ILM: Can you give us your own personal description of your latest single Famous For Being Famous?

Colin: Sonically it's a bit more urgent and guitar-orientated than most of my Mull Historical Society material. It's a title I had for a while and seems to fit with the times. It's about a Zzzz-List celeb, searching for attention, who has left their old world behind, and no longer has the fame, but must keep in shape, doing press-ups with their toes incase a chance to present a toe makeover show springs up. It was based on Andy Warhol's 15 minutes prediction. He's always been a bit of a cultural influence of mine, but we didn't have many pop factories on Mull so I had to go to New York to find out more about him. The song begins with an 'Andy Warhol Said!' shout, which is the last thing I recorded for the new album, The Water. So, the video was always going to feature him, or my interpretation of him.
