Topley/Swans/Sea

Martina Topley Bird (top name, too) is interviewed in the Grauniad today (see yesterday's Cale comment and others passim) on the occasion of her album coming out. She featured on Tricky's album Ponderosa, which I've managed never to hear. There's mention of her havving been a big fan of the Chili Peppers , Jane's Addiction and (touring Britain soon, music fans) Fishbone.
She is dressed down when I meet her in jeans and a T-Shirt celebrating the Swans, an obscure if influential hardcore art-punk group from the 80s.
I wouldn't say they were that obscure. Ut are obscure. Hugo Largo are a bit obscure. Not Swans.
Hmmm. Apparently before she took up recording, she was going to study Oceanography, and says she still might.
Go for it, is my advice. There's not enough oceanography in popular music, in my opinion.
