More quotes by 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 think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.
Alex Kapranos
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.
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.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
Alex Kapranos
Image
It's fine to indulge yourself so long as you don't try and foist it on the rest of the world.

Image
People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Music should be universal. My life perspective, my lifestyle - I'm not going to impose that on the people that listen to my music. That's kind of a perverse form of snobbery I like to reject.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.

Image
Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.
Alex Kapranos
Image
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Cinema, which is influenced by every single part of life, is direct and reaches you immediately. And writing - the best writing is complex ideas communicated concisely. And music - if it's a good tune, make sure people can bloody hear it!

Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
Alex Kapranos
Image
The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
Alex Kapranos
Image
It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Being in a band didn't buy me my beans on toast!
Alex Kapranos
Image
There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.
Alex Kapranos
Image
A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.

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.
