好像是04年的...看過的就再緬懷一次吧T.T 裡面提到了解散後團員們各自的動向 還有Paul跟前Skunk Anansie 的女主唱Skin合作的事 以及一些關於Kleptomania的問題 Paul Draper HeathenAngel was offered the opportunity to send in some questions to ex-Mansun frontman, Paul Draper, so we cobbled together the semblance of an interview and sent it off. Here’s what Paul returned … HeathenAngel: Mansun, it all seemed to be going so well, the split seemed to come out of nowhere. What happened? Paul: There were problems internally in the band that drifted on for ages until it wasn’t possible to carry on anymore. HA: It's nearly nine years since "Take It Easy Chicken" was released. If someone back then had told you where you'd be today, what do you think you would have said to them? Paul: Well I’m sort of back where I started, not really doing much, but hopefully I’ll get some music out soon. HA: What do you think of the current quote being passed around that Mansun were the "king of all cult bands"? Paul: I suppose that’s coz we were a bit different and not mainstream. I just thought we didn’t follow the fashion, but now I realise to be successful you have to follow the fashion and operate within narrow parameters of what’s termed 'creativity'. HA: Have you found that you miss being in Mansun or do you prefer being solo? Paul: I’d had enough so I’m enjoying doing my own thing right now. HA: Have you kept in contact with the others since Mansun split? What are they doing? Paul: Andy is playing with other bands, Chad’s left the music industry, Stove works on the production line at a Toyota engine factory in my home town of Deeside in North Wales. HA: Why has the decision been made to release Kleptomania now? Paul: Parlophone have been planning to put some unreleased stuff out for a while, it just took some time for the split to heal and to get all the tapes together. HA: Was Kleptomania a record company decision, Mansun's decision or a joint effort? Paul: A petition was sent in by fans to release it, I think Parlophone were easy either way, I went along with putting it out as I didn’t want to let anybody down again. HA: Have you enjoyed working on Kleptomania? Annotating the sleeve notes etc? Paul: It was tough sifting through the tracks because everything was so unfinished, but if people want to hear a work in progress then I don’t mind to much. HA: Whose choice of single was Slipping Away? If not yours then do you agree with the choice? Paul: It was a spur of the moment thing, if the band had still been together we would have put out Love Remains. HA: Slipping Away seems to sound quite commercial in comparison with previous Mansun releases. Was this an intentional direction, can we expect more of this sort of sound from Kleptomania? Paul: I guess that’s why we chose it, because nobody would play it on the radio so you’ll only be able to hear it a few times on XFM, etc ... so being commercial it helps. HA What have you been doing with yourself since Mansun split up? Paul: Travelling and writing. HA: We heard you've been doing some work with Skin, how did that come about? Was it enjoyable to work with her? Paul: We wrote a few tracks together, I enjoyed it very much as she’s a lovely person. HA You haven't played live since the final Mansun tour two years ago, is that something you'd like to get back to? Paul: When my album comes out I’ll go and play live, probably next year HA: Do you have any plans to release solo material at the moment? Paul: Hopefully, but only if it’s good, I’m not going to put any old crap out. HA: Where do you'll think you'll be in another nine years time? Where would you LIKE to be? Paul: Probably finishing my solo album, but I’d really like to be in bed being lazy. (難怪會發胖-___-#) HA: Thank you very much for taking time to answer our questions and best of luck with Kleptomania and all your forthcoming projects. Paul: No problem, thanks 4 being interested. Thanks to Mike Gourlay for passing on and returning the questions, and particularly Paul Draper for taking the time to respond. -- All come crashing down, your desperate icon. You've got to gob on, your desperate icon. You'll all come crashing in, your desperate icon You've got to gob on, your desperate icon. Am I a God or am I Jesus? Am I a man or am I a boy?
