Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.

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

Why play a chord when you can play one note?
Alex Kapranos
Image
Just because you can leap off a drum kit doing a scissors kick while hitting a chord, people expect you to be an extrovert socially. But I'm not always comfortable with the idea of small talk at a party.

Being in a band didn't buy me my beans on toast!

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

Image
You can always have it better. If you try... [This is the right attitude:] Never to feel [completely] satisfied, always to want to do something better!
Alex Kapranos
Image
You can't write for the cultural environment - if you do that, by the time it comes out, that cultural environment has passed. You have to be aiming for something that's original - that's the only way you can have any kind of impact.

Image
A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.

Boho to me is a first-year student who's just discovered the tie-dye shop.
Alex Kapranos
Image
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 think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
Alex Kapranos
Image
No matter what you do, if you're trying to create something new, your environment has a massive impact on you.
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
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
I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.
