Beardyman chats to I Like Music
ILM: Your kitchen diaries thing has been viewed on YouTube about a gazillion times! What is your favourite recipe to cook or to have cooked for you?
Beardyman: I don't know?!.....er.....curry. I like curry.
ILM: I saw you on Lily Allen and friends the other day. How was that for you?
Beardyman: I don't know. Erm...it was quite an experience. It was a bit weird for me because it was my first big TV interview...actually the interview was better than the performance but they cut most of it out because she was grabbing Paddy McGuinnes drink and downing his red wine half way through questions.
It was a really weird experience. They pigeon holed me as this internet sensation when actually I've been playing live gigs for ages. Plus they didn't mention the fact I was beatbox champion. I think it was because that was the slot for the show and they wanted to make out that I was on the same level as the guy who did 'Chocolate Rain' when in actual fact I have quite a successful career that has taken off quite well, but they didn't want to mention it. So, all in all it wasn't a great experience. Also they didn't let me do what I wanted to do. I had this whole thing with guitars and beatboxing and they were like "We want a standard beatbox, we don't want to inspire people too much" and in the interview they said "Careful what you say to Lily, because she isn't a TV presenter.' And I'm like...why did you give her her own show then? So I ended up being really polite to her and then they made what I did less good than it was meant to be.

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.
Scott, Thin Lizzy: ilikemusic because... It lets my adrenalin start pumping, it gets aggression out, and sometimes I can actually get emotional with it. There are many reasons why I like music.
Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
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!
Kano: ilikemusic because... It brings people together. It makes people smile and dance, it makes people happy. I like the energy it gives off.
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.
Steve, Hard-Fi: ilikemusic because... Life is not worth living without it. Everything else could disappear, but music is the one thing that always remains with me throughout my entire life.
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.
