The Walkmen, Awkwardly Interviewed By Fox 5 There's also a performance of "On The Water," and despite how much we love You & Me, it's the awesomely awkward banter that's worth the click. Also it's a nice guide of things not to try and small talk about with Ham: inspiration, buses, Paul Shaffer, anything at all. Watch it at Fox 5.

I love the Walkmen but geez, what a douchebag. Of course you're gonna get asked retarded questions, you're on a cheesy morning show! If the questions are so hard to answer, dont agree to do the appearance

ismelltooloud - Wait...so, not having a witty response for dumbass questions makes you a douchebag now? That's just looking for reasons to be critical of someone.
