(Turner deems Cook "the band heartbreaker" and had a word with him post-LA: "I said to him, Come on, mate, you've got to get that beard shaved off. Get the girls back into us. Shift some posters.") ------- Ask Turner why he thinks the chasm between his writing and speaking eloquence is quite so mesmerisingly vast and he attempts a theory. "Well, writing isn't the same as speaking," he muses. "Not for me. I seem to struggle more and more with... conversation. Talking onstage... I can't do it any more. Hmn. I'll have to work on that." The ever-helpful Helders has a better theory. "Since he's been writing songs, it seems like he's always thinking about that. So even when he's talking to you now, he's thinking about the next thing that rhymes with that word. Even when he's driving. We joke he's a bad driver, his focus is never 100 per cent on what he's doing. Which is good for us cos that means he's got another 12 songs up his sleeve. I think music must be the easiest way for him to be concise and get everything out. Otherwise his head would explode." ------- Why do indie bands wear such tight jeans? AT:"Um, I suppose they do. They haven't always. When we first were playing, I was definitely in flares. You need to be quite tall to get the full effect, though. So, that's why this indie band wears such tight jeans, cos we've not got the legs for flares." -- 剩不到一个月新专辑就要发了啊！！！！！！！！！ --
