From Quest For Wonder and Infinity Monkey Cage, to Game And Watch and books - we chat with the brilliant Robin Ince...
Robin Ince was on tour with Brian Cox in Australia when I had the pleasure of speaking with him, about Quest For Wonder, about Infinite Monkey Cage, and about – y’know – Statham.
That said, I also learned that he’s not one of those who checks into hotels under fake names – unlike Brian Cox, it seems – and after a lengthy bout of Australian on-hold music, we got chatting. Nerdiness lies ahead…
Let’s start with technology. What was your home computer growing up? I reckon you’d have been a Zx Spectrum person.
Do you know what, we didn’t have a home computer! I am so old, because I’m 47…
… that’s not old!
But for computers, the most computer-y thing I had was a Game And Watch.
