Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx and Louis Gordon Australia Tour

I thought to keep this out of the 'announcements' thread (as it is now SO much more than that) we ought to have a new thread here.

Thanks for the myspace link to three interviews - they are all excellent.
You can read the Rip It Up interview by Scott McLennan - entitled 'Trash and Treasure' - here:

The courier mail one is the FULL TEXT of an edited interview hosted here: (previously flagged up by Member D

In my (limited) experience, we are lucky to get these unedited transcripts. fantastic insight - thanks to Steve and John for posting

I can't find the third one online anywhere else, and the myspace site doesn't give any credits or references. It could be an interview with John just for his own site and 'us'?.
Thanks to MemberD again for the heads up.

All very exciting stuff (even if some of the content is 'repurposed' between interviews ...)

Crikey, some line breaks wouldn't go amiss!

Not sure what you mean...

Post (and links) all look fine for me

I find the Rip It Up article and the full Courier-Mail interview on MySpace quite difficult to scan/read due to the formating - or lack of.

But despite that, this current set of interviews are proving to be very interesting indeed

I see. :rolleyes:

Yes indeed. Myspace leaves a lot to be desired...

Oh JOY!! Thanks for the heads-up about the interviews, Martin.

The 3rd interview is very funny. It should get more people interested in attending the Australian gigs. Not just because it is funny, but the way John uses words, which can only be described as 'Metapoetry'.

It's fired my mind up, that's for sure!

..only just spotted this thread, but Martin you did right to start a new one.
Tried to get more info on the 'uncredited' interview on myspace but can't post comments for some reason.
Very entertaining interview; he gets better and better.

Glad to read John's also listening to Ghost Box recordings and Burial...things some of us have been muttering on about in the Green Room for a year or so now - perhaps John reads the Forum! *gulp*!

Just did another search on the local Google.

Here's a review of the Brisbane show Xray Dubs

Here's some twit who doesn't have a clue! Four Thousand

Here's a promo in a local music mag with some comments music mag

And here's some Goths who seem to think John's one of them! Clueless Goths

"As the vocalist for '80s legends Ultravox!, John Foxx did a lot of dancing with tears in his eyes"

- What?!

"If you were/are a fan of Ultravox!, or just cheesy '80s synth-pop in general..."

- WHAAT?!
