What music are you currently grooving to?
The Saints
’ catalogue. I love that they’ve re-formed and now have Mark Arm fronting. I think he’s the only guy on the planet who could’ve done it. He or Mark Lanegan. Rest in peace, Chris Bailey!
What, if push comes to shove, is your all-time favourite album?
If I said Motörhead’s Ace Of Spades… I guess I could sleep at night! So many good records… Led Zeppelin II or Sly & The Family Stone’s Greatest Hits? Refused’s The Shape Of Punk To Come? Exile On Main St.? 1999? And on and on!
What was the first record you ever bought? And where did you buy it?
Kiss
’s Alive!
, from Peaches Records in Seattle. That cover blew my 12-year-old mind away. The three-chord songs would lead me to punk rock within the next 12 months. The groove of Strutter or Firehouse is just a short stone’s throw to Bodies by the Pistols.
