Of course with lots more tied into it. We are always asking questions (ha ha) &#8211; <strong>it&#8217;s punk rock to question everything<\/strong> &#8211; even the nature of the universe &#8211; that&#8217;s why we get on so well with scientists and we know a lot of scientists from doing our Universe Explained gigs. Scientists or punk rock in its proper definition &#8211; they question everything even their own theories. The universe itself is eternally fascinating &#8211; it&#8217;s not some abstract concept &#8211; it&#8217;s here around us all the time &#8211; we are in the universe! There is so much wonderment and weirdness &#8211; from whether the Big Bang actually happened or whether it did but time itself curves so much it&#8217;s hard to get to the Big Bang or the fact that all the stars in the sky don&#8217;t exist any more it just took all this time for their light to get or the idea of the multiverse &#8211; endless universes or the fact that 79 per cent plus of the universe is made up of dark matter and no one is even sure of what that is or that the universe maybe a hologram! Thinking through any of these ideas and concepts is thrilling!<\/p>\n<p><strong>PD: Can you choose 5 songs by The Membranes from the very beginning &#8217;til now, as a some kind of band DNA?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JR<\/strong>: Spike Milligans tape recorder,\u00a0Myths and legends,\u00a0Universe exposes into a billion photons of pure white light,\u00a0Do the supernova,\u00a0Hum of the universe<\/p>\n<p><strong>PD: You are frequent guest to this part of Europe (Balkans), what&#8217;s the best thing you notice about people, music, politics&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5935 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/media.popdepresija.com\/2016\/09\/IMG_9292_1433718474_crop_550x309-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"img_9292_1433718474_crop_550x309\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popdepresija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_9292_1433718474_crop_550x309-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.popdepresija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_9292_1433718474_crop_550x309.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>JR<\/strong>: In a musical sense there is such a great undiscovered music scene here &#8211; so many diverse and great bands that people back at home in the UK don&#8217;t know about and because of the really bad visa laws in the UK, it&#8217;s very hard for these bands to get known in the UK and we are really missing out. Politically it&#8217;s very complex and we can only ever get an outsiders point of view in the UK &#8211; from the outside looking in. I spent a bit of time in Ljubljana and it&#8217;s a good city &#8211; I go to that MENT music conference and get to see some good music there &#8211; the band that would do well in the UK is Repetitor &#8211; they are great but that&#8217;s the tip of a creative iceberg and of course there is Laibach who I&#8217;ve been into for decades and whose ideas and artful and playful presentation is hypnotic.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&gt;&gt; Svetlana&#8217;s Q &amp; A with John Robb &lt;&lt;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mercury Rev revealed that &#8216;In my dreams I&#8217;m always strong&#8221;, what would you say for your dream self?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5931\" src=\"http:\/\/media.popdepresija.com\/2016\/09\/jan_15_john_robb.png\" alt=\"jan_15_john_robb\" width=\"300\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popdepresija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jan_15_john_robb.png 411w, https:\/\/www.popdepresija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jan_15_john_robb-206x300.png 206w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I&#8217;m living the dream! The two worlds are very blurred &#8211;\u00a0I like he least idea of the universe being a computer programme being created by super advanced beings. The theory goes that they created the Big Bang and a whole new universe as a projection and that we don&#8217;t really exist &#8211; it&#8217;s fascinating and quite twisted but throws the idea of reality into a whole new light .<\/p>\n<p><strong>In &#8216;How to fight loneliness&#8217; Wilco suggested &#8216;Smile all the time&#8217;, and what would your advice be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Talk to people &#8211; they are as lonely as you are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kris Kristofferson declared long ago that &#8216;Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose&#8217;.
