Cesar Sangwa: ilikemusic because... it's there for me through thick and thin, highs and lows. I think about it when I wake up, and when I close my eyes to sleep. I like music because I'm in love with it!

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.
dawn Leonetti: ilikemusic because... it makes me spin, giggle and bubble up - kinda my own Rice Crispies cereal ("snap, crackle, pop") in the audio form...
Jarrah waia: I like music coz iam a dancer and i rip it up
Aaron, The Delays: ilikemusic because... It makes everything seem like an incredible film. And it does - it actually does! hahaha! I told the truth and everything....hahaha!
Kelly Rowland: ilikemusic because... Music sets me free. It’s freedom.
lorennn: ilikemusic because... its brilliant. music is life. life would suck without music (:
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.
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.

The Stereo MCs Interview Themselves

You are here: I Like Music > interviews > The Stereo MCs Interview Themselves

Nick: Do you think we could get another LP out by next Christmas 2009?

Rob: Live in the present my brother.

Nick: How has your songwriting changed since you started living by the sea?

Rob: It hasn't. I don't. And I'm ready when you are bro.

Rob's Questions To Nick

Rob: Describe your way of life…

Nick: 50% freestyle - listening, writing, playing, running, shopping, family when we're at home and writing and recording. 50% finely organized when we're on tour.

Rob: Festival food, hotel food or service station food - give preference and illustrate?

Nick: None! It's a lucky dip, mostly crap but occasional gems.

Rob: What's your ideal destination - A - For a gig? B - For a break? C - For creative work? D - For your mind and soul?

Nick: A. Greece - climate, food and people. B. Home C. Our spot for recording doesn't matter where, as long as we're feeling it. D. Bed

Rob: Which of your senses is most valuable?

Nick: Sense of perspective! If I'm having a bad day I've just gotta check myself and remember what I do for a living and how much worse it could be.

Rob: Does your life in music nurture talents or skills that you didn't realise you had, or would use, or would need?

Nick: Not sure about nurture, but I need to use skills I probably never particularly wanted to use, such as accounting, diplomacy, and organizational skills. None of which are really much to do with making music.

Rob: Name three people, things or places that inspire or rescue you when times are ruff?

Nick: My wife, my daughter, my cats and beauty in music, art and film.
