The Press Will Naturally Come

Japan Is Quite Weird Because They Wait For You To Say Something Before They Respond. You Can Literally Hear A Pin Drop, They Don't Make A Sound Until You Say Something To The Crowd.

I'm Not A Betting Man.

The Culture's Changed Massively. The Kids Are Different, With The Phones And Stuff. Even If You Like A Song, You Don't Really Know Who The Artists Are, It's A Lot More Faceless, It's A Lot Less Tribal. When We Were Growing Up It Was Much More Tribal - It Was Rock, It Was Grunge. Now People Like Songs, [but] They Don't Necessarily Know The Song's Origins. I Don't Know How You Would Feel Angry At The World, Or Distressed, Because Most People Are Constantly Distracted Or Consumed.

I Heard The Bloc Party Record Japan Before It Came Out In The Uk As They Are On The V2 Record Label. I Think It Has A Great Vibe And Has Great Songs. I Also Think The Kings Of Leon Are Right Up My Street.

To Remain Relevant Though, I Think Making Great Records Is The Key.
