00:00 Jacob Morrissey because he's quite a you know from I've never met him but he seems quite a difficult

00:05 or a hard person to to get to know must be if if he likes you then then you've got a head start

00:13 haven't you? I don't know I've always heard that he's weird yeah um but he was very pleasant with

00:19 me. A pop star should be weird. Yes and he lives in Los Angeles which I find weird because I'm a

00:26 I'm a Londoner and I love Britain strangely enough no I love London especially you know I've got all

00:32 those memories of Soho and all the Tin Pan Alley all those great times but if he's weird which they

00:37 do say he is I didn't actually notice it but I only had tea with him so uh perhaps I didn't see

00:43 the weirdness. The video of that is really good as well and it gets the message across that thing

00:49 don't you know don't watch the news it makes you miserable that's very I thought it was a very

00:52 clever song actually. I think again I don't listen to Morrissey stuff normally and I have to now eat

00:58 my words I've never met him and then he was in London last week and I go and have tea with him

01:03 I got on really well he he actually had sent me an email saying he thinks my version is better than

01:09 his version and it's so true who wants to look at the news at the moment it's totally depressing and

01:16 awful and it doesn't seem to get any better and he's summed it up perfectly. Tris Penner found

01:21 that song for me and I'm very grateful. Okay Tris Penner and Mark Armand came to me and they said

01:27 you know because we're good mates and we'd sometimes go and have rather funny little

01:31 lunches and when we can talk about everything that's non-pc and have a giggle and they always

01:36 said you know really I think you should do an album that takes people to another place not just

01:43 my usual blues stuff and I do blues because I can do it well and I can work every day of the week

01:48 if I want to but with this so Mark and Tris chose two thirds and I chose a third for example I never

01:56 would have thought of doing a Lana Del Rey song because I never used to listen to her but Mark

02:02 Armand found it and spent the day in bed written by Morrissey. See I like that I thought I think

02:09 that's that's done really well for you as well. Yeah. Is that your most successful? I suppose

02:15 yes. It's amazing that see that's the other thing that we will talk about that you're the fact that

02:20 you're so promiscuous in your album. Yeah. You're very promiscuous you've got 70 albums or something.

02:27 This is my 74th.
