A Fine Frenzy chats to I Like Music
Alison - I love the new 'The Shin's' album - that's a firm favourite, but also the Bright Eyes album 'Cassadaga', that's really good.
ILM - Have you seen 'The Shin's' this year?
Alison - No I haven't, and I have rarely seen any shows at all this year. Although I went to see an Interpol show in London which was amazing. I'd only been familiar with their singles before and hadn't delved into them but I really enjoyed it.
ILM - If you could have written any other song, from any other artist, what would it be?
Alison - Have you ever heard 'First Day Of My Life' by Bright Eyes? Oh! It's perfect! He's absolutely brilliant. And I know I could never have written any Sigur Ros songs. Just to be in the room with them would be.....I don't even know how they can write their songs?! I watched Heima yesterday and it was spectacular. I'm usually a real fidgeter- the only time I'm not is when I am playing music, in which case I forget everything else in the world - but when I watched it yesterday, I just sat still and entranced whilst resting with tea!

Peter Cincotti: ilikemusic because... Of what the world would be without it. It’d be a very scary place. I think we’d all be screwed.
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Chris, Orson: ilikemusic because... Well, is there anything else? Music is the perfect thing, it makes you feel good, it makes you feel sad, it makes you feel happy, what else is there?
Chuck, Simple Plan: ilikemusic because... It was always a way to escape whatever problems I was going through; whatever trouble I had, I could just put on a record or a song and feel better right away and I hope that our music can have the same effect on our fans.
Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.
James Blunt: ilikemusic because... conversation is so limited. It’s the best form of expression we have.
MARS: ilikemusic because... tom kelly is a great producer and Mark Angelo Studios in London is the best place to record your record!

Ciarran, The Feeling: ilikemusic because... I find it constantly inspiring and it’s a joy to listen to and a joy to play; it really is a huge part of my life.
