Russell interview transcription..?

Dear folks, As must be evident from my long term absence, I don't have much time to do, well, anything these days. As such, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in the below? As you know, I'm interviewing Russell on Sunday. I will have "an hour or so" and will be recording onto my mobile (partially cos I can't find my old tape recorder). My aim is to write up the interview, publish it in the appropriate online fanzine and later make the audio file available to you lot. Now, I was wondering, to make everything flow quicker, would anyone on here be interested/available to take a five minute chunk of the interview to transcribe? If enough people do, it will dramatically speed up the whole process and lead to a much wordier interview article than might otherwise be achieved if I'm just using my memory and selected quotes from the digital file. Let me know if anyone has the time and I shall duly make arrangements!

I'd be happy to help with this. I can take 10 mins to start with.

If needed, I can banish the work and study blues for a bit.

I'm Spartacus. I could do a bit, you'll have to chop it into little bits now. Did it go well?

If anyone was unable to do this or if there is still more to do then I'd be happy to take a bit more.

Thanks, Jay! There are three outstanding ones at the moment - parts 6, 8 and 9. I believe those are with Saw, Weej and weener respectively. So if you guys still have too much other stuff on your hands, JayJay is happy to take one off you!

More posts like this will make me get my finger out and get it finalised. Sorry!

I am a lazy man who has had too many other projects on the go of late. It's an absolute chore being so overly affectionate towards my interviewee and all his spiel to try and cut it down to article size. I need to be more objective but it's damn difficult. And time consuming! Please do keep abusing me on here until I eventually get it done. I need to be shamed into it. Genuinely.

You heard him folks - pester him! Take his mind off trivial matters like Pulp's inactivity during summer '82 ( they were probably practicing their best dungarees stance as Come On Eileen ruled the airways).

I think the 'work so far' is on my laptop. I'll try and get that file somewhere more accessible this weekend. That's a start, right?

Well now, my book's 200,000 words and took 7 years from inception to completion. At that (fairly slovenly) work rate, 11,000 words would take just under 5 months. You apparently did the interview in November. Time's up!

# of tiny Sturdys 1996-2003 = 0
# of tiny Brays 2015-16 = 2

This is my defence.

Yes, but I was young and useless, whereas you're, erm, seasoned and resourceful. Yes.

Stephen, maybe what you need is a good-sized shed at the end of the garden to turn into your own private office; somewhere out of bounds to everyone else and where there is no telephone or TV. I don't have a garden, myself, let alone a shed, but deffo would if I could. As it is, my family is banned from ringing me when I need a concentrated burst of activity on a personal project, otherwise nothing would ever get done.

I know Sturdy has set the bar high with his excellent book but I bet you have some really valuable stuff there, too - think of the satisfaction of getting it DONE!!!! plus the joy you will be bringing to everyone at Bar Italia! smile
