MySpace a place for friends

Mr Martin Philip continues to wreak havoc on Myspace with his blasted synth-pop. Still eloquent with rage, spouting his bilious poetry. What can we expect this time from our digital desktop minstrel? The Provocative: Your description of yourself as a singer/programmer is obviously a knee in the groin to the singer/songwriter tradition. Everybody knows that programming is nothing compared to the craftsmanship of proper song writing. Defend yourself! Mr Philip: I can always make a screen dump and print it out for you, if it makes you happier. But it’s time and ink wasted. The Provocative: How about your plans to go unplugged in a near future? What’s that all about? Yet another mockery? Mr Philip: No, it’s not that far fetched really. I would love a lap top set up with a wireless, Bluetooth sort of arrangement. No more cables or phono plugs. The Provocative: Well then if software is the future in music, which software would you consider as the most important for music making today? Mr Philip: Definitely Microsoft Excel, so you can keep an eye on how much money you’re going to waste. Oh those lovely spread sheets! The Provocative: You claim that you have the recipe for making a number one world hit. Do you care to reveal your secret formula? Mr Philip: Certainly! 1 1/2 ounces of vodka, 3 ounces of tomato juice, 1 ounce lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon worcester sauce, 3 drops of Tabasco sauce, pepper and salt. Bob’s your uncle! Once again it’s proved pointless to get any straight answers from Mr Martin Philip. So let’s listen to his music instead.
