MARY OCHER INTERVIEW at the New Obsessive blogspot

Gary Farrelly- On the streets of hard labour. A stunning song. I adore it. Is it the best you have written to date?
Mary Ocher- Perhaps. though I now have "The android sea", which will soon (hopefully) have a video too.

GF- Do you like your own work?
MO- Yes. I have complete control over what I do these days. and it feels GREAT!

GF- I adore the music video for the above mentioned song. New Obsessive Sophie Iremonger is working on some road works in the first shot. Where did you meet?
MO- Thank you! We met... on the street, while she was digging.
No, actually we met at her wonderful erotic store may it rest in peace!

GF- What was your first impression of Droog?
MO- -That's fabulousness on high heels!

GF- The lyrics conjure images of progress thwarted, reward less toil and resignation to permanent dissatisfaction. Are these feelings central to the Mary Ocher world view?
MO - No, but it certainly was part of the anarchist ideology that I found at 17, as a fresh high school drop out.
