Your new album is called My Bloody Underground and is said to be your tribute to The Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus And Mary Chain… Get the fucking Mary Chain out of it. We already had bands before they did. I was listening to the same music that the Reid brothers were in 1984. That’s why I saw them with Bobby Gillespie; their first fucking US show. I don’t understand why you’re thinking My Bloody Valentine either…

It’s not like I consider myself a punk rocker; it’s more a case that I’ve been into the best music of all time forever. Since I was two years old I started buying records and now I’m 40 years old. That’s 38 years. It didn’t just happen as part of some neo-shoegaze revivalist bullshit. Before there was Oasis we got offered a deal by Alan McGee in 1992.
