Not talented? Then don't make music, says Twin Shadow


George Lewis Jr, the outrageously coiffured 80s revivalist, has conducted an interview with the website Crack in the Road. And, no, I've never heard of it either. It's only a short piece, part of which is taken up with the interviewer's grievance at not being able to get tickets to Coachella, but it features a frank slice of advice from the Twin Shadow man - electronica's answer to Morrissey - on what aspiring musicians should do if they are a little short of ability.

"CitR: Got any tips for up and coming artists?

Twin Shadow: If you don’t think you’re good at it, find something else to do. The world doesn’t need anymore musicians. So if you’re really good at it, then hang in. If you have the slightest thing going that you’re not, find something that you like to do. Don’t just do it because there’s nothing else to do."

Harsh words from the hairdo. Read the interview here
