This one.

Huh? Dawn After Dark, as in Howard Johnson's band?

A mouse, for definite. Hens are a bit weird.

Something that sets the scene for the rest of the set, something that makes the second song most effective.

Something foreign to seduce (I used to use Los Lobos quite successfully), Big Black tend to piss people off quite effectively, and the theme tune to John Carpentner's Starman, by Jack Nitzsche is as uplifting as music gets.

The Grass Arena by Tim Healy, and 'Heartthrob' by Tegan and Sara.

The South East was actually my least favourite drive of the journey, so I pretty much drove all night and slept in the car. Sorry.

Devon & Cornwall is devastatingly beautiful, as is the West coast of Scotland.

What, the whole song?!? You'd need a whole leg or something.

Hester, thank you for being so lovely. I hope to meet you someday to thank you in person. x

We have difficulty enough choosing which Ginger songs we can fit in without playing songs from a different artist, regardless of whether I'd written them or not.
Maybe we could something like that if we put a Hey! Hello! set together and needed to pad it out?

No, the biggest April Fools joke would be if I told you this wasn't actually Ginger from The Wildhearrts. Oh how you'd laugh.

Yep, I also talk to plastic telephones.

I mix a few together to make something work. Try putting clean-ish guitars through vocal or bass effects, if you're struggling to find what you're looking for. Trial and error should provide some sounds that you'll be happy with. Happy mixing.

Yes, I am a witch.

Yes, in fact I reviewed it for the gore book I'm writing. While obviously containing certain animal cruelty, like the rats on fire for instance, I'm not sold that the cat scene was real. The fact that such a big deal was made of it makes me think it was a publicity scam, and the cat doesn't look like its being torn apart, more like it's falling asleep covered in ketchup.

I promise I'll never stop making music. It definitely isn't my place to comment on it being amazing or not. One mans sonic bliss is another mans Linkin Park.

No, in fact I'd love to hear it. I'm unlikely to ever record that song properly so chop away.

The line "don't moan on tour, put your back into it" was in reference to the crew, as in "look how hard they're working...now lift a fucking cab you diva".

It was a lucky marriage between my Marshall at the time and my Les Paul 25/50 Anniversary model. I have a very similar thing going on with my Hagstrom and the Marshall 800 I'm using right now. It sounds more like Earth vs than any combination I've used since.
