Every time I signed an interesting band, they'd ignore me. We are the alternative, because all the alternative bands out there that are getting pre-packaged and sold, they're just playing the game. Pop groups to me are more honest. Oasis sold 15 million. But the truth of the matter is that numbers don't mean anything.
Influence means something.
My Bloody Valentine is more influential than any band I've ever seen. McGee also gave us his opinion on the state of the British music press, which, given the fact that both Select and Melody Maker have folded in the years, is pretty much dead. So they deserved to go down. If you don't have an opinion, get off the stage. But we can never forget that Poptones is more than just a label.
