I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
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
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
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
