My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

quote:

family have served in one kind of army or another since 995A.D., a long line of warriors. Savages really. Not a musical bone in any one of their bodies. The only music he heard growing up was “Happy Birthday To You…” and “Silent Night”. His father considered all music, even classical, to be unnecessary noise. Although was not one to rock the family boat, he didn’t really think he was going to join the army – it sort of crept up on him. Plus his family didn’t have a boat. Aged fourteen he just held the teenage conviction that he would have an interesting life – maybe that’s why he picked the guitar? Then again, maybe if he hadn’t, he would have fallen over it. He went to University and studied Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering and Sociology, spending most lectures asleep on the floor at the back. In much the same way, he ended up in the army. In essence, one day he was sleeping off a hangover at the back of a sociology lecture hall and the next thing he knew he was in Kosovo with a gun and a guitar strapped to the side of a tank.

So how did the music get into him, you might ask? Well if you were sent to boarding school aged seven, studied Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering by mistake (“I thought we were going to fly planes, but we just pulled metals apart – the brochure was very misleading.”), joined the army by default, guarded The Queen and buried The Queen Mother, what you’re going to want to do very much after that, besides getting stoned and laid, is put your gun down, make an album in America on Linda Perry’s Custard Label with Tom Rothrock. So, that in fact, is exactly what did.

At night he’d go to bars, bringing with him his valuable British accent (in the U.K., too posh for some people – in LA, the best thing she’d heard all night). From birth in the military hospital in Tidworth, to Harrow School, to Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering, to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, to The Household Cavalry, to Kosovo, to Buckingham Palace, to a recording studio in Los Angeles. How did get from there to here? Only hairdresser knows for certain, and either he isn’t talking or cuts his own hair, and it’s up to you to join the dots – there are ten of them on the album.
