Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.

A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.

People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.

I really want it to have an impact on the world. I want to be in a town on the other side of the world, and somebody walks up and says, 'That music you made in Glasgow, I listened to it every day, and it moved me.'

Anyone can play an instrument if you show them how to move their limbs, lips or fingers the right way. It's irrelevant. What is relevant is personality, energy, creativity and disturbing sense of humour.

I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.

Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
