    Adam Ant was on Radio 4 this morning. He said something along the lines of “I saw the Sex Pistols and thought ‘If they can do it with four chords then so can I'”

    The thing is though there is far more to it than that. Anyone can knock out a 3 or 4 chord trick. Somehow taking that trick and turning it into “don’t stop believing” is so hard it can’t really be taught. Most songwriters feel that songs are almost delivered to them – IMO if you start applying method to it the whe thing falls apart

    Well crafted, that. Good choice of songs too. I

    Oh GlitterGary, try South Of Heaven, it’ll go very nicely I reckon.

    I’ve seen that before but it’s so clever, I still have to watch it start to finish every time it gets mentioned. Even tim minchins canvas bags is in there.

    I usually cringe at comedy musicians/singers but I like that.
