I know, but that’s still what I remember. I loved hip-hop—that’s why I did it, because it’s something I actually knew about. From, like, ’88 to ’94 was my time. Black Moon was a great band. Enta da Stage [1993], Nas’s Illmatic [1994], and Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang [1993] all came out within a year, and it was mind-blowing because I was so deep into it. I love hip-hop.

I still really love DJ Premier’s production on Gang Starr, and Black Moon. It’s the sound of the beat and the production samples they use that I like.

Are you still listening to hip-hop in your spare time? It’s funny, I haven’t really been listening. Other than Kendrick, I don’t really listen to that much. I don’t know why. I think I’m getting old.

So I was listening to that. On Gus’s film, I was listening to Bob Dylan, because John Callahan was a real Bob Dylan fan, and also some of Callahan’s own music.

I also listen to Bright Eyes and a new band called Ringside.

I love The Beatles so they are still my favourite band of all time, especially all those John Lennon melodies like ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’.

I’m listening to Elliot Smith, because he has a great vocal style.
