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.'

Image
I didn't grasp the basic principle of being a promoter, which was: Put on music but also generate an income. I was on the dole most of the time.
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.
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.

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.
