Glasgow's not a media center. When you're there, when you're hanging about, you feel quite detached from musical movements or fashions or anything like that. You do feel quite alone, in a good way.

I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.

Image
A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I want to change and try new ideas - allowing your sonic identity to evolve in your music and not being afraid of that. You see musicians hit upon something that works, and then go, Let's keep doing that for 10 years. And that idea kind of terrifies me a little bit. It becomes like a day job then.

The Beatles were huge for me, ... I used to jump around the room to the red album, the one with all the early hits on it. It made you feel euphoric. It was a sensation I couldn't get from anything else, whether it was playing football, swimming or even seeing 'Star Wars.'

Although they might not admit it, I think girls are very aware of the impact that they're having. But they never feel it themselves, and it's impossible to explain. It's like trying to tell a blind person what yellow is.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I really want it to have an impact on the world. I want to be in a town on the other side of the world, and somebody walks up and says, 'That music you made in Glasgow, I listened to it every day, and it moved me.'

There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.

Why play a chord when you can play one note?
Alex Kapranos
Image
I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.

Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
Alex Kapranos
Image
It doesn't matter how adventurous you want to be, you've still got to contain your identity.
Alex Kapranos
Image
If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.
Alex Kapranos
Image
You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Anyone can play an instrument if you show them how to move their limbs, lips or fingers the right way. It's irrelevant. What is relevant is personality, energy, creativity and disturbing sense of humour.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.

Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
