Jamie Reynolds [Klaxons]

I interviewed Jamie Reynolds out of the Klaxons on a very bad line on the 11th of September. 2007. I spoke to him for around half an hour, but I have only transcribed about 20 minutes of the interview. In a typically confident, literate, eloquent, and well-rehearsed interview performance, he only saw the need to namecheck this blog once - a record low for a native English speaker.

Sugar [Bob Mould, David Barbe, Malcolm Travis]

In 1992, while visiting the offices of the rock magazine "Riff Raff," I was suddenly asked to do an interview with the band Sugar, regarding their forthcoming album "Copper Blue." I agreed to help out, even though I knew zilch about the band. (I later found out that they were quite critically acclaimed.) This is how Riff Raff used to operate and perhaps is one reason it is no longer in business.

The interview was at a hotel near Madame Tussaud's in London. I spoke to Bob Mould, David Barbe, and Malcolm Travis for around 50 minutes in an astounding interview performance that generated a veritable tsunami of 'y'knows' and other verbal tics.
