1. Of all the bands/artists in your cd/record collection, which one do you own the most albums by?
Outright winner in all categories would be Paul Weller - from the Jam through the Style Council and in to the Solo years. AND he's finally coming to Perth in August!!! :)
2. What was the last song you listened to?
“Regret" by New Order, which just flicked across lastfm.com
3. What’s in your record/cd player right now?
The new Walter Becker Album "Circus Money"
4. What song would you say sums you up?
Today it would be Simply Red "Money's too tight to mention" but generally I think Paul Weller's song "Into Tomorrow" pretty much sums me up getting a bit older but having a fair bit of faith in moving on up.
5. What’s your favorite local band?
Eurogliders were pretty damn awesome and souly funky aussie band. Grace Knight had great pipes, and although Bernie couldn't play guitar to save himself, he knew his way around a song.
6. What was the last show you attended?
Steely Dan (OMG!) Sandalford Winery in about 9 degrees freezing cold but AWESOME
7. What was the greatest show you’ve ever been to?
I don't think I have ever seen a truly GREAT show. Sting in 1988 with that huge band was amazing, as was the Phil Collins gig in 1990 too - but I wouldn't admit that either. Branford Marsalis and his band played in Perth for a jazz festival a few years back and they were VERY special. Paul Weller on August 13 sounds good though!
8. What’s the worst band you’ve ever seen in concert? Never seen a truly bad band apart from mine . . .
9. What band do you love musically but hate the members of? Aww thats a tough one. I guess there a few bands you when you read interviews etc you think "what a wally" but love their albums. The first one that comes to mind is Liam from Oasis surprisingly .... !
11. What show are you looking forward to?
Paul Weller, August 13, Challenge Stadium, Perth, Western Australia!
12. What is your favorite band shirt?
A black t-shirt, grey angel tombstone, just says "The Church". Oh yeah do I look hot in that!
13. What musician would you like to hang out with for a day?
Outside of Paul Weller or Donald Fagan, I think that if John Coltrane was alive . . .
14. What musician would you like to be in love with for a day?
mmmmmm Joni Mitchell was pretty hot even up until here 50's !!!!
15. Commodores or solo Lionel Ritchie?
Both crap.
