"The first album I had bought for me was ‘Sgt Pepper’s…’, but the first I bought for myself was ‘Nice Enough To Eat’, an Island sampler. As kids, we could never afford albums so everyone bought this, it was cheap – 99p. They were all quite hip groups – it had ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’, my first exposure to King Crimson, and ‘Time Has Told Me’ by Nick Drake. At the time being a Nick Drake fan was a very lonely life, but I was always into him.”"

"They're a fake rap posse from Saturday Night Live. When we were working on Contra we enjoyed this, because it's so funny. We often use humour to deal with the difficulties of our lifestyle and listening to this was a better way to get in a good mood than listening to any other kind of music. I was struck by the way their love of music came through. Being a music fan is goofy. It's about amassing all this useless knowledge, but you do it because there's something about it you love. Some people take that and turn it into something more serious. The Lonely Island turn it into something funny"
