...how many beers does it take before you get the courage to ask if you can have a go on the fireman's pole?! 
That's such a rock and roll item to get in your house. Is there one in 10C HQ too?
If you've no idea what I'm talking about (likely), get hold of this month's Uncut - the Q&A with Ed is a pretty interesting read!

The Pearl Jam frontman takes your questions
Only in the mag and not online I'm afraid, however it could well end up being transcribed

Is it true that you recorded an albums worth of ukulele songs back in 2000? Do you plan to ever release them?
Scott Kobleske, Chicago
I did record it and gave it to a few friends. I was going through a rough time – it was after Roskilde [the Danish festival where, in 2000, nine Pearl Jam fans were trampled to death in a stage crush] and after a number of things in our personal lives. And this tiny little instrument with four strings, which could almost fit in your back pocket, became like a good friend. The uke is an incredible machine for learning about melody and chord structure – you're suddenly able to write ragtime classics! So I wrote these sad songs on a happy instrument. It helped me process some really painful things at the time, but I didn't want to release it because it felt too personal. It's funny now, with some distance, they're not as heartbreaking as I thought. So...it may get released. We'll see.
What are your top most misinterpreted lyrics? Keep it funny if possible
Michael Stipe, REM
Maybe my diction isn't so good! Ha! But it reveals a lot about Michael that he's asked this, as it's happened to him more than me! His stuff was always so open to interpretation. There's a track on Murmur called “We Walk”, y'know, “Take a recess...up the stairs and to the landing”. I was in the car with my daughter, who was two, and she started singing along. I almost had to pull over and start weeping. It was one of my proudest moment. My daughter knew an REM song! Of course, she was singing it wrong, though I don't know if there's a right way. Those lyrics are oblique and yet they mean so much. Michael is a magician that way.
What were your inspirations when your wrote the soundtrack to Sean Penn's Into The Wild?
Irene Mariani, Italy
When I was 12, I remember seeing the movie, Harold and Maude, a film that is accompanied by several Cat Stevens songs. Cat's voice represents the interior voice of the character throughout the movie, and he does it absolutely perfectly. It's a perfect synergy between film and music, and it really inspired me to try writing for film. Take the final scene, where it looks like Harold is going to drive off the cliff, with the rain hitting the windshield and you know how he feels. Suddenly they play “Trouble” by Cat Stevens and it's utterly overwhelming, heartbreaking. So seeing it work there made me think I could give it a go.
Has Olivia gone all four floors on the fireman's pole yet?
Neil Finn, Crowded House
Tell Neil I never talk about the pole! Ha ha! As Neil knows, I've got an adventurous young daughter who's very rough and tumble. I guess things change as they get older and there's a restructuring of power in the male/female dynamic. But right now my daughter's as tough as anyone, male or female, under the age of about 15. The fireman's pole? It's a long story. Basically, I started smoking dope after a long period of abstinence, and I had an epiphany. I realised the house I was living in had a couple of connected closets. And after having this nice hit, it occurred to me that you could put a fireman's pole in this house, connecting all four floors. Three months on, we had one installed. It's really practical! I do all my songwriting in the basement, so if I'm, upstairs, I just slide down. Otherwise you might stop by the laundry room to wash some clothes and you'll have missed a couple of songs. So it has paid for itself in songwriting royalties.
What was Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan like to work with?
Zak, Leytonstone, London
Well, it was intimidating on many levels. We worked together for a few days – we were put together by Tim Robbins for the Dead Man Walking soundtrack – and everything had to go through an interpreter because I was told he didn't really speak English. He was very centered, like a Buddhist statue in many ways and he looked like he was made of stone! And when he sang, it was like he was channeling something incredibly powerful and spiritual. After two days of talking through the interpreter, we were left in the room alone, and he looked at me and said, in perfect English: “You have a very nice voice” And it was like that scene in One Flow Over The Cuckoo's Nest, where the Indian guy finally talks to Jack Nicholson. I thought, you son of a bitch! And of course, we then talked and talked and got on great. I met him a few times after that. I think he pretended not to speak English as a defence mechanism. I wish I'd thought of that! Sadly, he was taken away form us much, much too early. And so many of the secrets of qawwali music have died with him.
