R Stevie Moore in particular is about 400 albums ahead of Captain Thinscarf.

Martin Newell would also like a word.

Mr Parker, you seem to have a lot of top musicians clamouring to collaborate with you. What makes you so special?

Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce the Godfather of bedroom pop Mr Daniel Bedingfield

[Amy Lawn]

His work was more in the field of carhole.

Didn't know he'd been involved. Only came across their last album, was ok but didn't leave me wanting more. Couple of tracks I really liked though. Worth exploring the back catalogue a bit?

Yeah, they've only got one other album, which he produced I believe (they were a couple at this point, hence him becoming less involved!).

As I recall, the first album doesn't have a duff song on it:

Ha - just listened to it for the first time in years on my shitty laptop.  Sounded great! Album is also great (that's the only one in French though).

Not gonna lie, I didn't even notice it was in french. The title should of been a bit of a give away but I will blame it on the speakers!

Maybe you're bilingual but you just haven't noticed?

[Slugy]

I might secretly be able to speak french but bilingual would still be a bit of a stretch because I can barely speak my native tongue.

There were 30-50 of them, what else was he supposed to do?

I don't like the 'pop' analogy... there is fuck all pop about Tame Impala/Kevin Parker in my opinion.

All that aside... the guy is a friggin genius and Tame Impala are brilliant. 

[Quark]

So @MillyBee what say you to all of this? Why do you think he of the flowing locks is so popular?

We're talking about the same band right? I think they're perfectly nice without ever quite being amazing, but they're absolutely at the  poppiest limit of that whole post-Ariel Pink hypnagogic pop/chillwave scene.

I think you and I have different definitions of what "pop" music is....

This just sounds like a Pitchforkified Josephine to me. That's not a criticism, but if it can't be described as a pop song then I really don't know what can.

Like I said we have difference ideas of what "pop" music is... this is what I call pop music.... just like all the taylor swift shite and the likes...

Kevin Parker has spoken about writing pop music for Tame Impala.

Very quick Google showed up this:

- If you could work with any artist, who would it be? Quelle serait votre collaboration idéale?
Britney Spears. I have a fetish for extremely sugary pop music. I’d like to try out my most fairy floss choruses on her.

Don't revel in ignorance, Grandad.  All the kids are into the K-Park Bedpop sounds.

... Bedroom Pop it was called.  I used to wear an onion on my belt as it was the fashion at the time.
