just been released by a band they had been giddy about just months earlier}} | {{Interviewee/general|Ozma|Proximity Effect hasn't actually been released in the States yet, but it's very possible that Nada Surf's label problems have been spurred by a disinterest in our type of music lately.
