:13:39. > :13:44.am bunked up, because I have a slight cold, but they say feed a
:13:45. > :13:50.cold, so I have decided to feed it with delightful music. These next
:13:51. > :13:51.artists took a year out to recharge themselves before creating a
:13:52. > :14:04.wonderful new record, MGMT. # He knows it's all right
:14:05. > :15:28.to live a life # Not knowing that your life
:15:29. > :16:20.is a lie Thank you, MGMT, Your Life Is A Lie.
:16:21. > :16:26.From the album temp -- from the album MGMT. I have a talented man in
:16:27. > :16:34.the studio, the band that they dare to call Suggs! Welcome to the show,
:16:35. > :16:46.nice to see do, I am sorry I have a cold. An amazing autobiography, you
:16:47. > :16:51.cannot put it down. It should be flunk with great force out of the
:16:52. > :16:59.train window. I saw somebody reading it like this. Fantastic. The first
:17:00. > :17:03.question has to be, why? Because he wanted to reflect on where you have
:17:04. > :17:11.been before you can move on, or because he wanted a load of money?
:17:12. > :17:20.Or both? A bit of both. A set of converging circumstances. It was my
:17:21. > :17:25.50th birthday party, I was contemplating the half-century on
:17:26. > :17:32.the planet. My cat fell off the shelf and died beside me. It was
:17:33. > :17:36.very upsetting. A portent. Given the dreadful things that may or may not
:17:37. > :17:42.have happened to me, that tipped me over the edge into contemplating
:17:43. > :17:49.what I have been doing. A lot of great things in here, it is funny
:17:50. > :17:56.and moving. You run the gamut. Where did Suggs come from? Legend has it
:17:57. > :18:01.that I decided to pick a new name for myself and I put a pin in an
:18:02. > :18:06.encyclopaedia of jazz musicians, and it stuck in the middle of the letter
:18:07. > :18:13.E of the name Peter. I thought, that is no good! Then, I read his second
:18:14. > :18:20.name, Suggs. Things fall into mythology, it was Peter Suggs, a
:18:21. > :18:32.drummer from Kentucky. He played piano as well. I wondered if there
:18:33. > :18:35.were any other parallels? Probably, but the coincidence starts to strike
:18:36. > :18:45.more coincidently, the older you get! I was just saying that! You
:18:46. > :18:54.have met so many more people, been through so many more situations.
:18:55. > :19:01.Touchingly, you have dedicated a chapter to Television Centre. You
:19:02. > :19:06.were there when it closed. I was talking to your producer, who
:19:07. > :19:10.invited us to play at the closing, and he gave me a last chapter to the
:19:11. > :19:16.book. I was finding it difficult to round off. I be lysed in the end,
:19:17. > :19:25.having closed the jubilate, the Olympics, I then closed Television
:19:26. > :19:29.Centre, which are in the market for closing things! Cyprus and the Post
:19:30. > :19:44.Office have been on the phone! We have got a clip right now.
:19:45. > :19:59.# Our house. # In the middle of our street.
:20:00. > :20:08.# Our house. # That was where we used to sleep.
:20:09. > :20:18.Also, you have been doing a fantastic one-man show, how would
:20:19. > :20:23.you describe it to people who have not seen it? A musical, semi-tragic
:20:24. > :20:31.comedy, laugh a minute, fantastic but nonsense. It is a must see. It
:20:32. > :20:39.describes my life story. If you are nervous about buying the book, come
:20:40. > :20:45.and see me in December. If they have come to see you, and they have
:20:46. > :20:49.bought the book, what do they do then? Can they go on holiday with
:20:50. > :20:54.you? Maybe we should take them on holiday together! Please do not ask
:20:55. > :21:04.me what I am doing next, it is grinding to a halt! I am finally
:21:05. > :21:07.finished, talking about myself. It is wonderful to have Suggs on the
:21:08. > :21:17.show, with his superb book. Thank you, Suggs. The greatest living
:21:18. > :21:32.Englishman! Now, an amazing singer from Brighton, Passenger.

:42:18. > :42:20.corner, I am delighted to meet the man who was performing for us so
:42:21. > :42:32.brilliantly there, for the first time on this show, Lloyd Cole.
:42:33. > :42:37.Welcome to the show. I have given my cold to Suggs! A great new record,
:42:38. > :42:46.Bob Dylan was instrumental in new putting this together? I suppose so,
:42:47. > :42:53.I reviewed Tempest last year, and I was blown away by how he does not
:42:54. > :42:57.change what he is doing. It is possible but in the last ten years I
:42:58. > :43:02.might have been too worried about what was age-appropriate music, so I
:43:03. > :43:10.decided to see what would happen if I did not think about it. You are
:43:11. > :43:15.going back to your earlier roots. It is an electric pop record, which is
:43:16. > :43:20.what I'd use today. I have been getting quieter over the years, and
:43:21. > :43:24.this is loud again. You have not been on the show before, it is nice
:43:25. > :43:31.to have you here. At the beginning of the show, we say, where would you
:43:32. > :43:38.like us to say you are from, but you wanted to be from Glasgow, New York
:43:39. > :43:44.and Buxton. Is it possible? Yes, I was born in Buxton, I am an honorary
:43:45. > :43:54.Glaswegian, and I have lived in New York for a long time. Home now is in
:43:55. > :43:58.Massachusetts. I am there purely out of inertia, I have two kids and
:43:59. > :44:04.their wife, I would rather be in Whitby. It is very nice! We have a
:44:05. > :44:19.clip of you, that have a look. # Too easily.
:44:20. > :44:57.# Too easily. What year is that? 1985.
:44:58. > :45:04.Terrifying! The same year that you saw me and Miles Davis talking on
:45:05. > :45:10.the television. It was hilarious, he wanted to talk about his drawings of
:45:11. > :45:21.his wife, primarily from behind. That did have a hand in the
:45:22. > :45:28.inspiration for the song I signed earlier, Women's Studies. I said to
:45:29. > :45:35.Miles Davis, you connect your visual art with your music? He paused, it
:45:36. > :45:48.got to the end of the interview, and he said, yeah, sure. What are you
:45:49. > :45:54.going to do for us next? An old one, Perfect Skin. A nice band you have
:45:55. > :46:03.got with you as well. It is good to see you, Lloyd Cole. Everywhere this
:46:04. > :46:06.man goes, people love him, he has been on tour with me, he is great,
:46:07. > :46:19.he is Passenger. # I know a man
:46:20. > :46:24.with nothing in his hands # He told me about
:46:25. > :46:27.when his house burnt down # They were gonna ask
:46:28. > :46:35.his mother to choose # She said one day her husband
:46:36. > :47:38.went to get a paper # Mortgage to pay
:47:39. > :47:40.and four kids to raise # She said, "The wolf's just a puppy
:47:41. > :47:42.and the door's double locked # "Now he left a hole in my heart
:47:43. > :47:45.a hole in a promise # "Oh, now that he's gone
:47:46. > :47:48.well, life carries on # "And I miss him like
:47:49. > :47:49.a hole in the head!" # Well sometimes you can't change
:47:50. > :47:56.and you can't choose # And sometimes it seems
:47:57. > :48:04.you gain less than you lose # Now we've got holes in our hearts
:48:05. > :48:12.yeah, we've got holes in our lives # Where we've got holes,
:48:13. > :48:21.we've got holes but we carry on # Where we've got holes
:48:22. > :48:24.in our hearts # Where we've got holes
