Kirin J Callinan is an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, doused in glitter and baked at 200 degrees for twenty minutes (turning over once) and so we should’ve known that our Q&A with the singer song-writer would turn out like this.
To celebrate the release of his new single The Teacher, and the upcoming tour to support it, we thought we’d get some life lessons out of the dude. Because, “Teacher”, geddit? Teaching. Lessons… look it all made sense to me anyway.
This is what we got. Check out the tour dates below this erudite and revealing Q&A session.
1. Love
No thank you.
2. Careers
No thank you.
3. Enjoying Music
Yes, always.
Listen: Olympia – Nice Things (Kirin J Callinan Remix)
4. Dressing for Spring
Not if you can help it!
5. Lyric writing
Thyme & rime.
6. Staying Sane on Tour
Nup
Watch: Mark Ronson + Kirin J Callinan – I Sat By The Ocean (JJJ Like a Version)
7. Butt Stuff
The butt is a delicate ecosystem. Like Mother Nature herself, she should be treated with dignity, care & respect. You only get out what you put in. Don’t keep bum crumbs.
8. The Economy
Sell!
9. Finding Inner Peace
This is an important one. Only you know the answer.
10. Dogs
“Man’s best friend”
11. Kirin J Callinan
Ask dumb questions get dumb answers.
