Because since I wrote that album, there’s a whole thing about nepo babies. It was all a mirage past that.īaxter : Yeah, sort of disappointing. But yeah, the Japanese organic sweets threw me off. It was really exciting, because you knew what you wanted. I think you’re the first person I’ve ever thought to myself, I’ll reach out on social media on the off chance … Then I was thinking about all the sessions, and how you had a very specific way of working. ![]() JGrrey : I was thinking about this the other day, about how ridiculous it is that I slid in your DMs, really - which I’ve never done, by the way. You accused me of being really posh, because you saw me eating organic Japanese snacks. That was what you’d call a hairline fracture, where my class myth was broken. JGrrey : If people knew the snacks that you were eating in the studio…īaxter : That was the incriminating point. I haven’t seen you not wearing a really smart suit and a vest for a while.īaxter : In my promo, I was thinking that the valley between the character that I’ve created - as a sort of sleazy persona - and the realities of my couscous and avocado and early night is so vast now… Have you done something different with - oh, you know what it is? You’re not wearing a suit. JGrrey : Well, I quite enjoy seeing you, so we’ll keep it on for now. It’s a performance.īaxter : I don’t like it. I’m narcissistic and like, Maybe this angle is better … Then it’s not a conversation, is it? If you can see yourself, it’s not a conversation. JGrrey : I think it’s, you’re suddenly aware of how much attention you’re commanding, isn’t it? Especially when the camera will change to you speaking and everyone’s hanging on your word, as to whether you’re going to conclude or resolve or are you just going to talk rubbish.īaxter : I realize how many quirky and weird facial expressions I have, and I don’t like it. Why does Zoom make me feel like I’ve done something wrong? Do you get a Zoom syndrome?īaxter : I feel guilty. Annie Fell, Editor-in-chief, Talkhouse Musicīaxter Dury : I can say that I’m on my seventh zoom of the day.īaxter : I get a Zoom syndrome. JGrrey contributed to Baxter’s new record, I Thought I Was Better Than You, is out tomorrow via Heavenly Recordings, so to celebrate, the two hopped on a Zoom call to catch up about its recording, about being an “economy nepo baby,” and much more. ![]() On the album, the song is credited to "Walker," which is the only clue given as to its provenance.Baxter Dury is a London-based musician and author, who’s collaborated with the likes of Sleaford Mods and Fred Again (and is the son of Ian Dury, frontman of Ian Dury & the Blockheads) JGrrey is a fellow London-based musician, who just released her latest single “Boys?”. Having said that, the band at the time, which is at times very capable on FHR, sounds a bit flatfooted on this one. Nevertheless, it is a fine enough little number, and it probably deserved a few more airings before it went the way of all Fall flesh. ![]() "Breaking the Rules" as such was played live only once, the day after FHR was released, and then sent out to pasture. After resting the song for over a year, it reemerged in late 2005 on Fall Heads Roll with new lyrics and a different chorus aside from these changes, it is still recognizably "Walk Like a Man." The lyrics, it turns out, are by Bec Walker, who was 17 at the time and recording in the same studio. The Fall kept at it, however, playing "Walk Like a Man" 23 times in 20. This worked about as well as one would expect-the song was a half-baked mess with, at best, some novelty appeal, although probably a bit less of that than Divine's 1985 rendition has. ![]() This began its life as a cover of, of all things, "Walk Like a Man," the 1963 #1 hit by the Four Seasons.
