I bought something on ebay off of Stephen Singleton from ABC and asked him some questions about making the "Look of Love" video. He sent me some Scritti Politti Demo tapes along with the purchase and was very kind and a pleasure to correspond with. Does that count as an interview?

[br]I was thinking about the recent interview with Ray Burmiston (cool guy, bought me lunch!) of the Passion Puppets when the topic sprung to mind.

So far I've interviewed:

Landscape - all members (though Richard James Burgess was by far the best interviewee)

Andy Jarman from A Popular History of Signs

Paul Egholm from The Pinkees


Currently in the process of interviewing Gary Barnacle from the Leisure Process but that is two months away from being started and tracing leads about finding Jona Lewie.

Are these interviews available on the internet for interested parties to read [:)]

Maybe [;)]

Seriously, Richard James Burgess one certainly is right now.

Andy Egholm need to be scanned in.

Andy Jarman is on CD and for reasons of space it will have to be low-quality rip

The Ray Burmiston interview.. Muggins here accidently recorded it in MP3 (at 320-44 no less) rather than WAV. Could be a while that one..

Anyway, I'll post the Richard James Burgess one first over the next couple of days.

No, but I asked Thurston if he had heard Brian Wilson's "Smile" album and he said that he was sort of apprehensive about hearing it, saying he preferred to just listen to his bootlegs.
I then segued into Sonic Youth's cover of "I Know There's An Answer" which will be on the double CD "Goo" reissue. Sweet!

Ironically, I was a reporter for 13 years and rarely interviewed any musicians. I interviewed many well-known people but almost no famous musicians.

I had a conversation with Cy Curnin (The Fixx) many years ago.

I corresponded via e-mail for a while with Robin Scott (M) and Debbie Diamond (The Januaries).


However for you Sci-Fi fans, I did an interview with Tom Baker (the 4th Doctor Who) back in '83.

If you have a tape of that Tom Baker interview I betcha I could find a lot of people who would jump through hoops to hear it.

Oh, the kids show. LOL. I will need to watch it with my baby.
The Bruce Cockburn interview actually happened just a couple of years before the show began in '97.
