No. 6: Cut Copy -- In Ghost Colours

                      

Tim Hoey of Cut Copy

What was the best show that you played?
The best show I did this year was at Roskilde Festival in Denmark. A very surreal moment for me, in my head I felt like Michael Jackson on the Bad tour. Epic! A night to remember forever.

What was the best show you went to?
I actually don't go to many shows at all, but I saw Dizzee Rascal at Glastonbury and he was amazing. He's got some mad skills. How can anyone spit that fast?

What was the best music festival that you attended?
The best festival I attended was a small festival up north in Sweden called Arvika. The sun was shining for a change and it was all very psychedelic.

What was your favorite single or individual song from 2008?
I'm such a bore, but yes, it was "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver. I don't have time to find other stuff! I love the lyrics in the song; "Cut off all the ropes and let me fall..."

What was your favorite album from 2008?
I'm gonna sound like a stalker but yes, Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago. Voice of an angel. Love songs never go out of style.

Your favorite new band or artist that you discovered in 2008?
This question keeps coming back again and again... I live in the past, so I would say Nancy Sinatra.

Best old band/artist that was still going in 2008?
Hmm.... I guess Tina Turner still has her mojo. I wouldn't know though, didn't see her, but I could imagine so.

What was the best 2008 tour lineup?
Lykke Li and El Perro del Mar

What album or song from 2008 did you play so much that now you never want to hear it again?
My own!!! Fucking hell I've done so many shows!

What moment from 2008 (personal or historical) will you always remember?
The Barack Obama win. And me almost dying.
