The Trash Society 

Interview with Matt Horne

What about your favourite artist of all time? What is the attraction?
Oooft. Erm, Orbital. They meant so much to me and I have everything on vinyl.

If we could grant you a wish to meet one musician or band, who would it be and why? What question would you ask them?
David Bowie. Because he's a genius and I'd ask him 'How?'

Name a song that never fails to pick you up
Lego by The Maccabees

And one that chills you out...
Korridor by Plastikman

What was the first gig you attended
The Levellers at Leicester De Montford hall, supported by Credit To The Nation. It was mesmerising, because I'd never experienced a gig before.

Tell us about your favourite record shop or online store, and what the appeal is
Selectadisc in Nottingham. I grew up with it and found a clear vinyl copy of In Utero by Nirvana 3 days before it was released. I love Rough Trade East now I live in London, because of it's music ethics.

You can step into the shoes of your musical idol for 24 hours. Who do you choose and what would you do?
Björk. What would I do? Find out what the hell's going on, sing...and play with myself.

Is there a new or undiscovered artist that you think we need to hear? Spill the beans.
Tribes are amazing as are Duologue. Though there's lots of great emerging artists. Totally Extinct Enormous Dinosaurs are ace.

You can banish one artist to the bargain bin. Who do you choose?
Mika
