What was the first album you ever bought?
I think the first album I ever bought was Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill.

What album has had the biggest impact on your life? Why?
No particular album has necessarily had a big impact on my life. In saying that I have been listening to Pink Floyd (all albums) since I was day 1 so every song is more or less drilled into my head at this point.  My dad is a massive fan, and constantly has it playing — no wonder he is a little off The Wall! Also bits and pieces of The Chemical Brothers, Blondie, Basement Jaxx, various Dance albums through the years, REM.... But if any had any impact it would probably be Pink Floyd.
What do you sing in the shower?
Sad as it is but this goddamn song has been stuck in my head for a long time now is Don’t Leave Me This Way by The Communards. I love Jimmy Somerville’s little Potato Head!
What is the best album ever made? Why?
It would most definitely have to be one of all time classics: Pink Floyd, Wish You
Were Here. This album is a masterpiece of Progressive Music.
What is playing in your CD player at the moment?
Right now I have Jose Gonzalez, Veneer along with Jack Johnson, In Between Dreams.
