In the words of Sinatra, “Regrets, I’ve had a few…” This rollercoaster called showbiz has thrown up more than its fair share of curveballs and disappointments, but hey, that’s the price you pay for choosing the path of most resistance. No, I think I can generally say the benefit of hindsight would have only slightly altered my idiosyncratic approach to my ‘career’.
The thing I do regret, however, is not having enough cool haircuts. A full head of hair is now a dim and distant memory, but the yellowing photos in my dusty old albums speak of an opportunity squandered.
I would have loved to explore the rich variety of hair life, at peace in the barber’s chair.
One half-decent Fleet Foxes-style long-haired phase, a rubbish flat top à la Morrissey, and let’s not mention the Madchester-era bob! I would have loved to explore the rich variety of hair life, at peace in the barber’s chair… well, there’s still a wig, I suppose?

Cool!
Can definitely recognise some of these.
My big regret? Not having more confidence in what I was doing earlier and thinking that more kit would instil that confidence.

I´d wish Dan Curtin stayed on his initial path. Most of his earlier stuff is amazing.

I dig this. Attack you guys are absolutely killing it with these articles. I feel that this collective really aims to please the serious artists out here and not just cater to the business aspect. Yes, electronic music is getting much bigger but those of us that take it seriously still need an outlet and a space like this to gather information but also share ideas. Great stuff!
