"Only because it’s everybody’s number one choice. I kinda feel, in this day and age — not to be sounding bad in any way — we live in a culture where something’s good, and some people will say it’s awesome, and they may not have even seen it or they didn’t like it. But they want to agree with the cultural zeitgeist. I feel like that movie has stood up to time [and] criticism, and yet everybody can find the exact same reasons as to why it’s awesome. I mean, it’s so well-written. It’s a slow movie that you’re still riveted by. It’s [got] character development unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. And of course, the performances are wild."

"McCarthy are indie icons of ours – we’ve covered at least three of their songs. They showed how you could fuse music and politics. They were one of the great protest bands but it was never the gurning, spittle-in-your-face confrontational stance that some bands take. There was always some kind of sarcasm in there that would cut its subject down to its knees, and this lyric is a perfect example of that. It talks to working-class disaffection and foreshadows New Labour’s obsession with gentrification and trying to drag people into the new culture with Wi-Fi and coffee houses everywhere: “Once there was class war/ But not any longer/ Because, baby, we are all bourgeois now.”"
