Weird howling hippy Devandra Banhart has revealed that he was a massive fan of Britpop, loved Oasis, even went as far as Ocean Colour Scene, but "drew the line" at Menswear. The fool!
Speaking to The Guardian, who start dribbling into their muesli at every utterance of Banhart and his ilk, the singer said, "Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede, Elastica, blaring out of everywhere, I loved all that Britpop thing. I even liked Ocean Colour Scene. But I drew the line at Menswear! We'd go to the Britpop night every weekend. A lot of us even met there, listening to Oasis. We still blast 'Be Here Now' on the bus.'All Around The World', 'Girl In The Dirty Shirt', 'Don't Go Away', every song is amazing. I read it got some bad reviews... " No shit!
In more his more standard unwashed mumbo jumbo comments, Banhart revealed that a load of the recording budget for new album 'Thunder Canyon', named after his lentil eating brethren's arsecracks. Possibly. "We spent a quarter of this record's budget on crystals," Banhart enthused. "The label, XL, they struggled with it, but eventually they agreed. We had jasper, serpentine, lapis lazuli, jet, turquoise, mother of pearl, positioned all over the house, in circles, hexagrams, pentagrams, triangles, in every single corner, with the appropriate scents and essential oils sprinkled on them."
Does anyone else reckon Banhart looks like one of the urban campers who pesters people in the Old Street area? Beardy, wild eyes, smacked out of his gourd? "Can you spare any change for a doner kebab"; that fellow?
