Scouting For Girls interview
Y'know those lists people do of important things everyone should experience before they die? And you know how they are always ridiculously silly things like 'making a hot air balloon out of a Primark carrier bag and using it to fly to the moon, then doing some shopping at Top Moon and flying back in time for tea'? Well, here's another unlikely treat which I can thoroughly recommend...making a pop star giggle.
Seriously, the waves of self-esteem and joy which come over you when you've made some singer chortle - even if it's a singer whose work leaves you cold - well, it's up there with 'your main crush catching your eye and staring back' or 'the day 'Umbrella' was knocked off No.1' for giddy thrills.
And if you wish to hear an example of this happening, you could do worse than give this little interview a listen. It's with Roy out of Scouting For Girls, and it largely concerns the sexual double-meaning behind the band's name, specifically in relation to the modern Boy Scout movement and the badges you can earn if you're a member.
The bit where I reveal the very first badge, and he howls? Well, if you listen carefully, you can hear the total justification of my entire existance. Yes I'm THAT shallow...
What I Expected: A bit of banter about sauce and scouting...perhaps a few scenarios which are unsuitable for a family audience...to wish I had written some real questions...
What I Did Not Expect: The history of scouts who become astronauts...people with too much time on their hands..."give me three rings"...
