Cat Power - Shot at Bush Hall in London for Careless Talk Cost Lives late 2002, I think this would have made a nice cover but we went with Nick Cave & Erase Errata instead, we should have done 3 different covers for that issue!
Frank Black - This is from a session for Frank Black & The Catholics “Dog In The Sand” album, it was taken in San Francisco, 2000 where they were recording, the car belongs to FB, we removed the number plate for obvious reasons, I did this with a poisoned thumb.
The Flaming Lips - Taken for the NME in 1999 at Holborn studios in London, they went with a far less dynamic picture of Wayne for the cover, should have used this one!
David Holmes - This was taken outside my studio in Bow, East London for Go Beat in 1997, it was used as a promotional photo for his ‘Let’s Get Killed’ album.
At The Drive-In - Live in San Diego for NME in 2000 shortly before they split.
