There's this Kills interview I saw a while ago and then lost, and I've been trying to find it again to show ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alliean for ages. And I finally found it today!
This is the link. the Kills part starts at about 8:00 for their performance of 'Cheap and Cheerful', and then the interview is at about 10:50.
IT'S REALLY QUITE AWKWARD. Foreign interviews often are, and the dude keeps translating things back and forth, and he also asks some pretty bold questions. And I kind of hate that, because I don't like seeing them get uncomfortable, but at the same time...the reactions are so interesting. First of all I love how embarrassed Alison gets when he tells her Brian Molko said he got hard listening to her voice. And how she just kinda hides in Jamie's shoulder and behind her hair. I THINK SHE'S BLUSHING. So cute.
But the real point of posting this is that I kept referencing the moment where they're asked if they're a couple. Jamie laughs when the guy says "but you're not a couple, you're not in love?" and then realises no one else is laughing, and apologises. And Alison says "What's so funny about that?" and the guy agrees, saying "What's so funny? It's possible!" Jamie says "It's a ridiculous idea," and then immediately follows that with a ridiculously loving look at Alison. OH JAMIE. SO IN DENIAL.
Mainly I just love that Alison questions him, even though she does it in a kinda jokey way. It's like - they never discuss this in their day-to-day life. They're only confronted with how weird their relationship seems when other people comment on it. And that's like...the only chance for Alison to see how Jamie reacts to the idea, and vice versa. It's so interesting, because to us, their sexual tension is so obvious and the love they have is so intense, that making the mistake of thinking they're a couple is completely understandable. But from where they're sitting, it's apparently a surprise, and strange. Funny and ridiculous, even.
Though I think it's denial, to a certain extent. I think Jamie's genuinely afraid to let himself go down that route, to really think about it. Because their relationship works, as it is, and maybe they think that if they do anything to change it they risk losing each other. And I just can't believe they're THAT oblivious to the way they are onstage together. Like, I know Jamie says "I've never seen us play, so..." but then there are things like this:
Which kinda prove that he's at least somewhat aware. But ha, I love how Alison's signature is so bold and confident and Jamie's is this hasty scribble in the corner. And that he seems to have forgotten to use 'Hotel'.
Okay, I've started analysing handwriting, it's time to end this post now.
