When I'm in my studio, it usually feels like a hassle to actually press all the buttons and make music come out the other end.

What bugs me are parodies - they're never as special as the original thing.

The nice thing about working for a label like Domino is that there's no pressure: They've got a roster of 40 active bands, and they can bang out an album or single in a week, so it's not the end of the world to not have a Max Tundra album in 2005.

There was a time when beheadings were in the public mind because people around the world were getting their heads cut off for various reasons.

It'd be tricky to read into my lyrics - some are autobiographical, but sometimes I just like the sound of words.

The program I use is called MED Soundstudio. It's basically a column of numbers that relate to pitch, duration, the type of sound. If I want to play a chord, I have to press keys on a keyboard - like a computer keyboard, on my Amiga - that relate to sharps and flats, note by note.

Making music is a total hassle, really.
