THEY didn't sound like idiots- the interviewer did, though, and so did the people who called in. The brothers told a story about a show they did in Germany in which they were almost struck by lightening. There wasn't really any question about their upbringing, only whether they came from a musical family which they didn't- what more are they supposed to say? The interviewer started the interview by asking how they "hooked up"-- um....hello? THEY'RE BROTHERS!!! What the hell kind of question is that? They mainly talked about their influences, their view on the American electronic music scene, Organic, etc. etc. Nothing earth shattering was disclosed.
