I warm to rock bands that remind me of old rock because of the feeling of nostalgia I get from the music.

What is your opinion on the type of music that our younger generation are growing up to?

There are more and more songs about sex, drugs and alcohol and I think it’s sending them the wrong message.

Angus & Julia Stone, The Vines, The Holidays, Whitley, Illy, Urthboy, Daily Medz, Two Door Cinema Club, Foals, Florence and the Machine, Adele.

Do you and your friends share the same likes and dislikes in music?

Sometimes. I introduce a lot of music to my friends so in a way we do share the same likes but, having said that, some of them listen to bands I hate so it goes both ways.

The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought.
