Public Address: ALWAYS BE LISTENING

“By the time I came down to London, I was full of ambition. I remember one of the guys at Rough Trade taking me into a room, like the headmaster’s office — this ex-public school boy — and told me, ‘I hear you’ve been slagging off Rough Trade.’ I think I’d said something about their distribution in an interview. He went, ‘Well, we’re not in the business of making pop stars here.’ And I said, ‘I’ve noticed.’ I was arrogant enough to think that my stuff was too good to be buried.” Roddy Frame Musician
