They’re Dinosaurs…..

Dinosaur Jr formed in 84, split in 97 and then got back together in 2005 – all in a lifetimes work then. They really don’t like doing interviews, or so the media says. But i found them quite engaging and full of opinion. Mascics is one of the funniest people i’ve interviewed. I could probably play his interview back double the speed and it would still sound slow!  The bands ninth album is out on June 23rd. It’s called Farm. It wasn’t recorded on one though, nope they recorded it in a small room in the J.Mascis mansion.

Meeting Marilyn Manson

Four hours is officially the longest time I have ever had to wait to interview a musician, and now my interview with Marilyn Manson is officially the strangest 10 minutes of my life.

Having arrived at The BBC Maida Vale studios with the naive understanding he’d be on time I spent much of my afternoon sat in a lounge preparing for the big rock arrival.

Away from music, Marilyn Manson has proved himself an insightful, articulate and compelling man, this interview conducted after a session for the BBC went slightly wayward.

During the interview he pulls the microphone apart, asks his girlfriend to strip and drops more sexual innuendos than Finbarr Saunders from the Viz comics.
