Hawkwind are one of those bands that people introduce you to because you don't see them on the covers of magazines. I'd heard 'Silver Machine' but Russell Senior, who was in Pulp, got me into them. They had a song called 'Master Of The Universe' and we nicked the title in 1985 for one of our songs.

I'm always amazed by people who blog all the time and tweet all the time, and still get things done. I don't know how they do it.

I guess I'm fairly insistent and maybe consistent. If I decide I'll do something, I generally will.

People who make good music aren't necessarily nice people.

I'm always nervous when I perform anyway.
