DEVENDRA BANHART, WALILLAMDZI from DAVID BLACK on Vimeo.

I went at got a little Devendra crush. Especially after his interview on Pitchfork.

seriously:

DB: Well, aren't you sweet. See, there are four stages to matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. I'm just one big sack of gas these days. I'm sorry, we're really veering off the subject-- another attribute of old age! I'm not a hippie; I'm not even me. But I'm contradicting myself by saying "I'm not a hippie" and then saying hippie shit like, "I'm not even me." What's going on? Who am I? Can I be K.D. Lang for the day?

Pitchfork: Yes.

DB: Thank you.
