The latest edition of MOJO magazine features Robert's assessment of Bob Dylan's 1997 album. It's typically well-written; authoritative, knowledgeable with all the trademark reference-points and insights. | ||

something I really like/appreciate about Robert is that he's still really passionate about new music. (As well - obviously - as old music.) I have to wonder how long ago it would have been since Sting or Phil Collins bought a new album? Robert often talks up bands (Belle & Sebastian, Grandaddy, Augie March) in interviews I've read with him over the last eight or so years since I've been a fan. The fact he's still passionate about music is very endearing. | ||

Grant did too. He recommended Sleepy Jackson to me in early 2002. It was the first I'd ever heard of them. I later told Luke Steele (who is Sleepy Jackson) about this and he seemed genuinely delighted. He had discovered The Go-Betweens through hearing The Clock! |
