I am a bit strange, but what exactly do you mean?

I think huh is refering to the fact that the interviewer asks Craig if any of the people who run these forums turn out to be strange when he meets them.

I think you should be answering no to this questions if you want any of the perks mentioned by Craig in his interview Smile

Ah...of course...utter misunderstanding on my part. And a good point, perhaps I should edit the post!

Since Craig has thrown his toys out of the pram in the 'Elboys' thread, I'll just give this thread a gentle *bump* back to the top to keep him happy.

Very Happy

Subject: Re: Craig Potter Appreciation Thread Wed 16 Jul 2008, 14:06

All hail Craig! cheers

Subject: Re: Craig Potter Appreciation Thread Thu 07 Aug 2008, 20:15

Oh, I am so not forgetting my camera in October. Heed my words Craig, your image will be captured by a tall redhead in the balcony Suspect

And then said image is going straight into this thread!

Subject: Re: Craig Potter Appreciation Thread Mon 11 Aug 2008, 22:07

Craigs best moments.....

Piano: 'Friend of Ours', 'Great Expectations', 'Scattered Black and Whites', 'Powder Blue'.

Organ: 'McGregor', ''I've Got Your Number', 'Any Day Now'.

Cool Noise: 'Coming Second', 'Leaders of the Free World (synth part)', 'My Very Best'.

Craig is a musical genius and we should all respect his amazing musical ear and brain for what he has achieved with Elbow. He is a fantastic pianist and producer who seems to really be an integral part of the music.

Long Live The Potter Brothers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

xx.

The playing on Scattered Black and Whites amazes me every time, particularly the short, low, note which he plays in a very unexpected timing, but it works so well.
