The goal is to always feel that you’ve made your best album to date. If I thought the best was behind me, what would be the point ? Once the record is done and the initial excitement has worn off, you can then objectively stack it up against the rest. Right now I think the best album I’ve done is the new Bad Luck Jonathan record, and that’s how it should be because it’s the newest.
The only thing that really matters now is loving it and getting off on the opportunity to keep playing. As far as goals, it’s mainly about to getting to play places I’ve never been – you know, Peru n’shit.
Cherish every hair as if it were your last.
Romania will always win out on that one. Loved the T&C shows, in fact anywhere in Kentish Town. As far as the U.S. the Warfield in San Francisco stands out. Bill Graham shook my hand as I came off stage, so I’ll take that as a hell of an endorsement.

2002 Houston, I don’t recall the name, but if you were looking to film some adult entertainment, it would be the perfect locale. Right next to a flyover in a remarkably run down part of town, with fifteen foot concrete walls topped with razor wire. The rooms were lit entirely with black light and there was unlimited porn on the T.V. Most interesting backstage would have to be all the toilets we shared with the Shamen on our first tour. Made more interesting by their buxom percussionist’s confidence in her body.
Who am I ? is the question I ask myself whilst wondering when Dave, my neighbour across the street is going to fix his blinds. Where am I ? A liquor store (again)
I think me and Jerry clearly dressed whilst still drunk.
UFO, Strangers in the Night, so not a chance.
We didn’t want to have to tell you this, but we cannot proceed with the North American tour.
Read MoreEveryone – I’ve got some news about the upcoming tour, and it’s really not the news I wanted to have to share.
