A drunken Adam Green stumbled onto German TV the other day dressed in a white fringed Ozzy Osbourne outfit and singing the Sugababes. He then proceeded to throw a beer bottle at the studio audience, sit on the talk show host's lap and babble about how his new album was lyrically inspired by his time in Iraq. When Green landed in London last week we met up for a kebab and a chat about crack pipes, panpipes and other pressing issues of today.Listen: Adam Green - "Morning After Midnight"Vice: Do you love Germans because they’re cool about you saying on national TV that you take drugs all day? I can’t imagine you saying that to Whoopi on The View.
Adam Green: I saw Whoopi defending an allegation based on photographic evidence that Amy Winehouse was smoking crack. She was like, "What the hell? You never smoked pot out of a glass pipe? How do you know what was in the pipe, man?"Whoopi’s onside.
Yeah, she’s cool. I find the German’s to be a very forgiving people. Someone asked me if I planned that whole thing on TV. How could I plan that?!I like how you just cuddled up to the dude.
He’s got good breath for someone who has all fake teeth. DMX punched them out.I want to believe that Michael Kors taught you about style but I think you’re lying.
I used to hang around in his studio which he called The Factory. Korsy used to say, "How many songs did you write today, Adam?" And I would say, "One." And he would say, "Why don’t you write 20?" It’s that kind of work ethic that he instilled in me.The panpipes on Sixes And Sevens is a great addition.
I carried around the panpipes melody in my head for seven years, looking for a place to put it. I got the guy who played the magic flute in the Metropolitan Opera to play on my record. He described it as playing the piano with your nose.Zara stole your lyrics and printed them on T-shirts.
They gave me a lot of free credit because they admired my lyrics on "We’re Not Supposed To Be Lovers" and "Dance With Me" enough to put them on their shirts. The shirts were terrible so I can’t imagine they sold a lot of them. I personally prefer Galliano.Your girlfriend Loribeth sings on the album, but she’s not a singer by trade, is she?
Not only is she not a singer by trade, she’d probably have to pay people to listen to her sing. She did a terrific job. It’s pretty groovy.Why do you think trannies like your music?
I’m glad you asked that. It’s like when I first went to Spain and people liked my music. It’s because I think they know that I like them. But I like the real she-trannies. I don’t like the ones that are just dudes in girls clothes. Me and The Paddingtons just did a B-side called "Lady Boy."When did you last black out?
Driving to Paris from Switzerland. I supposedly cornered my tour manager in a rest stop area and told him I was going to fuck his fucking face. Then, 20 minutes later, I told him he was my best friend in the whole wide world.KIM TAYLOR BENNETT- Adam Green is touring Europe now. See details here.
