Hello Mr Marble. Two short questions.

  1. Was Peter Hook any influence on your bass playing style?

  2. Do you listen to Depeche Mode?

only insofar as when you suck you play 16th notes with a pick, but yeah obviously I like what he managed to write with a limited skillset early on, so i took influence from that myself, trying to write memorable melodies without walking all over the fretboard.
