Do you keep tabs on people like Echo and the Bunnymen and Julian Cope, and keep up with what they’re doing these days?
BD: Not really. I’m friends with Will Sergeant, and sort of with Ian McCulloch. But I’ve got a close relationship with Will Sergeant, even if we don’t see each other for a year or two, I know we’re friends, and we always will be. So I always wish them well with what they’re doing. But I haven’t heard the new record. You know, my 22-year-old son’s not playing it, and my 14-year-old daughter’s not playing it.
And Cope? I know he’s said some fairly hostile things about you in the past, but that’s kind of just his way, I’d imagine; he’s certainly gone off in some interesting directions…
BD: He has. And it’s fantastic, yeah. I don’t necessarily get the music, but I like the fact that he does what he does, and goes off in all different directions.
