Julian: "You've got a new little hairstyle there, that's looking nice."

Noel: "Yeah, pretty happy with it."

Julian: "Talk me through it."

Noel: "Well, I sort of went "I want Keith Richards, 1982" but in hindsight, I think I've got "1970s Lesbian."

Julian: "You pull it off, though."

Noel: "There’s something about us where we’re really in tune, but we’re probably very opposite. I’ve got big eyes, he’s got small eyes. He’s quite big. I’m not so big. He’s sort of Northern, I’m London. I dunno. There’s something about, we’re very opposite. I’m quite sort of vain and sort of dress up in stupid costumes. He’s sort of intellectually vain. We’re pretty much diametrically… we’re sort of opposite in quite an unusual way, but there’s something that we have where we can work as one thing...One beast, we can sort of, as two people, we make up one person."

Something that makes me laugh while watching season 1 of Mighty Boosh is the way that when Howard and Vince are talking at work Vince is literally the only one ever doing his job. Like Howard really just yaps and does nothing

In a 2014 interview with ABC Sydney, Noel explained why euros are the currency in Boosh!

Noel: “In the Boosh, everything was euros. We never said pounds. It was like, we just slip that in there thinking no one would notice, but actually people really liked that. People would go, "why do you mainly say euros? What are you doing?" We were like, I dunno. It just felt more Booshy. It felt weird to talk about money in the Boosh because it didn’t feel like those two characters would ever need or have, or they just wouldn’t be interested in money. So there’s something about euros, it felt softer, felt quite soft.”

On Grayson's Art Club in 2020, Noel talked about how fantasy was part of his childhood.

Noel: "I was trying to think about why I personally loved fantasy...what was it about my childhood that made me interested in fantasy? Me and my next door neighbour used to host a radio show when we were very young, and we were Australian women. We were like nine, why were we Australian women? I have no idea. We were like (Australian accent) "Hi, this is Kathy here, you're listening to..."

some the chokes angst :3

- Vince staying out clubbing all night because he knows Howard won't be waiting at home for him with a cup of tea on the bedside; and he can't face the empty bed next to his.

- Vince getting stomach aches because he lives off sweets and sugary tea and Howard isn't there to prod him to eat properly.

- The first few days after he leaves Vince doesn't realise and turns to talk to him in the flat or the shop only to remember he's in Denmark. Each time if happens he feels a fresh wave of betrayal.

- Vince trying to play music in the flat so the silence is less deafening but there's no Howard there to lament over his 'awful' music taste. There's no jazz records to play either because Howard took all of them to Denmark with him.

- Vince struggling to trust his other friendships because Howard was the most important person to him and he still left.

- He's talking to bollo on the sofa one day when he realises he's still the same little boy who talks to animals because he's waiting for someone he loves to come back for him.

Today is Noel’s birthday! I like this quote from a 2004 interview with The Times, because Noel has inspired so many artworks and artists.

Noel: “I want people to watch us and then feel the need to go off and do something. Painters that make you want to paint, they're the best painters."

Noel: “Just walked into a door. My nose is furious with me. Threatening to move round the back of my head when I am asleep. I said to my nose: “listen, you’re flat anyway.” Don’t act like such a Diva. You look like you belong on a shark anyway. That told him.”
