This podcast is now four weeks old. Which is weird. I feel like I’ve been doing it for a lot longer.
Of course it probably doesn’t seem like I’ve been doing it for very long when you listen to it but these things take time. I’m learning as I go. Trial by fire ‘n all that.
On this week’s episode I have Paisley’s second favourite son (after Paolo Nutini, I guess) and St. Mirren enthusiast Kenny Leckie. He also plays in a wee band called Carnivores. They’re pretty good.
When I told my friend and fellow Carnivores fan that I had interviewed Kenny his immediate reaction was, did you ask him where they fuck they’ve been? And I did. Sort of.
We covered a lot of stuff:
As ever we spoke about influential songwriters, and covered a bunch of diverse stuff like Blur, Weezer, Radiohead, Wilco, Dillinger Escape Plan, Elvis Costello and The Beatles.
I honestly could have talked with Kenny for hours. It’s often difficult for me to judge how much of myself I should have in these podcasts, but when I listen back I’m usually always happy at how much space the interviewee has to speak. Kenny had a lot to say about music and politics, a lotof which I agreed with.
It’s an insightful and intelligent interview and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.
At some point during the interview I seemed to lose the ability to speak properly. It’s hard to regulate the accent and Scottishisms when you’re chatting to someone who’s prone to the same thing. I’ll be less mumble-y in the future.
