Hello to you Mr Wolfmother
Hi Slashmusic
What's your least favourite smell?
I think it was when I was a kid and went to visit a friend's house – he was one of those weird kids - you know the ones who throw rocks - and his parents mus've taken talcum powder to the extreme. Also in Australia in the 80s, you could buy these horrible, sterile generic houses from a catalogue and it was one of those.
Who do you think smells just by looking at them?
Probably Bob Geldof. He’s worn that same sweaty jumper for the past 40 years and doesn’t shave. And I bet he’s had the same dandruff for years!
So, for all his moralising, he can’t have a good wash?
Yeah. He needs a good old once over and scrub. I think he likes being dirty. Some people do.
Like tramps?
Yeah! Some people have a kinda dirty smell that I like. There was one girl I used to know, she had this earthy smell that I couldn’t work out but it drove me nuts. In a good way.
Nice. Have you ever been scared by a wasp?
Yes, I had a terrible wasp experience when I was a kid. We drove out to some shitty little dam, in the middle of nowhere. Some barren, crap- up dam with some fat bastard getting drunk in the back of his speedboat. So I went and sat down at the table and there's like a fucking mound of wasps by the football, I went to get it and got stung badly on the knee. That scarred me for life.
What going to the dam or the wasp?
The whole thing was a traumatic experience.
When did you last wish you were the opposite sex?
Probably the last time I watched a porn movie
Did you wish you were the girl in the porn movie or a girl watching the porn movie?
Actually, I didn't wish I was a woman but I just realised that men do reach a state of satisfaction. For a while thought man was the leader, the powerful one. You watch these pornos and these women just never seem satisfied and I'm like, 'Holy shit. I'm pathetic there's no way I can do this.'
Don't believe what you see on porn movies!
That makes me feel better. These women just keep on going and going and they can fake it and pretend. It just makes me think, 'Oh man. All these women have been humouring me all my life.' I mean, whatever happened to the old pornos where it was a nice office scenario, you know there's a receptionist, the man comes in and there are nice brown curtains and it was like a humble fantasy. Now, the dude has flames tattooed on his arms, piercings every where and they’re in some domestic dwelling shot on a Handicam with these horrible people grunting. It's all so aggressive.
And they make unnatural noises.
Yeah!
And they give us the wrong impression.
Yeah. Where’s the mystery? Where’s the fantasy and role play?
Where’s the love Andrew?
Yeah! Where is the love, you know?
