Check out this snippet
from an (incredible) interview
Andy Partridge just gave
to Magnet Mag:
"I think it’s kind of odd, actually, that everyone wants to sound like
it’s 1979 again. I lived through it, and it just sounds like dress up:
“Let’s play skinny ties, tight trousers, sharp angular guitars and
hiccup vocals.†I’m not interested in that. I’ve been through that
station on the trip already.
I long for young kids to come up with some stuff that’s really going to
upset me. But you know what, nobody does. They all want a little piece
of the corporate cake, they’re all too stale, playing it safe and calm.
I want a band who make their own instruments out of cardboard, play
four-hour songs about urinating. I want stuff that’s really out there,
because everything else has been done to death, and then redone, and
then recycled and redone, and even recycling redone has been recycled
and redone. Is it too much to ask for something new, for god’s sake? It
sort of started in a big way in the ’90s, this sort of regurgitating;
and now it seems like the circles are getting smaller and smaller,
tighter and tighter."
Discuss ???
