I think meeting him before the LB era would have been awesome. Now I just worry it would be a disappointment. I feel like he’d very politely give me the cold shoulder unless there was a really compelling reason to chat.

who is he? does his opinion dark matter?
Matt Pinfield hosted a late night music video program in the '90's called 120 Minutes, which played a lot of videos that were too niche to be played during more primetime hours. A lot of bands like Wilco, Pavement, etc., I heard about for the first time on Pinfield's show in the mid-'90's. Not sure what he's been up to since but he always seemed like a pretty knowledgeable guy.

He did an interview for Prato's Lanegan book, which I'm currently reading and hadn't heard his name in ages. He hit the skids for a bit but seems to have kept pretty busy since the mid-2000s.
It’s probably just as simple as they were proud of Gigaton and didn’t really get a chance to promote it. But if that was the case, it could have come out last year.
