Whay? Why.

So out of all the biography sites I've been to, even the official sites of Sneaker Pimps, I've found it really hard to find any info about Chris Corner.

Finally, though, I found an interview with him that isn't on youtube or anything. It isn't very long, but it's pretty interesting. The interviewer asks Chris what happened to the Sneaker Pimps, why did Chris leave? We find out that he had been with Sneaker Pimps since he was a kid. I dunno what he exactly means by that. Probably he means since he was in his early twenties or something? But then again, I really have no idea how old the man is.

He then goes on to say that he wanted to experiment more on his own with his music. That's how IAMX was introduced into the world. It seems like that decision really worked out for him. His experience with record companies and band politics while in Sneaker Pimps helped him later, when he began to make and produce his own music.

I'll leave with some of the lyrics from my current favourite song:

"cause it breaks my heart
That we live this way
I know people need love
'cause them people never play the game
And we talk the talk
We communicate
The people need love
Those people never play the game"

Way to sift through the morass of the internet to find what you sought. Excellent translation and analysis of his choice.
