You can listen to it from 31:30, chuknowhutImeen?
Just pretty basic chit chat, nothing that interesting. I like the mood of the band. They seem relaxed and cool with life.

I think it's one of the first, if not the first time that Howlett (publicly) mentions die antwoord (one of my very faves apart), and he simply said that they had been great, which is cool.
By the way... it takes some guts to accept and arrive for an interview at 8 (!!) AM, doesn't it? Though it's like the middle of the night + the jetlag's influence unlikely to have been accustomed to after mere 10 days in the Antipodes might have even added to the potential confusion.
Themes of the interview aren't lame at all though. I've particularly liked the following ones: * custom sound boxes made for Liam; * the Barn's history; * the Red Square memoirs * Keith acting a hoarse voiced grandpa while discussing Woodstock; * social media killing the mystique of partying * a sound of snotting right in front of the mike
I doubt that I'd be able to elicit such witty answers at 8 on ANY subject myself....

http://www.musicradar.com/news/drums/ho ... m-617221/4Quote: Leo has been the Essex dance-crossover stars’ live drummer since 2007 and has developed into a vital part of the band’s live assualt, augmenting Liam Howlett’s intricate beats with his own shades of pulverising percussion.
Reinforce what's there…
“When he’s writing and developing songs, Liam often thinks of tracks in the live context. The recorded drums are an integral part of that. He has incredible perception of sound, how sound works and the drums are so intricately produced on the record. To have something come on top of that is odd in some ways. Live, the drums are there already, so what I’m doing is both reinforcing what's there, by laying a beat on top of existing parts, and ornamenting what’s happening. A lot of that is top end stuff, the cymbals, hi-hats and a lot of effects.
“On the snare break in ‘Breathe’, rather than play the same part I play a hi-hart part, to augment what’s already there. My main snare, a Tama 14"x8" G Maple, is tuned really low so it sits underneath Liam’s snares in the mix. It’s more of a bolster. The cymbals, the floors toms and the second snare are more audible, but they’re more of a reinforcement. That part in ‘Breathe’ is iconic so I augment it rather than copy it.”
Make interesting sounds…
“I really like effects cymbals, splashes, Zildjian’s Orientals and Oriental chinas, they’re really trashy, dirty, but I wanted to experiment so I went and spent an afternoon at my friend’s BMW garage, Fritz’s Bits in Somerset. He has racks and racks of crap, basically. I have some fly-wheels, old hub cabs and suspension parts, just to give a bit of a vibe, some dynamics.

I couldn't listen to the quiz, it was cringe worthy. There's some interesting snippets from Liam and Keith but you have to wade through a lot of shit to get them.
