To say that Siouxsie Sioux is as cool as fuck seems as unnecessary as saying that grass is green. When I first heard Cities In Dust coming out of the speakers it was strangely on a Now That’s What I Call Music compilation — it was a lonely place for a song of such quality, [...]
I got this album as part of a twofer tape that a friend did for me — the other side having Swervedriver on it. It was fucking great. There was this trip that we were on to the National Gallery in London and the whole trip had pretty much been dominated by these mind-numbingly boring [...]
Once again you find weird routes to people — where did I find Polly Jean Harvey? A Canadian Music show they used to show on Anglia television at 2 in the morning. She was sitting in the window of a shop from what I remember performing songs for Rid Of Me and answering questions from [...]
I want to come out in support of Amy Winehouse. She is rock and roll. The naysayers? A bunch of cunts — seriously, an absolute, twenty-four carat guaranteed group of chuff-boxes. From the opening track of her first album through to the closing bars of her second album you know she is the real deal [...]
Jimi, Jim, Janice, Brian Jones and Kurt Cobain — all members of the 27 club. At one point it was an idiotic belief that I’d be joining them: thank god that didn’t work out. I can sing but I don’t have the rock star chops — maybe rock star poet, to a degree. What does [...]
How big might Blind Melon have become if Shannon Hoon their frontman hadn’t died? Change group name and change singer name and it seems you have to ask this question too much.
I feel like I got in on the ground floor when I discovered them through Hoon’s presence in a couple of Gun’s ‘N ‘ [...]
You really have to fight sometimes to maintain how cool The Doors are, and that sometimes strikes me as odd. But then you have to consider that they hardly have an unsullied reputation — Morrison did as much to damage their image as he did to create it. When you can drink and do drugs [...]
From every relationship that I have ever had I have taken away something at the end of it that has become an integral part of who I am. It can be a book, a film, or some music. I got into R.E.M when Out Of Time was in the ascendancy, before Everybody Hurts became ubiquitous. [...]
I think I discovered Motherlovebone just after Andrew Wood had died. I came across them at the same time as I started getting into Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Mudhoney. It was the nineties anyway, I know that much. I’m not trying to claim any prescience in regards to the grunge sound, just trying to [...]
I used to swap mixtapes with people — or sometimes I would give them a tape with two different albums — one each side; back before CD’s led to bloated epics that laughed at the idea of being 45 minutes long. One of these tapes that I got had The Quireboys on one side [...]
