The internet seems to be what a lot of independent bands are doing these days. They're bypassing the studio - the big studios, EMI and all the record companies - and just doing it themselves, online, selling their stuff, getting known through that medium.

I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.

I tend to fly old airplanes and old sort of things that are nearly about as old as me. Biplanes and stuff like that.

I have no interest in going on a tour to make money without making new product, new art.

If you are in a band or in any situation with other people there are obviously brilliant aspects to it, but there are also things that you start finding yourself tied to.

I actually learned the guitar with the help of a Pete Seeger instructional record when I was 13 or 14.

Usually, in the studio, on this sort of thing... you just go out and have a play over it, and see what comes, and it's usually - mostly - the first take that's the best one, and you find yourself repeating yourself thereafter.
