Richard In Your Mind, Pikelet

Richard "In Your Mind" Cartwright and Evelyn "Pikelet" Morris interview each other. Efficient or what!

Evelyn: Hey Richard!
Rich: Yo
Evelyn: Let's do this thing! Have you got a copy of Lodger by David Bowie?
Rich: I do have a copy but I tell you, I haven't listened to it much.
Evelyn: Fair enough.
Rich: I love Bowie, though.
Evelyn: Me also, that record especially: and I'll tell you why...
Rich: Why?
Evelyn: The lyrics are really mundane: "Learning to live with somebody's depression" and things like that.
Rich:  I must go to it. He's done everything.
Evelyn: What is it that you look for in lyrical content yourself?

Rich: I like to think that the person singing the lyrics is really involved with the lyrics and trippy stories.
Evelyn: Like?
Rich: Oh um, Blue Jay Way, waiting for friends to come round but they're late, and the mood is strange.
Evelyn: What's that from?
Rich: Beatles. Magical Mystery Tour. It's a George [Harrison] song.
Evelyn: Hey, can I ask you a question? It's an annoying one that people always use in interviews so I apologise in advance: why are you Richard IN YOUR MIND?
Rich: Mainly cos it was my email address. Yahoo wouldn't let me have 'richards mind'. I did a solo show and the booker said it should be my stage name.
Evelyn:  That's a very down-to-earth way to choose your name.
Rich: It also kinda describes listening to music, by me.
Evelyn: Yeah, I like that about it.
Rich: Someone once thought it meant a mind fuck. So why Pikelet?
Evelyn: When I was a young girl my Mum made Pikelets for me whenever she wanted to give us a treat and I thought it was the bomb. Then when I was older she told me she mostly did it when she was flat broke, so when I made a CD for her of my own music to make her feel better when she was ill. It made sense to call it a Pikelet coz I made it from borrowed equipment.

Rich: That's awesome. Pikelets remind me of my youth - I think they were big in the ‘80s.
Evelyn: Yeah they're so awesome. They definitely were big in the ‘80s! I love food fads. Hey, so we're going to have some pretty sweet adventures on tour, right?
Rich: Absolutely.
Evelyn: We're going off the beaten track a little...
Rich: Should be rad. We haven't played in Geelong ever. I hope they like us.
Evelyn: My boss is from Geelong and he told me that they might beat us up. "If it's a Friday night there's always a brawl" were his exact words
Rich: Lucky we're big a big tough crew.
Evelyn: Yeah – I actually AM quite tough I've gotta say. My bandmates are all talk though.
Rich: Do you like tea?
Evelyn: Definitely!
Rich: Tea is AWESOME.
Evelyn: I especially like the green tea that has roasted rice in it.
Rich: Wow. I never roasted rice.
Evelyn: I think it's called Gen ma chai or something like that. I generally drink tea when I'm trying to stop myself from drinking too much coffee.
Rich: I like to have a 3:1 ratio of tea to coffee.
Evelyn: That's sound logic right there. Hey, do you reckon we have covered enough territory?
Rich: Sure do: tea, Bowie, toughness – all there.
Evelyn: Tick tick tick!
Rich: Excellent! Good work team!
