Comedy bloke loves Marmite Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy and his discerning tastes
FHM, April 1997
Waking up to…
REM – Get Up "I’d put this very apt rock ‘n’ roll on while I collected myself, and prepared for my boiled egg and Marmite soldiers."
Having Breakfast…
The Cardigans – Beautiful One "I love the Cardies despite myself. They’re somewhat superficial, but get past the image and they’re actually rather complicated."
Dressing to…
Underworld – Born Slippy "I don’t want to go out – I’d love to stay indoors all the time. As something workmanlike to get me out of the door, this makes be feel E’d up – on clothes."
Strolling to…
Michael Nyman – The Draughtsman’s Contract "This keeps one pacing along. He’s very pulsing and vibrating. I saw him at the Edinburgh festival and I gave him my LP and said, ‘Please don’t sue.’"
Taking tea to…
Ravel – Pavenne For A Dead Princess "While having my Earl Grey and a water biscuit with peanut butter and Branston on it, I’d listen to this and cry into my tea."
Meeting a lover to…
Roxy Music – Do The Strand "I’d meet her at a betting shop and we’d hear this early glam song. We wouldn’t go in though – think of the people you’d meet."
Having dinner to…
John Barry – Film Scores "It would have to be Midnight Cowboy – the song goes round and round and gets lost up its own arse."
Seduction sounds…
John Coltrane and Don Cherry – The Avant Garde "This is very much the thing. Basic quartet jazz, with a rather odd edge – just like me – to confuse this person just enough to get them off their guard."
Sleeping to…
Blur – Beetlebum "I can’t normally sleep when music’s on, because I listen too intensely. But I’ll make an exception for Blur."
