In No Way Am I Supporting Or Suggesting That A Conservative Government Is A Good Thing, Far From It.

What People Have To Make Sure Of Is That They're Not Replicating Something That Already Exists. You Really Have To Ask Yourself: "is There A Point In Me Doing This? Has This Already Been Said Before? Is This Moving Things Along Or Is This Just Adding To The Giant Pile Of Junk That's Already There?"

There's The Famous Thing That The A&r Man From The Record Company Is Supposed To Do: He's Supposed To Come Into The Studio And Listen To The Songs You've Been Recording And Then Say, 'guys, I Don't Hear Any Singles.'

I Was Kind Of Reared By Television, But The Bbc, It Still Had That Thing - And People Are Always Invoking That Kind Of Reithian Idea - Where You Could Learn Stuff From It. If You Put A Kid In Front Of A Telly Now To Be Reared By That You'd Just Have A Jibbering Idiot, You Know What I Mean? Just Adverts For A Start. It's Almost Like The Programmes Are An Afterthought, The Real Business Of This Channel Is To Sell You Things And We're Just Going To Space Out Those Announcements With Some Crap To Watch.
