What are you listening to outside your own work at the moment. Have you listened to any of the American new wave acts?
The American ones?
Like Television.
Yes, I've heard Television. I don't care for them too much. I heard Blondie and I like them. I have some stuff by the Stranglers which I thought was pretty good. There's a song by Lew Lewis that I thought was nice — "Caravan Man" (originally on Stiff, now deleted). And I just heard one Elvis Costello song for the first time, I thought it was really good. "Radio Sweetheart."
But with me now I have mostly Penderecki, Schoenberg, Webern, lute music, medieval vocal music, organ music, rhythm and blues, Pat Martino, Weather Report, Stravinsky, Gentle Giant, PFM, the Outlaws, two Queen cassettes, Black Sabbath, Mott The Hoople.
