"This song broke my heart for many reasons. One, because I listened to it and it broke my heart as a song. It also broke my heart because I wanted to instantly aspire to be as good as it. I may have got somewhere near it but it's a song that made me want to be a solo artist in many ways and try and be good at it."

(Just after chatting to his wife about taking heroin with Elastica and how their pet dog's siblings have won at Crufts)

I doube-dare anyone to listen to the whole three hours of his Rudebox podcast.

Interesting in parts though as all the songs he plays are by 'Britpop' bands following a back-and-forth in the press about pop music versus worthy indie bands and how he felt "any knobhead with a guitar" was able to get signed in the 90's. Quite remarkable how his insecurites come across but I guess he's always been a very plain-speaking person.

Nice to see the appreciation for Pulp though. After playing Something Changed he also describes meeting Pulp at Glastonbury and showing them his poems/lyrics and how he dearly wanted to impress them.
