This is a transcript from an audio recording of the broadcast.
Bernard Lenoir: French
Translator: "Could you get his words or do you want some translation?"
Colin: "Yeah..."
Translator: "Err... (laughs)
Colin: "words a little bit a little bit fast..."
Translator: "Um, nope it’s good; Ok um actually what he says is when you watch a gig like this, it seems to us like you guys have been playing together for years. It doesn’t seem to be something just set up by the press and just like your lives. How long have you been playing together?"
Colin: (French)
Bernard: French
Translator: "If you guys want to join us anyway, we can translate what you say."
Bernard: French
Translator: "To all of you pop music is dead?"
Thom: "Um, it will be unless we get to be very big, hahaha."
Translator: French
Bernard: French
Translator: "Aside, aside from the joke... the joke, sorry, is that really a problem to you, do you think that is really something that is bad about pop music at the moment."
Thom: "Um, I mean, yes. Pop, I mean pop music will die. If not this year, in the next couple of years unless the record companies and the press start sort of signing bands and playing bands that people actually want to listen to and actually buy, rather than taking old dead musicians and pop stars and insisting on sending their records out and trying to sell them to the people who don't wanna buy them, because they’ve already got them. Um the only good pop star at the moment is a dead one."
Bernard: French
Translator: "How can you get to write a song like 'Creep' without just being realistic of your own condition, or have you been, have you had to experiment something really so bad that you get to write that song?"
Thom: "Um, definitely the latter, yeah definitely. I definitely experienced it. I must have done. You can’t write songs unless you really experience it."
Translator: French
Bernard: French
Translator: "What does that stand for, Pablo Honey?"
Thom: "It’s... it’s... it’s a secret."
Translator: French
Bernard: French

Bernard: French
Translator: "Very quickly could you go up and play one more song? Thanks."
