My first album MADONNA - 'THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION' " I bought it under the Westway [in west London] when I was very young, probably about five. I think my sister and I put our pocket money together. My mother played 'Like A Prayer' a lot at home; we'd listen to it while we cleaned the house. 'The Immaculate Collection' is some of the best pop music ever written. I still love it. "
The first song I ever fell in love with JOANNA NEWSOM - 'EMILY' " There are songs that I definitely fancied and songs that I fooled around with, but the song that had the biggest effect on me was 'Emily' by Joanna Newsom. The first time I heard it was on a mix CD I was given by Sara who runs Young And Lost Club Records. It had the whole of 'Ys' on at the end. I remember just walking round listening to it, completely amazed that someone who was young and alive was making such genius music. ''
My favourite lyric LIFT TO EXPERIENCE - 'JUST AS WAS TOLD' " It's " Don't you boys know nothing? /The USA is the centre of Jerusalem" and it's just an amazingly intelligent lyric. 'USA' is the centre of 'Jerusalem', if you write it down. That's the kind of lyric that really amuses me. I actually had the pleasure of meeting [former LTE guitarist] Josh T Pearson at Latitude last year and I completely fanboyed out at him. I told him it was the best lyric ever written and he went, 'Gee, thanks. I worked real hard on that one. ' It was the coolest thing in the world. "
Right now I love
