Did you lie all the way through this questionnaire to make yourself look cooler?: The versions of this feature I penned on Pablo Honey and Grace have been deleted. I just couldn't keep lying to myself.
When did you first hear of the artist in question?: Honestly, I’d never heard a thing by them until I put the tape in the machine. It’s a nice way to do things really. We should all take more risks with our record purchases.
When did you first hear of the artist in question?: With my ear pressed against my brother’s bedroom door.
What’s your favourite track now?: Either Mr Psycho, or Growler , which I hadn’t realized until we dug it out for the long haul down to Glasto goes very techno at the end.
What did you think when you first listened to the album?: To be honest I was disappointed. It wasn't very instant and I was fifteen at the time, so quite impatient. It only grew on me a couple of years after...
Who was your favourite member of the band and why?: Probably Alex James, before it was cool to like Graham Coxon. I always feel Dave Rowntree gets left out though. Poor The Rowntree.
Did you lie all the way through this questionnaire to make yourself look cooler?: Nope.
If you didn’t buy it with your own pocket money, who bought it for you: I bought it with my carefully cultivated £1 per week stash of pocket money. So indirectly, my parents did buy it for me. I was the musical middle man of the whole deal.
When did you first hear of the artist in question?: Attending a state-school in the early nineties, The That, as they were never known, were an unavoidable force known to all. Maybe it was in our Dairylea.
