I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.

A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.

It's easy to be lazy when there's food lying around backstage or there's a fast-food joint a couple blocks away. But if you walk a little further, ask around a bit, of course there are exciting things to discover.

Of course, there's a certain type of person who feels that anything which becomes mainstream has to be rejected immediately. And that's part of the indie-alternative snobbery and hierarchy and elitism.

Glasgow's not a media center. When you're there, when you're hanging about, you feel quite detached from musical movements or fashions or anything like that. You do feel quite alone, in a good way.

You really only understand whether a song's good or not when you properly play it out in public for the first time.
