Music Devendra Banhart: "I'm a Twat"

Posted by Mike Conklin on Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 3:55 PM

There's a new Devendra Banhart record out tomorrow. It's called What Will Be, and... real talk? I didn't know it existed until I believe last Friday. So I'm still letting it sink in, but so far, it sounds like, you know, a Devendra Banhart record. He was interviewed recently by New York Magazine's Vulture blog, about a whole bunch of stuff: weirdly secretive, possibly weed-growing communities in Northern California, obscure languages that only have 20 words, Hugo Chavez, and, of course, Twitter! And Natalie Portman!

A lot of musicians use Twitter nowadays. Why don’t you?
Just because I’m a twat doesn’t mean I can do it. I don’t know. I guess I don’t want everyone to know what I’m doing every second.

You dated Natalie Portman for a spell. Are you guys still on good terms?
Very good terms. She’s one of my best friends. I love her super-much. Super-much.

You know, if this dude would just come around, I feel like we could get, like, Tracy Morgan-caliber tweeting out of him.

No, really, he's good. Look at all these photos of his paintings that he tweeted.
