We had some mutual friends who are musicians. I had been praising Franz Ferdinand, and I think that got back to them. They decided, \u2018That\u2019s who we want to have around \u2013 someone who praises and loves us\u2019, which is good because I\u2019m a fan of theirs. Alex just got in touch and asked if I\u2019d like to play with them at Glastonbury! Who\u2019s going to turn that down? I didn\u2019t know what he meant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought, \u2018There must be a gimmick here. Is it some sort of\u00a0Doctor Who-related song? There\u2019s a song called \u2018The Doctor\u2019 on the new album, maybe he wanted me to do that? I didn\u2019t want to do that. I said, \u2018What do you want me to sing?\u2019 \u2018Take Me Out\u2019. What? This fabulous song that everybody knows? Yes, please!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to NME previously about his recent album, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/peter-capaldi-interview-music-sweet-illusions-oasis-lewis-black0mirror-devils-hour-3804107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he described the record as \u201cnostalgic\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m always trying to discover for myself who I am, musically \u2013 without being too grand about it,\u201d Capaldi said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I am light-hearted about it, but I do take it seriously and try my best,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole thing has quite a nostalgic feeling about it, but the nostalgia is probably for that period because I\u2019m picking up where I left off. It\u2019s a bit art studenty, Glasgow, 1978, rainy\u2026 but I\u2019m plugging it with synthesisers and fat guitars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/films\/the-fantastic-four-first-steps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a> actor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/pedro-pascal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pedro Pascal<\/a> has also recently admitted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/film\/pedro-pascals-favourite-band-is-the-cure-3881652\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cure are his favourite band<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Peter Capaldi performed a cover of The Cure\u2018s \u2018Friday I\u2019m in Love\u2019 during a concert in Glasgow last&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304033,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[77,481,3982,269,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-304032","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-indie","10":"tag-live-music-news","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114942483178705365","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
