"The kooky kinky lyricist, the neo-noir pin-up, the thinking women's dark and twisted crumpet. He is the ring leader of the travelling freakshow that is his mind and we should all be grateful that someone has control over it. Well, most of the time.

My interview with Joe Black is in the latest issue of Devolution available to pre-order now.
