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

Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.
Alex Kapranos
Image
You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
Alex Kapranos

The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.

No matter what you do, if you're trying to create something new, your environment has a massive impact on you.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Of course, there's a certain type of person who feels that anything which becomes mainstream has to be rejected immediately. And that's part of the indie-alternative snobbery and hierarchy and elitism.
Alex Kapranos

I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.
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.

If I was a fan of someone as a teenager, then it's OK for me to feel completely in awe when I meet them.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.
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.'
Alex Kapranos
Image
You really only understand whether a song's good or not when you properly play it out in public for the first time.
Alex Kapranos

For me upward social mobility is possible through talent and hard work and is a glowing endorsement of the benefits of living in a modern capitalist society. It's not so much evidence of a meritocracy, as evidence of healthy nepotism. Nepotism is at the core of a good group dynamic. A good group dynamic is at the core of rock'n'roll.

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
People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.
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.

The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
