Mark E Smith Interviewed by Lauren Laverne on Transmission -

he looks like a fuckin alcoholic

She seems like she can handle her job well enough to me. What's interesting is how Mark just actively doesn't make any attempt at formality at all. He just mumbles and grunts like he would if he was anywhere else.

I'd have to say Lauren handled herself pretty well when faced with someone of Mark's calibre (not least after finding herself, with the cameras rolling, clearly out of her depth), although she seemed somewhat terrified of him by the end of the interview.

She's just built for showbiz, she's not in the real world, everything she says is guaged against some element of the fame machine. That's why he can't relate, he's experienced more than she ever will but he's domestic till he dies. Fucking great bloke, a true maverick. Lauren's not even fit, she's just a dumb bitch!

Laverne=beautiful

M.E.S.=legend

"Who you listening to at the moment?"

M.E.S. - "meself!"

PMSL

Laverne is a mongo.
M.E.S is a living leg end!

why even bother if thats the calibre of your questions? "have you ever ripped up liverpool with ian mculloch?" what are you supposed to say in response to questions like that?

feinstein1 - was a mostly a crap interview, do have to love him for taking it in stride! - like when she asked, "your present wife is now playing keyboards in the band, - would you consider replacing her?" - what kind of question is that!? - ".

I couldn't agree more and we wouldn't have him any other way. Some of the best and most talented artists are indeed pricks and twats.

That stupid bitch.

She needs to learn how to talk to legends.
