I love how Mark always turned the questions on the interviewer if he smelt a hint of preconception in their question ("I can already imagine what you'll say about this"). It's as though he instantly wants to answer on the contrary and throw them off so as to not give them the satisfaction of feeling grounded or comfortable, his entire being was dedicated to being anything but predictable.

Has a hilarious genuine laugh. I think his reputation precedes him in that regard. He just doesn't tolerate stupidity which I've always found admirable. I just wish I could make out more of what he's actually saying.

the reason you probably cant understand what he's saying is because he's nearly deaf (35 years of live music will do that to you) , thats why he had to have the bloke asking the questions repeat shit over and over. I listen to the fall really loudly in my car for like an hour every day and Im nearly deaf imagine hearing the real thing night after night lolo.
