Was the inclusion of Siouxsie and the Banshees Hong Kong Garden in anyway a tribute?
U: Ah… well, I love the song anyway, so I chose it because of that… and it always surprises me how few people know it, so I thought it would be fun. And I also wanted to play something from the rock side and I thought this would be good. And also… it’s a tribute to living in the city. It’s very interesting that you split the vote completely. People either love or hate Uffie, there’s no in-between with you. U: It’s rarely in-between. Definitely. I was actually interviewing Siouxsie Sioux last year and in a weird sort of way she actually comes from a similar kind of background to you. She was written off by great sections of the press for being a hipster or scenester… little more than just a noticeable fan of The Sex Pistols. Does the hipster tag annoy you… U: Totally. …and are you always working to shrug it off? U: Definitely… When I came out people were always saying: “You’re the queen of the hipsters” but I didn’t even know what a hipster was. I’m like the nerdy, uncool
