This big interview piece with certified Dad Hero Mark E Smith is well worth 10 minutes of reading time.

An excellent piece of work from the writer Kevin Perry who spoke to Mr Smith over many pints in Manchester on the eve of the 29th Fall album, Ersatz GB.

For a bit of contrast, check out this vid courtesy of TV’s Lauren Laverne. Painful. Demonstrating that for a good interview, it’s best if you know something about the person, rather than just be an ironic media twunt.
