 But, then again, I wouldn't call myself an indie-rock supporter even if there are some really good bands out there and there will always be some real good new bands. |
| Lou Reed is something like a personal favorite of mine, but you could always put me into that drawer of singers who can't really sing, who speak their songs. |
| I'm not sure if you can blame everything on the American way of life, but the United States are big. So, if you have a lot of people there, the percentage of stupid people is bound to be higher. |
| If you want to be negative about the whole thing you can say all guitar bands after the Beatles were just a waste of time because the Beatles were the best. I think it's far better to give new records a try. |
| We always did our own mixing. |
| A good voice isn't so important. It's more important to sound really unique. |
| We're probably a couple of freaks who've created their own little universe, are living in our own little world and that's the only place where we can survive. |
| We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff. |
| I never decided to start singing, to be a singer. |
| There's no point that an album should sound like a watered down version of another album. |
| I don't even think my voice is really good. |
| Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower. |
| I think the focus of the media changes. At the moment the more electronic stuff like trip-hop was the flavor of the month, just a little while ago. It all depends on the angle, from which point of view you see it. |
| Almost every band has somebody who's the main songwriter and who has a vision, a very clear idea of how a song should be. |
| I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though. |
| We were delighted to have Nigel as a producer. The only problem is that Nigel is so famous that he seems to dominate most interviews without being there. |
| What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much. |
| If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics. |
| The lyrics are different from Nick Cave songs and lyrics. His songs are very narrative. |
| I really do think everybody can sing. |
