I don't believe that recordings should sound radically better than the artist, I think that's dishonest. For example, I'm not a great singer but if I spent enough time tweaking my vocals, I could sound like one. But I don't, what you hear is pretty much what I sing.
We, the artists, make the stuff they sell and they're like ticks on our backs, sucking the life out of us.
On some songs you're hearing the vocal as I improvised it (as in 'Function Of The Orgasm') so you may hear me stumble.
Music is more emotional than prose, more revolutionary than poetry. I'm not saying I've got the answers, just a of questions that I don't hear other artists asking.
I think I am a star - I'm simply a funny-shaped star.
The Americans are more honest about it and just call it college rock.
I will never sign to a major record label again. If, by some mega fluke, a record of mine looked like it might break big, I'd try and do it via an indie or somehow license it. I'm not having my music owned by those corporate bastards again.
I hated my brief fame. We had TV vans camped outside my house, reporters hounded me... people i'd know for years started treating me differently.
I like 'Bewitched' off the first album because it's one of the happiest songs I've ever written and, as any writer will tell you, happy songs are a million times more difficult to write than sad songs.
I like being 35, I like having a bit of money to spend on music and useless gadgets. The net is providing new ways to communicate and cooperate that just didn't exist in the 80s.
I now believe that major labels can only work with people who care more about fame and money than the quality of the art they produce.
It's there for everybody to see on this rally. Marcus has won the way he wants to win and for the team, we were leading from SS1.
It's like someone cutting up a loved one in front of you, all the time insisting they've got your best interests at heart. They're very devious nowadays.
It should be in normal shops. Failing that, I'm sure one of the Amazon webshops will have it, if you try the different countries.
