really fun article (and accompanying podcast!) about bands who are inspired by authors and vice versa. the author — sneakmove superhomie tim molloy — talks to bret easton ellis and bloc party’s kele okereke. what a great read!
“I remember when I was, like, in my teens reading about bands who had been influenced by writers, thinking ‘Whoa, that’s really cool,’” Ellis said in a recent interview from his home in Los Angeles. “And I’d think, ‘God, those writers are so old. God that’s so wild. Does that really happen in the adult world?’
“And then, boom, it does. And you realize, Jesus, I’m 42. … People half my age are writing songs because they’ve been influenced by books I’ve written.”
