Cash or Cheque? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

This month: Courtney Taylor-Taylor, The Dandy Warhols

Cops or robbers?
Police and thieves, because I like The Clash a lot.

Drinking or smoking?
It's like love and marriage, you can't have one without the other. If I had to pick it would have to be smoking.

Spend or save?
God, that's ridiculous, fucking spend, man! I only save to make sure I can spend comfortably.

Sofa or gym?
Sofa. I can't lift weights, I don't have the patience. I do like all other physical activities - my girlfriend is a yoga instructor.

Boxers or briefs?
Briefs. They have to be as loose and saggy as boxers but briefs because they're sexy.

Text message or talk?
Talk! Forget the song, they should have had me in the ad campaign [The Dandy Warhols' Bohemian Like You was used by vodafone] barking out commands with six cell phones going at once. Except I didn't have a cell phone back then.

Death or glory?
Excuse me is there any choice? Would people prefer death? I understand the existentialist reality that we're ridiculous creatures who constantly do stupid things and so we all deserve death. But you might as well stick around and see what happens.

UN or USA?
Currently UN. It's fucking freaky, everything's getting scary and weird.

Nike or Addias?
Nike. It's from Portland. I'm from Portland and everybody in all the other Portland bands seems to end up working for Nike eventually.

Give or receive?
You talking sexually? Orally? Well, both, but give first then receive.

The Beatles Or The Stones?
I'd have The Beatles over for dinner but we'd listen to The Stones' records.

Michael Jackson or Martin Bashir?
Michael Jackson can't be taken seriously as a human being because neither you, I, Martin Bashir, or anyone can understand what it would be like growing up as Michael Jackson. Just leave him alone and keep your children away.

Lord Of The Rings or The Matrix?
Keanu Reeves in tight leather pants? I'm not saying that's not great, but it ain't Lord Of The Rings.

Straight or gay?
I don't know. Straight, but gay is more fun.

Jack or Meg?
I think Meg's got a cuter bottom.

Cash or cheque?
I love cash. It's just lovely to have. You feel like the man when you've got a lot of it, but I'm a fucking idiot so I never have enough cash for anything. So it's the debit card for me.
