His first, ‘Overly Dedicated’, is good, but ‘Section.80’ steals it. It’s just good to see someone so talented with such good songs can finally get to the masses. He really deserves it; he came from a shithole and overcame so much to make this record. When someone does that it automatically makes it more interesting. I absolutely love this record and still listen to it all the time.” 2 Jacques Dutronc –‘Jacques Dutronc’

This was the first thing to really grab me. Those guitars! Two strings! How cool! Those drums! Slap slap slap slap! Dead easy! The women looked like they were from outer space and everything was linked in – the sleeves, the sound, the clothes, the iconography, the logo, everything. I think when you’re a kid, that’s what you’re after, a real unified feel to a band and that’s what The B-52s offered. Their songs were so easy to learn, they got me into playing really easily. This was definitely the first thing after Kiss or Rush that totally absorbed me like that.” 21 Red House Painters –‘Rollercoaster’ Challenge yourself to cook a meal with ingredients directly from your local farmer’s market. Taking the time to support local farmers and vendors is an important way to connect with your food. 129. Plant a herb garden That’s when my mind got blown for the first time. I’d never heard guitar playing like that. Coupled with the songwriting, it was music being played in a way I’d never heard before. Russell [Marsden, Band Of Skulls’ guitarist] showed me it when we were very young kids and just starting to play music together. We were jamming and we’d sit there for hours and hours doing these blues-y things, not speaking but just playing. I think that really moulded what we ended up doing now.” 83 Bill Withers –‘Live At Carnegie Hall’ For instance, what are the things you’re truly interested in and passionate about?

Finish a classic novelPink Floyd are me and [bandmate and partner] Charlotte Kemp Muhl’s joint favourite band, and this is our favourite period of theirs. It’s the cusp of them discovering the sound they went on to with ‘Echoes’, and you can hear Syd Barrett really peaking as a songwriter. It’s the bridge between those two worlds and it’s an incredible record.” 9 Outkast –‘Stankonia’ Biking isn’t just a great way to get in some exercise, but it can also help you get from Point A to Point B.
