Fookinell! You'll have to excuse this post because it is 1pm here and we've only just gone to bed! We're all absolutely cunted, Stash left his guts all over the tram, free beer and tequila all night, no sign of Jarvo and Mark yet.
Me and Alex got an interview with Hooky and Sarge, some great banter and some really good answers to the questions most of you want to hear. Sound quality wasn't good though as it was blowing a gale and the wind sound obliterates a lot of the interview. I'll do a full transcript when the battery has recharged on the minidisc recorder! There are questions and answers about:
* the new album work
* songwriting in general
* Torn Apart (the truth about the pint of piss!)
* Joy Division DVD
* Bootlegs, Warsaw recordings and the famous Hooky Vault
* DJ work
* Yachts
* Tanks
* offspring posting on NOOL
* Freebass
* E for England
* Re: Order
* Pernod, Asti Spumante and orange juice
half an hour of quality entertainment. Wolfram videoed it as well, not sure whether it will pass the bleep test though as both me and Alex were several beers the worst for wear!
Gig itself was a cracker, really lively audience and a great set. Perfect Kiss was about 6 mins long, same version as in the 93 gigs, it was segued into the start of Blue Monday rather than it being a medley. Working Overtime had a bit of a glitch!
I did record the gig as well, the first six songs anyway, but the microphone fell off my hat and it all got a bit messy. Very loud audience as well kept bloody talking!
Back out on the piss at 1.30 now!
How the 'eck did you wangle that and how did you think of such intelligent questions on the spot??!!
After Greg told me about this yesterday, I had a dream about you and Alex last night! Must be the envy infiltrating my brain
