Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Press interviews / reviews etc

A point of minor curiosity. John revealed that he is 63 years old here:

Never be nostalgic. It will kill you

There's another new interview with John online now by David Huente at Clubbing Spain (ouch!)

An excellent find.

Thanks for sharing it here Mike :-D

The latest interview with John and Benge is by the very lovely Ben Hogwood at musicomh.com

And it's a great read:

Exclusive interviews with John Foxx and Gary Numan in the debut issue of Electronic mag. Out now!

http://issuu.com/futurepublishing/docs/electronicmag/10

And at a gobsmacking £7.99 per issue, I can't see them getting that many readers! Pretty slim too, when you compare to the other mags...

I started a new thread elsewhere to give a heads up about the new mag,not realising it was already mentioned here.I bought a copy yesterday.

It's a good to have a mag that focuses on the kind of music that we like.There are some interesting articles.There is also a review of Ultravox's Brilliant which is positive but contains a number of errors(Yet more shoddy journalism).I have all bar one track on the accompanying cd already.My main bugbear is the price of £7.99. I don't understand how they can justify the price.Most music mags that come come with cds cost around a fiver.How can the publishers justify an extra £3!! I'm not too sure if I will buy it again in future.

Another exceptionally good interview with Jonty Skrufff now online:

While recently back in the UK and sorting through relics from my youth, to my surprise I unearthed a JF interview from May 1981 in an Sydney-based music weekly called Vox. I have not seen this paper since the early 1980's and certainly don't recall the article.

This was passed onto me by my father upon his return from a visit to Australia. He also gave me a Church single. In more recent years the Church have done a half-decent cover of 'Hiroshima Mon Amour'.

The third item my dad gave me was a Whitesnake album. The less said about that the better.

Linking the main double spread interview and the cover of Vox. The cover features the name of JF alongside a rather menancing picture of Peter Garratt from Midnight Oil.

Probably not revealing anything new but an enjoyable read all the same.
