Prefab Sprout’s Paddy McAloon recently agreed to answer some questions from Slicing Up Eyeballs via e-mail. He discussed finishing ‘Let’s Change the World With Music,’ offered his thoughts on songwriting and whether he cares about pleasing his audience, and speculated as to whether the world can, in fact, be changed with music.

Slicing Up Eyeballs recently chatted with Peter Hook about his upcoming tour of the U.S., during which he’ll perform Joy Division’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’; the acrimonious split of Freebass; and his plans to re-record classic Joy Division tracks for a new EP.
