We Didn't Really Want To Be An

The Song Dakota Was First Written In Paris. I Was Doing A Promo Trip. It Was Snowing And The Hotel Room Was Really Cold And Boring And For Some Reason I Just Had A Go Of The Guitar And The Song Came Pretty Quick.

Japan Is Quite Weird Because They Wait For You To Say Something Before They Respond. You Can Literally Hear A Pin Drop, They Don't Make A Sound Until You Say Something To The Crowd.

It's A Completely Different Way Of Working When You Have Your Own Place For Recording. It's Like If You Were A Painter, And You Do Loads Of Painting, And You Just Pick Which Paintings You Want To Exhibit. It's A Much Nicer, Freer Way Of Making Work; You're Not Limited To Anything, And You Can Make These Cool, Weird Little Albums.

I'm Not A Betting Man.

To Remain Relevant Though, I Think Making Great Records Is The Key.
