Pete Tong chats to I Like Music
Just start giving it to everybody around you and, if it's any good, you'd be amazed how quickly it'll get to me. And, even if you send it to me direct, it might not get to the top of the pile straight away. If it is any good, if people are rating it, it'll come back to me pretty quickly.
ILM: Do you have a driving play list? What do you listen to when driving?

ILM: Finally, I've got to ask, how does it feel being rhyming slang for a word (ie 'it's all gone Pete Tong', 'it's all gone wrong'?
PETE: Yeah, great. I've always been very chuffed about that.
ILM: And what's the biggest example of something going Pete Tong for Pete Tong?
PETE: The most regular thing to 'go Pete Tong' is travel nightmares. The great bonus of what we do is that we get to travel the world and go to exotic places with someone else paying and it's all fantastic. But, quite often, you end up having airport hell. This summer has actually been a bit rocky. I've been stuck in airports for six hours and nearly missed gigs due to plane delays; that's the most common thing [to go 'Pete Tong'.]
And, the most amazing thing is just being in beautiful places; you've just got reflect on that, how lucky you are.
ILM: I guess you've been doing this for some time now, so you can reflect on those things.
PETE: Yeah, I'm getting better at that.page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >>

Keane: ilikemusic because... It’s the way we express ourselves
Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
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.
Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.

Taio Cruz: ilikemusic because... It’s my life and it’s the air that I breathe. It calms me when I’m feeling uptight and it’s there for me when I want to party if I want to listen to something up tempo, it’s just amazing in any situation. That’s why I like music!
