That was the roughest interview I've done so far. Iko (pronounced eee-koh, not eye-co like iko iko). As y'all know, I've been a fan of his from the very beginning (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=2121)
The interview was a phoner - a half hour call to Jakarta. The connection was rough plus I had to do it off my iPhone, which meant I had to record it off speaker because a phone-jack doesn't work with iPhones and you have to have a special app to record calls which I didn't bother to download. Iko's English is okay but limited so he had a friend help him translate, but his English wasn't much better. They would trail off into Indonesian, and with the choppy connection, it was tricky to tell sometimes. He said some Indonesian words and names that I couldn't even make out. On top of that, I was off in my interviewing - I wrote out a bunch of questions ahead of time, but I couldn't keep myself concise - I'm blaming this heat wave.
This is going to be a bitch to transcribe.
Fortunately, there's enough of a story to Iko that I think I can manage the article easily enough. I just needed a few pull quotes to give it some specialness. Netflix says they will get me some screeners of the show.
Sorry Maestro. I could not score Hammer Girl's digits off Iko. I barely got the pull quotes I needed.
