MIKA
What's The Best Night Out You've ever Had?
It was in the south of France a couple of years back at a cheesy little club. Amazing how throwing an ice cube at someone can turn in to full on 200-people ice fight then into a drink fight, obviously not with our own drinks! We were thrown out at 3am without having to pay the bill, all this to a tacky euro pop soundtrack.
What's Your Favourite Club?
Ones where I can no longer remember the name by the time I leave.
What's Your Favourite Record Of All-time?
Impossible to say, but for today/for this hour, let it be Harry Nilsson-Pandemonium Shadow Show.
What Record Can't You Stand?
Voodoo child by the Rogue Traders
What Record Did You Lose Your Virginity To?
Oh how I wish I could remember!... *sigh*
What Was The Last Record You Bought?
Infidels-Love Like Semtex.
Bodies Without Organs-Sunshine in the Rain.

Harry Nilsson, Japanese cartoon soundtracks, Harry Nilsson
Who Would Play You In 'MIKA The Movie'

Out the front door
What Is Your Favourite Possession?
My Tony Millionaire and Jim Woodring original artwork.
What Is Your Life Philosophy?
Choose your battles wisely and try to be nice to Mum.
What's In Your Pockets?
Umm, far too little money and embarrassingly, some designer condoms that were just handed to me at Agnes B.
If You Were An Animal, What Animal and Why?
A goldfish, no chance of regrets.
You Are Having A Party, Whom Dead Or Alive Is On The Guest List?
David Hockney, Tim Burton, Ella Fitzgeald, Harry Nilsson, Duke Ellington, Leigh Bowery, Dita von Teese, Paul Wellstone.
When Was The Last Time You Embarrassed Yourself?
The other day at the Scala, completely covered in sweat from the above-legal room temperatures, I thought it would be a good idea to pour 3 pints of water over me and my friends. They didn't agree.
Tell Us Something That We Don't Know About 'MIKA'
The name comes form the name Michael and in Finland it is used for men but in Japan it is for women. But Alice Cooper's name is still better. If I have a son, I'll call him Alice.
16th October sees MIKA releases his debut limited edition 7” & download single on Casablanca Records. A Double-A side, the single features two self penned songs, 'Relax (Take It Easy)' and 'Billy Brown', Mika spins a tale of modern sexual peccadilloes in the burlesque 'Billy Brown' whilst 'Relax (Take It Easy)' is a self-affirming summer dance sweatbox with a dark undertow. Also look out for hot remixes from DJ maestro Ashley Beedle (X-Press 2).
