The charming crew over at Outside Left (https://www.outsideleft.com/about.php) are hosting a week of interviews, book extracts and random thoughts drawn from my mind…Which is nice. I really enjoyed the ‘personal worst albums ever list’ as a thought exercise (yes, I put Mogwai and Foo Fighters on it), and it was fun teasing out another book extract exclusive, plus interviews can be very enjoyable – they just rely on an openness to being an honest and questions that have had some energy committed to them. The nervousness a lot of people have now about being confronted, I’m not a fan, I think everyone reads better and comes across better when there’s a humanity and on-the-spot realness to what they’re expressing.
Hope it’ll entertain and a big thank you to Paul for proposing it!
