The Duke Spirit
What was the best album released in 2006 that few people heard?
Dan Higgins: Haranna Hanne by Les Aus. I could be wrong about the few peopleæthey might be massive in the U.S.?
What do you hope to hear more of in 2007? Less of?
Olly Betts: I want to
hear more drums and less guitars.
Dan: More fearless singing and unusual songs. Less
skinny pop-rock and cock/money obsessed hip-hop.
What album or song do you feel best defines this generation?
Dan: I don’t like the idea of a song or album being that. Plough your own furrow, don’t be in a cozy nook for future reflection.
What’s the biggest goal for your life that you have yet to achieve?
Dan: Get happy stay happy.
If the world were ending in 24 hours, what would you do in those 24 hours?
Dan: Just stay in bed
with my lady.
Who would you like to see run for president in 2008? What are
the Democrats doing wrong, how can they take back the White House?
Olly: George Carlin.
