The earnest, honest, and thoughtful Paul Banks of Interpol joins Yasi mid-tour from an undisclosed location (Dallas) to discuss the usual: astrology, the RZA, destiny, fatherhood, Billy Corgan’s outfits, awkward encounters with Jay-Z, and more. Oh, and it turns out “Indie Sleaze” is a pretty succinct name after all.
