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.

My Work PC @ BBC

It’s not been the greatest of weeks. Hell in fact. So what better way to top off 5 days of anguish than breaking a BBC computer? The thing is, i didn’t break it, i swiveled the screen and then….well it fell off.

One thing you can count on the BBC is the equipment.  I’m pleased with the result, a really large and cumbersome laptop… see under extremes of pressure we’re a pretty resourceful bunch.

Green Wing funny man…

He looks a bit like Alan Partridge and he sounds a bit like him, but he’s a very good actor, is also a law graduate from Cambridge and he’s really very funny….
