Jimi has recently been interviewed by Vanvouver-centric lifestyle website, Straight.com, ahead of Doves’ Canadian shows.
“ ‘Kingdom of Rust’, those opening images, like the cooling towers and stuff, it reminds me of an industry that’s gone, and nature’s reclaimed it,” he says of the album’s title track. “You know, when you get those sites or derelict yards and things, and nature’s taken over because it’s been abandoned. Nature will reclaim what is rightfully its.”

Thanks to our friends at Nashville Mixtapes for bringing this to our attention. Jimi recently gave Pitchfork his 5-10-15-20 picks. Its a new feature at pitchfork, where they talk to artists about the music they loved at five-year interval points in their lives. Its interesting reading:
Age 5
The first gig I went to was for this bubblegum 70s rock’n’roll band Mud. They were all wearing teddy boy suits. It was a bit silly, but I was five. It was back in the time when all the merchandise and badges were really huge– they were as big as me. I bought a Mud flag, a Mud scarf, and a big Mud badge and I was showing them off in the playground the next day. The teacher took it all off me. I was a little too excited.
Age 25
Radiohead: The Bends
After listening to hip-hop and dance music for a long time I started to get excited by guitar music again around this time. The Bends is where Radiohead really started coming into their own, where Thom Yorke really found his voice as a lyricist and writer. They really impacted us as a band. They impacted everyone.

Jimi talked to BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat about getting old, being beaten to number one by Lady Gaga and the industry’s ‘unreasonable expectations’ for new bands.
Doves’ Jimi Goodwin has condemned the speed at which the music industry promotes new music.
Speaking to Newsbeat he said: “The thirst for new music is overlooking a lot of things and there’s not a lot of time for bands to nurture and develop. We didn’t get good for years or reach a place where we wanted to be.”
He added: “We were very lucky that we were allowed to do that.”

San Diego radio station FM94/9 has uploaded Jimi’s interview with DJ Amanda at her blog.

DOVES are flying back to Balado
The Sunday Mail have also reviewed the Barras show, making it the gig of the week. To read the review, click here.
Kingdom Of Rust has remained a number 3, for a second straight week. Great news, the album sales remain solid. Much improvement on Some Cities, which dropped out the charts like a stone pretty quickly after going to number one.

Check out these awesome pictures of the gig, taken by Alice. By all accounts the show was the best of the year so far. The Barras never disappoint.
Doves are in Edinburgh tonight to play the Picture House for the first time.
For the last installment of doves guest editors appearance at Q music online. Jimi has chosen ‘Omega Time’ by Malakai, to be Q The Music’s Friday “Track Of The Day”, as part of Doves’ role as guest editors of the website this week.
Jimi Goodwin (Doves): “From their album ‘The Ugly Side of Love’. Bristol madness! Think Jeff Barrett (Doves’ label boss at Heavenly Records) turned us on to this. Reminds me of things like Madvillain/Madlib/Edan psychedelic hip hop. Really thrilled that they’re going to be supporting us on our April/May tour.”
Monday: Jacob and the Angel by the Invisible (Jimi)
Tuesday: Tonight’s Today by Jack Penate (Jez)
Wednesday: Sea Within A Sea by the Horrors (Andy)
