I love that you were an indie kid. It fascinates me how so many indie songs are inspired by literature, and I've found in turn that those songs have inspired my writing.
It's also interesting to see how many people who've been in indie bands end up writing books. I was knocking about in the 90s, so for Brett Anderson and Louise Wener - two of 90s indie's interesting lyricists - writing books seems just perfect to me.
My partner was on the edge of the 80s Glasgow indie scene. A friend of his was dating a girl who was really into the cutie end of it and she made him turn a skipping rope for her in the middle of the street. The opposite end of that scene was the Jesus and Mary Chain, I suppose.
Glasgow has produced so many bands that you'll keep walking into people from bands. The last time I was there, I went into a record shop and Lawrence from Felt (I think it was him) was behind the counter. We went for lunch in the place where some of Franz Ferdinand used to work. Then I walked down a street near Glasgow Central and Manda Rin from Bis was coming in the other direction.
