So thinking “I could do that.” I began reaching out online, attempting to track down all those bands and artists of Manchester who moved me so much as a kid, and somehow get an interview. Iggy Pop Posters & Prints Iggy Pop At Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, USA, 1996 Print (2/2) Iggy Pop Loco Mosquito Cover Photoshoot, England, 1979 Print.
At 36 I’d just got online, it was around 2010 and I found much music press on the net was being done by fans, not just journalists. And with respect going both ways Weymouth, like many other established bass players, acknowledged Paul’s work and talent.įor me though, later on, as a struggling semi-recovering addict on benefits, I got the chance to meet and talk to him. I found Talking Heads just by catching the odd influence Paul would mention in the music press, which to me so made much sense when I first heard them, and of course Tina Weymouth’s bass, who he would in fact go on to work with on the recording of the Mondays final LP Yes Please.
(A great idea suggested on Twitter by Mondays’ drummer Gaz Whelan’s brother ‘Jase’, would be to “re-release Tart Tart as a tribute in Paul’s honour – what a tune, what a baseline”).
