My admiration for Luke Jenner, lead vocalist for The Rapture, is rapidly increasing based on his ability to survive being interviewed by an idiot, for a magazine aimed solely at wankers, and still come across well.
Your newer material is more dancey than your early punk songs. How did that happen?
I've lived in New York since 1999, and it’s a groovy place. You have to groove, or you end up getting flattened. It’s dance or die.
By no means the dumbest question, but the best answer. All of a sudden I have a new motto.
(There was also a great quip from Jenner buried in the News section of the last-but-one NME - something along the lines of "we're here to teach the youth of Great Britain that contrary to what they may have heard, disco doesn't suck, disco fucking rocks." Preach it!)
