And I haven't heard one person who disliked that as a #1, well, until today, but that was just one :), mostly everyone was pleased with that though! Aside from the occaisional mishap, that's a pretty shithot list of songs. Taste wise. And my other passion in the music world, the Whitlams made it twice. Good to see.

So I thought I'd transcribe the interview on national radio yesterday. For those who missed it. Is that all right? This interview made me smile. She has to be the sweetest funniest person on earth! Adam Spencer's breakfast show, January 28th 2000- a: ...we're on jjj breakfast, Adam Spencer here, joined by the amazingly talented and now de-meucused Beth Orton, you clear? your nose is clear? ready to fire? b: yep, yep, it's good, it's all over your floor a: we collect celebrity goober over there in the corner and I think yours will be one of the most expensive carpet squares at the end of the year, Samuel L Jackson came in acouple of years ago and really made a square very nice b: excellent a: your was more natural, it wasn't forced b: yeah, yeah, organic a: *laughs* I'd like to say I saw you at the Big Day Out, more accurately I walked around a very crowded room trying to get in and trying to poke my head in, it was packed at the BDO, you really pull in some crowds b: yeah a: you enjoy it? b: yeah it was great, it was tops a: are you pleasently surprised that that many people are packing in and enjoying it? b: definately, always surprised a: where are they hearing about it? b: where are they coming from? I don't know where they're hearing about it, it's wierd, it seems to be really word of mouth which is great a: what sort of a crowd is it? because we're noticing more and more with big festivals in Australia like the electronica and dance music components of your BDO is getting larger and you're also seeing more people who might be coming for your original guitar rock then going and doofing later on in the night, where does your music fit into that scheme? b: I don't know, I mean, I've said it before, I'll say it again is that I was introduced to a lot of different songs by say Primal Scream and Tom & Ed and for example 'I wish I never saw the sunshine', Innis from the Primals, he introduced me to that song, I went home and did my own version of it you know, but it's like I think just because you enjoy a good dance and all that stuff you know, you can't, it doesn't negate you enjoying umm... some more ambient music you know, I mean, I don't know anyone who's that one dimensional a: now promoters and, even to an extent, record stations are starting to realise that more and more aren't they? b: yeah a: it's not a matter of no, no, like, I'm into to rock mate, or I'm into punk, no, I'm into dance music b: it's so stupid, I mean, what do they think people are? like, I mean, it's like I'm not like that, I don't just go home and sort of plat my hair and do crochet, d'ya know what I mean? and I know Tom & Ed don't just go home and listen to banging fucking mental music all the time d'ya know? a: *laughs* do Tom & Ed crochet? b: oh they love to crochet a: fantastic, I love a major rock icon who is also good in the creative arts b: I like them when they're good in the kitchen a: absolutely, what are you like in the kitchen? b: amazing a: *laughs* you talk about Primal Scream being an influence and now you're kicking around the BDO with them, for people going to the BDO you bring all your school mates, and you meet mates, it's got this sort of festive side to it, is it the same for the artists? b: it is! actually, it's funny, I was thinking it's kind of like my brother works in timber and sometimes they have these weeks away where they all have big sort of conventions, and I thought, oh, it's a bit like that really, it's like the busman's holiday, lot's of filth, it's great, it's so much fun, it's lovely seeing everyone, 'cos to be honest this is the first time I've seen anyone for ages, 'cos we're always ... off around the wooorld ... recording recooords ... a: at the same time *laughs* are you bumping into some people and doing the sort of i've heard three of your alubms blah blah blah, never met you before, nice to meet you? b: well, I mean, Jo Strummer hellooo! my life! a: *laughs* b: he's amazing yeah, so that's pretty wild, he's on the same stage as me as well a: do you plan in advance where you're going on the day, do you have your little map with I'll go see that, I'll go see that, or are you I'll let the mood blow you around type? b: I let the mood blow me from place to place a: where has your mood, in which directions has it blown you, so far? b: so far? Primal Scream, I saw Primal Scream the other day and then I tried to watch Jo Strummer, but my mind had been so blown by the Primals that I just had to like take it easy, I just couldn't handle any music after that... it's like woah a: you had to go sit in a quiet corner after that b: well it's like going to see a really good film you know, it was just like wow, then I saw the Chemicals last night, then I saw Jo Strummer the night before and oh yeah, um, I saw Something about Kate [she's means Something for Kate - oz rock trio - yummy bass player] I thought they were really good a: we're talking to Beth Orton on jjj breakfast... here's the Deep Dish re-mix of 'central reservation'... [song plays] a: ... on jjj we're talking to Beth Orton... beth, I read recently in Rolling Stone magazine when you nominated your top 10 favourite singles b: did I? a: you're looking a bit nervy now b: yheah a: oh, I got it here in front of me, it happened b: who is it? a: it's got here under the title "Beth Orton's record collection" - Rolling Stone magazine February 2000. b: hello? a: I have the documents, what I love is where you nominate ten cd's you really rate and you mention your own one, Trailer Park b: *realises now* oh yeah! I did *giggles* I wrote Rolling Stone here, let's have a look *reads* "what's the point in making a record you don't like?" a: absolutely b: exactly... my sentiments exactly... *reads on* "I don't think I could ever call songwriting a job, I felt like such a cunt" oh, I say a: *laughs* I was going to gloss over that b: I'm so rude a: *laughs more* you're much ruder in print than in person b: yeah, it's true a: Stone Roses are on that list, what do you think of when you think of the Stone Roses? b: I don't know, I can't intellectualise music, I don't think of anything, I just enjoy 'em a: I like Dusty Springfield being on the list b: yeah, she's genius a: Dusty did a lot of interpreting of other people's work, right? would you like her to sing your songs if that was a possibility? b: what if she wasn't dead? a: yeah, is she the sort of artist you would want? b: yheah! a: what is it about handing over your work to someone like dusty? b: she's got an amazing voice and ... pff... she's just full of soul, soulful person, maybe we should send a message over to the other side? [ the interview goes on for another minute or so... then he plays the Chemical Brothers 'out of control'] Such a sweet voice. And when she says 'it's like' in conversation, it sounds exactly like central reservation where she sings 'it's like'. She's also a regular potty mouth too :) gotta love that. I've only heard the word cunt on jjj once before in 5 years of listening! Good work!!
