    interviewed RETAIL:


    Philippa:
    Can you describe your sound/style for those who haven't checked you out yet?

    RETAIL: Black & white psychedelica.
    >
    P:Do you play everything o­n the music you've recorded so far or have you worked with other people?

    RETAIL: o­n the current demo it's all me: Piano & voice.


    P:You've a very impressive list of influences o­n your Myspace profile, do any in particular stand out as having made a real impact in the way you write your music?

    RETAIL: Bob Dylan & Sarah McLachlan.

    P: What have been the best gigs you've been too?


    RETAIL: Iggy Pop, the Ramones, Shelby Lynne, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Dylan, Siouxsie, Sinatra, Tony Bennett.

    P: What have been your highlights from playing live yourself?

    RETAIL: I don't wear highlights. I'm not a scene kid.


    P: Have you had much interest from the UK and do you hope/plan to head over here to play live?

    RETAIL: I would love to play the UK! Tell those record company wankers to call me!

    P: Where does music fit in to the rest of what you do, acting and so o­n?

    RETAIL: Sometimes a song requires a bit of acting. Even when it's autobiographical, the emotions fade over time. And as for the acting: It's like Johnny basing Capt. Jack Sparrow o­n Keith Richards. Since pop stars tend to be archetypal figures, they can be useful in building characters (not to be confused with "building character").


    P: What do you hope to do/have lined up in the acting world over the next couple of years?

    RETAIL: Since Daniel Craig snapped up the 007 gig, I don't what I'm going to do.

    P: What are your favourite films?

    RETAIL: James Bond of the sixties & seventies. Star Wars. Orson Welles. Fifties Hitchcock.  My favorite movie is "The Red Balloon" (1956).
   
ONLINE REVIEW BY MARK E. WATERBURY: Atlanta's Gilbert Kaneda (AKA retail) is a singer/songwriter that seems to take pages from Dylan, Jim Morrison and Buddy Holly to heart, and then run them through his soul to create a hybrid of thought provoking lyrics sung in a robust and heartfelt timbre that lends a modern folk vibe to the music. The stripped down feel places you in intimate company of Gilbert's psyche o­n this debut. A twenty-first century poet with deep running roots.
