A year following the release of "Sun", which according to tireless efforts at obtaining the facts, and through careful deduction places this interview precisely in the year 2013. So that's between 01/01/2013 and 12/31/2013, a mere range of 365 days.

In fact, there may even be a date indicated in the credits somewhere, but I didn't bother to check. What I am doing, in actual fact, is trying to find out if I can still create and upload a working torrent! This interview, being in the "unimportant" section of my hard drive will serve this purpose quite well, provided anyone is interested in seeing it.

It takes place in China apparently (aka. ☭ China ☭) one of the least beloved countries on the planet. 

Ms. Marshall wants to prove otherwise.

Actually, I can never sit through an entire Chan Marshall interview and every time I walk away thinking either she's one of the most brilliant actors in history, or simply Satan.

Either way, she writes great songs (or somebody writes great songs that she sings) but that is neither here nor there and irrelevant for my purposes.

Here are the video details for the two videos I scraped and reconstructed from YouTube fragments:

--------------------------------

As you can see, the quality is quite high. And it is visually very clear HDTV range imagery (no significant compression artifacts to be noted).

The audio quality is typical for YouTube; somewhere between "shitty" and "less shitty". But in this case, that doesn't matter since it's mostly talking.

Thankfully the interviewer never revealed themselves and just let Ms. Marshall kind of drone out continuous "stream-of-consciousness" throughout the whole thing, starring and completing the entire interview by herself.

Did I mention I love her music?
