Tim Finn's just made a new album with Andy White called ‘AT’ and beams in from his 110 year-old wooden house in New Zealand (“perfect acoustics”) with memories of his old bands and the records he grew up listening to. Which include …
… “I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell” - the adenoidal quality of Eddie Cochran.
… why ‘60s dances were “such horrifying affairs”.
… life living opposite ‘Sex’ in the King’s Road in 1976.
… the joy of recording remotely - “no rows!”
… forming Split Enz as an act of rebellion at boarding school and the fine details of their suits and haircuts.
… what watching Get Back tells you about the subtle art of diplomacy.
… the musical advantage of having an Irish mother.
… Brian Eno’s advice when recording with Phil Manzanera.
… teenage vocal spots singing Bee Gees’ numbers with local dance bands.
… and Bob Marley recording in the studio below “that BASS!”).
