Nardwuar: Who are you?
Dave Vanian: I have no idea.
Nardwuar: You're Dave Vanian of The Damned!
Captain Sensible: I'm Phil Collins and buy my
records 'cause I need some hair restorer.
Nardwuar: You're Captain Sensible of The
Damned!
Captain Sensible: Ahh, thank you. Thank you
very much ladies and gentlemen.
. . .
Nardwuar: That's kind of Canadian. Billy
Cowsill, he lives in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada. CS and...
Dave Vanian: Ahh, yeah!
Captain Sensible: The Cowsills, yeah! [sings]
"The rain, the park and other things, ta-da ta-da,
da-da da-da... "
Nardwuar: What's Captain Sensible's obsession
with Billy Cowsill there?
Dave Vanian: He loves the Cowsills.
Captain Sensible: They're an exceedingly
good band and I think a Cowsill revival would
be long overdue. In actual fact, you know how
bands have got website things going on? I
checked out the Cowsills website. They've got
this new album out called Global, actually. So I
bought it on the internet and they took my
money and sent me the record. And it's jolly
good as well. I think, you know, there's a lot to
be said for the Cowsills, and the internet. The
great thing about the internet is that obscure
things - there's no one in Britain who likes the
Cowsills - so you can get in touch with people
who equally have this Cowsills fetish.
