Your reaction perfectly illustrates the theme of the song, it's about interesting rumours and incorrect extrapolations. Us humans can't help creating soap operas out of random data. I've actually never Skyped with Miss Calloway; the video was put together using a short webcam video she posted on her YouTube page. She was just making random faces at her computer, and when I edited them together with my lipsynch video it looks very much as if we're relating in real time.I often eat breakfast with overseas friends over Skype. Do you ever mix food and Skype?
Sometimes I eat food during Skype sessions just as a way to show I'm not wanking. It's important to keep your hands visible at all times. One of the best Skype sessions I ever had involved directing a friend to pour milk over her body. You can never tell where the milk will trickle, and the path it takes provides a rich source of 3D information.Any eating suggestions to accompany your music?
Bread and water, but only the best quality bread and water.Do you eat meat?
I was a vegetarian for four years when I was a student, but I stopped having orgasms and got tunnel vision, so I started eating meat again. Now I get tunnel orgasms.So it's true that vegetarians are worse in the sack since they're "afraid of the meat" so to speak?
Actually, the sexiest girl I ever knew was vegan. But she had horribly hairy legs. Organic legs.In your song "The Homosexual" you sing about giving in to people's misconceptions. Are you still considering it?
Well, in the context of that song, the narrator makes the decision to go along with the world's misconceptions about him for his own advantage. It's a bit like a sexy girl – in the eyes of the world, but not to herself – who decides to act like a sexy girl, and finds it works. I'm still pondering this question on my 2010 album Hypnoprism, the title track uses a Bush-ism when it says "I'm a little misunderestimated, I can measure up to nothing much… I am a crippled tiger and you are my crutch". It's up to the listener to decide whether this neediness is cunning, winning, or naive. My narrators tend to show their cunning calculations, but even that may be a calculated strategy in itself, and even calculation might be naive – for a gamine ingenue like Miss Calloway, for instance. There are many layers to the onion, which is what makes it so crunchy to bite into.Momu's EP The Thunderclown is out now on the Swedish label Tona Serenad.
