Going solo
1:23pm Friday 28th March 2008
Q. Hey andy my name is Alex and I was wondering if your supposed solo album was gonna be song like on XTC or stuff improvised like Monstrance?
Thanks for your time, and thank you for filling my ears with the greatest music ever written.
Alex
A. Dear ol' Alex,you seem like a smart bunch.This rumoured solo album of mine is just that at the mo,a rumour.Started inadvertantly in an interview with Billboard by Robyn Hitchcock,who i'm working with on and off at the moment.
Although I have the basic idea sketches of about 350 songs i'm not sure that I like the direction any of them are going in. Partly a desire not to repeat myself and partly a lack of confidence mixed with a dash of healthy disgust about the business of music.
Once I get my head sorted out on this matter there'll ether be a solo record,or not.
Sorry that I cant be more definite ol' chum but my skip of a brain is in a bit of a muddle at the moment on the next record front.
Its probably hormonal.
