Bobby Long Mentions Robert Pattinson In An Interview With Limelife



The singer/songwriter talks sudden stardom, American girls and the dangers of being friends with Robert Pattinson.

Did you think Robert Pattinson was the only cute Brit who shies away from interviews? Last week in New York we caught up with singer/songwriter Bobby Long, a Twilight soundtrack crooner, longtime friend of Robert Pattinson and member of the ever-higher-profile "Brit Pack" that also includes actors/musicians/longtime Pattinson mates Tom Sturridge, Sam Bradley and Marcus Foster. Bobby Long is preparing to release his first studio album this summer, and if it's anything like he says it is, then you want to start downloading Bobby Long now.

Bobby Long's "Let Me Sign" for Twilight and "Who Have You Been Loving?" from his first album Dirty Pond Songs have put him on the map in mainstream music and in front of, yep, gaggles of female audiences who are screaming to ride the British boy bandwagon. In the basement of New York's famed Mercury Lounge, we thought Bobby Long couldn't get any more candid...until he climbed onstage.

LimeLife: I know you're good friends with Robert Pattinson, and two weeks ago he was jokingly shouting your name for Marcus Foster to play some Bobby Long.

Bobby Long: The funniest thing about that right, is just that...it's just a few mates joking around. All that was is just Rob enjoying himself at his mate's show, right. Like, before my show, a mutual friend will shout out, "Play a Marcus Foster song" or "Play a Sam Bradley song" or something...like, "Play a song by Cher."

(More laughter erupts around the Mercury Lounge basement.)

Bobby Long: It's just winding each other up. It's just a friendly thing. And then Rob's getting criticized for it.

LimeLife: I don't think it was criticism. It was just a fun story when we reported on it.

Bobby Long: But the comments on it! He hasn't been criticized by the media, but criticized by people. I read [one comment], it said, "He's a bastard." It's just like, "Oh, f*ck off." That kind of stuff is funny. I just laugh. It's something to show your nan, that's all it is, then you get back to your day job. It's just funny that someone reports that and sends it off, that someone spent 15 minutes of their life reporting it.

These are only the parts where he talks about Rob. You can read the full interview here and here
Thanks to MiraTL for the tip

I absolutely adore Bobby! He is an incredible musician and I can't wait for his album to come out.

AP said...

"Oh, fuck off." Luv it.

keely said...

Saw him a few month ago, he was incredible shy and funny at the same time. Kept talking about the stuff his little nephew did to him. He seems very down to earth and sang some great music for us :-)

Acconati said...

I had the funniest dream that Bobby was in the other night. Can't remember all the details but it was Something About Mary-esque, cos he was there...jizz on his face...LMAO. I actually can't look at him now without that image and much sniggering.

However I am a huge fan and can't wait for his new album!! I would LOVE to see him live, but I don't see him ever coming to Scotland and I very rarely venture south of the border lol

Cheeky Chops said...

Bobby is totally SQUEE worthy now..LOL

solas said...

I was there at the Mercury Lounge!! Bobby is adorable indeed, and I just love his music.
He also seems to have elf ears like Rob, and I am now wondering if the rest of the Brit pack does as well; are they beyond the natural world?

solas said...

Keely, he IS shy, in a humble way, yet so personable! Throughout the performance, he gives little stories or remarks, and seems to half embarrass/half smirk with confidence at himself! He is so delightful!

OMG what a hoot it would be to hang out with Marcus, Bobby, Sam, Johnny & uh, Rob....

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

Solas,
I think they were all cut from the same cloth...seriously....

LTavares2011 said...

what I love most in Bobby, Sam, Marcus and Tom is that they are so protective with Rob. It is so hard, nowadays, finding friends like they are: good sense of humour, discreet and always taking care about each other.

I love you Rob and the Brit Pack!!!!

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

going to see Tyler Keats Hawkins in 2 hrs!!!!!

shufflebin said...

Vangie said...

shufflebin said...

rpattzgirl

AP said...

@Evangeline: Tom is hosting the Lyric Lounge at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith. Marcus is playing. Then he heads to NYC to promote his film "Waiting for Forever." I guess that's doing 'something'...

solas said...

rpg--could it be they are not mere humans after all?

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

evangeline,
Tom just finished Waiting For Forever, and is getting ready to start Maestro....he's keeping busy..

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

Solas,

rather-- 'showing your nan' is showing something to your grandmother, as in , something sweet and innocuous to share a laugh over.

Hi Fifty! :) I'm fine, just dying to see RM again! You?

Marna said...

OT, I just got back from buying the Borders (my 3rd) version of New Moon. It's not my fault, Borders gave me a 40% off coupon, & it was on sale & the took the 40%off the original price. They are obviously pushers, & I'm just a poor addict that can't help themselves because it's a disease. Or I have no self control. One of those.

One thing I thought was weird was that the extras were only on the regular version of the dvd. The Blu-Ray only had the standard extras. That really sucks. Luckily for me, the 1st 2 versions I bought were both Blu-Ray, but if this was the only version I bought, I would be really pissed off if I had to chose if I wanted Blu-Ray or the extras.

Anonymous said...

Well I've never seen a pic of Bobby Long before or heard his music, but this was a nice interiview. I wonder why some people would criticize Robert for being playful at Bobby's show? By the way the story about Robert is very cute.

I just have one question, I thought "Let Me Sign" was Robert's song, so why are they saying here that it's Bobby's song? I'm confused.

DJ_ said...

Becuz Bobby and Marcus wrote the song.

Fae007 said...

DJ
Hahaha frajer se pripa!!!!! Pa znas oni se boje vise od nas! ;)

Ana73 said...

MOTU just updated!!!

DJ_ said...

Laku noc DJ! :)

wensdazzled by ThePretty said...

great he has such good friends--love bobby long's voice

Capitu Santiago said...

Ana73 ~

GAH! MOTU is too long!

I think I'm getting a little addicted to fanfic ~ which can be good for my marriage, but not so sure about my work.

I'm beginning to read The Univ.of Ed.Masen ~ I'm a few chapters in it. The man is hot, but seems to be a little perv (?)... The photographs on the wall were weird... hum... I don't know.

Anyway, I married my 'Professor' and, in some ways, I'm totally identifying myself in the story...

=)

Marna said...

Capitu, if you think MOTU is too long, you should check out Emancipation Proclamation, I don't think that story is EVER going to end, she just keeps writing, & writing, & writing.

jmm4832 said...

I've never heard Bobby Long or Marcus Foster or seen Tom's films. I can't wait to get caught up on this. I think as long as Rob surrounds himself with this Brit pack that he will be okay with all the fame.

Capitu Santiago said...

Marna ~

Thanks. But I won't, if it's endless. It would get on my nerves...
=)

Fiftyshadesofpink said...

MotU could never be too long! It's a "slow burn" and I love Icy for that! Love EP too, though have not been as addicted to that as I have to MotU.
Look forward to updates so much, it's enough to make me leave here only temporarily of course).
FF is taking over my spare time to a ridiculous degree, really have to start weaning myself off it before I face divorce/unemployment/whatever...

Fiftyshadesofpink said...

Oh, and love Edward Wallbanger too, for the light relief!

AP said...

@jmm: Do see Tom in "Pirate Radio" aka "The Boat That Rocks" if you can. Already released on dvd in the UK. Great soundtrack.

@rpg: "Maestro," which IMDB says is in pre-production, is on hold at the moment....

Marna said...

Capitu, sorry I wasn't clear, that was a WARNING not a recommendation LOL. It ABSOLUTELY is driving me crazy, but I feel like I have too much invested in it to stop. Plus, she's turned Edward into a complete idiot, so it's like chalk on a blackboard to me now. MOTU has a lot of chapters, but I don't feel like it's a chore to read.

Vangie said...

just saw an article of ROB AND TOM tom is host some gig marcus foster also so i guest tom has a job

AP said...

@Evangeline: I think I told you Tom was at the Lyric, but I guess you didn't bother reading my reply. Ah, well...lol

Not surprising his friend showed...;)

Ana73 said...

capitu - FF is very addicting. MOTU is great and it continues and continues, love it :)

my husband loves that i read it too, he always asks have you read anything new LOL, i know why he is hinting about ;)

E-P is long too but it is such a good story alot of angst and suspense but i could see it ending soon. i really dont see MOTU ending anytime soon.

Ana73 said...

oh and i just got done listening to johnny flynn, he is really good, if you haven't heard him you should really give him a chance.

AP said...

@Anya: Johnny's great, and I'm glad he was at the Lyric too.

So many FF references..but am in the dark as I no time to read it - too many other things waiting to be read for life/work. A lot going over my head as a result...lol

AP said...

Er...should be 'have' no time to read it. Obviously no time to type either...

Capitu Santiago said...

Marna ~
I got that it was a warning. Thanks again.

Ana and Fifty ~
I always thought that there MUST be something about MotU, to have so many girls coming here (every week) and writing 'MotU updated'~ even it being sooooo long.
Maybe I'll read it, one day.
I have a kind of a fanfic waiting list.
And, even having fun reading fanfic, I do not need a new addiction right now...
Oh my Robsession is already taking so much of my free (and non-free) time... GAH!
And, Ana, hum... my husband is noticing 'something in the air', too.
°winking°

Have a wonderful weekend, Ladies.
Muah! =)

Ana73 said...

AP - Yeah i hear you but somehow i find time for robsessing and FF, mostly at night when i put my son down for the night and my husband works nights too.

ok i am sort of lost...what is the lyric???

capitu - i think all of us have that list and just gets longer and longer LOL. and i completely understand your wink...have a great weekend too.

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

Cute sleepy photo of Rob tonight at the Lyric..

http://robpattinson.blogspot.com/2010/03/rob-at-lyric-lounge-march26.html

Ana73 said...

thank you RPG for posting that and now i know what the lyric is :))

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

You're welcome Ana!

AP said...

@Anya: ah, must help to have the house to yourself to concentrate on Rob, and reading. ;) I have to do bits here and there, and tend to visit the blog when I have time.

The Lyric is a theatre in Hammersmith, England. Tom did a play there earlier called "Punk Rock" - did very well. He and a fellow cast member were back to host the "Lounge" which is a club-style event with comedy, poetry, music etc. - combo of different acts.

AP said...

@Ana: sorry - misspelled yr name. I see your question got answered so I'll be off. Nite. :)

Ana73 said...

AP - are you in england???

Vangie said...

ok AP I DID READ YOUR REPLY JUST HAD MY EYE IN A BOOK SO I DID NOT REPLY BECAUSE I SORT OF JUDGE TOM BUT I DID READ YOUR REPLY ALSO I AM SO PISS AT THESE PEOPLE WHO ONLY REPORTING OF ROB EVERY STEP HE HAD A BEER BECK;S BRAND IF HE SMOKED IT'S SO STUPID BUT AP HOMBLE APOLOGISE I AM SO HAPPY THAT PEOPLE REPLY TO MY WRITING READING WWE ALMOST FINISH

Rather Not said...

@solas - thanks.

Shani said...

I'm late on this but read it earlier today. Love Love Bobby. But I'm going to play like I didn't hear him say he has a gf. Trolololololo....LOL

HeneciaD said...

omg so funny
@fae remember what we talk judging people thats what I mean lol

Susanne said...

London is soo much better for him then LA. I really hope he´s not moving!

AP said...

@Evangeline: Doesn’t matter – no apology needed. I often miss replies and catch up days later, so not one to talk. :) Just wanted to let you know I had read and replied to your question. Sometimes try to share info if I have it, bar spoiling, but its soon posted anyway, so redundant. I am learning, if slowly, mine's unnecessary. lol
