“Summertime” (2009) by Dead Prez (1996-present) & DJ Green Lantern

I just discovered an interview series called Making Music.  They have a set of videos with Alan Sparhawk from the band Low.  The few interviews I've seen so far are very different than most.  They get into the gritty details of the songwriters methods of creating songs, gear used, and much more.
