HaHa! Thanks, ribbons.

Basically, I prefer the Bowie mix because it's so weird and disjointed! The Iggy mix, although it has its merits (e.g., you can actually hear the Ashetons), just propels everything up into the reds with all that clipping and Iggy's voice pushed way too much to the fore. To me, it makes the band sound too much like a conventional rawk band for loudness' sake - and The Stooges should always sound CHEAP, lol.
The Stooges show that 99% of rawk bands are tepid cowards who wouldn't know sonic violence from a loud burp. Iggy Mix makes them obsolete.

1. What’s your main source of news?

These days it's about 90% online news sites and 10% newspapers & magazines.

2. When did you last give/get flowers?

I can't recall ever receiving flowers from anyone but I like to give roses to girlfriends all the time.

3. When were you last at the cinema?

I went to see 'The Damned: Don't You Wish That We Were Dead' in 2015. I only went because a friend had an extra free ticket to the premiere and I dig The Damned, so I accepted his invitation. Before that I hadn't been in a cinema since November of 2000.

4. What was/is your favourite subject at school?

Art.

5. What’s your level of expertise in swimming?

I took swimming lessons for a few weeks each year from the age of 5 through the age of 13, and I swim & snorkel whenever I get the chance. Not sure what my level of expertise might be, though.

6. What are three things you would do if you won the lottery?

It depends on the amount I'd be left with after taxes. If it was a few million, I'd take 5% to 10% and spend it on travel, 1 or 2 or 3 cars, maybe a sailboat, houseboat or motorboat, and invest the rest and give a percentage to worthy charities each year.
