Gary Numan - interview + Artrocker remix contest

Last night Gary Numan appeared on the Irish late night show Craig Doyle Live for an interview segment. Numan talked about his mega 1979 hit "Cars," revealing the song was written in only ten minutes (ten minutes!!!) He also discussed fame, his love of airplanes (he has a pilot license), and how he came to meet his wife Gemma. It's been common knowledge Gemma ran a Numan fanclub prior to their relationship and last night the couple (Gemma was in the audience) dished on how they came to hook up. Watch the interview below:




Gary Numan will drop his career spanning DVD Machine Music: The Best Of Gary Numan later this year. The limited edition release features promos, television appearances, music videos and more. The DVD will initially be available at Numan's live shows in the U.K. in May and will be released worldwide on June 11th.

Finally, coming later this year Artrocker will publish a Gary Numan edition of the mag which will come along with a Dead Son Rising remix album. The album will feature remixes by The Duke Spirit, Atari Teenage Riot, Is Tropical, and more, plus YOU have the opportunity to appear on it!
