I saw David Lynchโs โThe Elephant Manโ (1980) when I was 15. I was completely bowled over. I found it so beautiful, strange and mesmerizing that I went back to the cinema every night for a week to see it.
Ben DanielsI went to see Shine a Light, and it was the most perfect thing I could have done to watch that man do what he does in front of an audience. Its primarily Mick Jagger, but theyre all so confident and relaxed and in love with what they do, and aware of the power of what they do. Its just deeply, deeply attractive.

Ben DanielsI say that drums and bass should be very prominent, with vocals being the most important thing, and maybe very little guitars. I conclude by calling for no songs over five minutes and saying that I'm sure we'll fail at anything like what I describe, but hopefully we'll do that in an interesting way. Plans never work!
