transcription would be much appreciated

Nicole: Before we start the interview, we ask all the artists to pick a song to play very softly under the interview, it can be any song of your choice. A B-side, anything.
Mel: To create an atmosphere.
Keith: Some Kind Of Monster.
Nicole: Click your fingers at the camera and Metallica will come on. So we go all over the country with this Desk, why are we here at Global Gathering with the Desk?
Liam: Well, we're doing a little ravey event tonight, playing on a big stage over there..
Nicole: Uh-hu.
Liam: ..and that's the reason, and we wanna see you two dance.
Nicole: Yeah, and you will.
Nicole: So you said the new album is a party album..
Liam: Think so, yeah..
Nicole: Was there anything in the recording process that helped it keep upbeat?
Liam: I didn't let anyone hear it.. no one heard it apart from us as we were making it. We messed around for 5 months, keeping the party spirit alive, and then we had to straighten it out, to get it finished.
Maxim: Wasn't there a particular track on there you didn't like?
Mel: That is correct.
Nicole: Oh yeah Stand Up.
Mel: Yeah it's the last one, sounds like Robbie Williams and Kylie Minougue (laughs)
Liam: OOOOHHH!!
Mel: No, but being your biggest fan, I'm allowed to have comments on your album, there you go.
Keith: I mean to be quite honest, we like people with both negative and positive.
Mel: Now that you keep doing both rock and dance festivals, you can kind of do both now, is there a difference in audience, and if so, who were the better audience?
Maxim: When you do a dance event and a rock event it's the same atmosphere, the same vibe, but when you do a rock event you get a few more shoes on the stage..
Mel: I was gonna say, is there more pee and spit..
Keith: The guy who does the side of stage for us, he's got the whole outfit, I've collected his whole Autumn Collection for this year-
Nicole: From the fans?
Keith: -from Europe, so you've got some Italian style-
Nicole: Nice, you can start your own line now!
Keith: -a bit of German, a bit of French...
Mel: As a band what have been your three greatest moments?
Keith: Uh, doing the Hot Desk, that's number one that springs to mind..
Mel: Love you!
Keith: Yeah, I'm good at answering them in a serious manner. First, it's got to be doing the parties that we used to go to, being able to take our music to them and get in for nothing, we felt really triumphant.
Liam: Standing on the stages we use to go to as ravers.
Keith: Yeah I think that was our only goal, that's got to be number one.
Mel: And what about first Number Ones, is that not really..
Keith: None of that really bothered us, we didn't honestly know and didn't care.
Maxim: It was more exciting to be at (an event).
Liam: I was more embarassed to be honest, that the record had gone (in the charts), because it took us out of the rave scene, it was like we were suddenly something else separated from it.
Maxim: Another highlight was our first gig abroad, going to Italy.
Keith: We earnt our first million then. A million Lira, three hundred quid!
Nicole: Liam, you have your own label, what piece of advice would you give a new artist?
Liam: Every bit of music I'm hearing is people trying to sound like us, every CD I'm getting always sounds like The Prodigy, so don't sound like us if you want to get our attention to get signed to our label. Be original.
Mel: Ok so I'm going to show you (the albums) chronologically-
Liam: Get it right! You preplanned it didn't you?
Mel: No, we just did a quick- is that right? Now we're going to ask you some questions, and please point to which album would be most appropriate. The time that you were the happiest. And saddest.
Liam: Happiest (picks IMD). Saddest (picks AONO).
Maxim: Exactly the same.
Nicole: The time you don't remember.
Keith : (picks up FOTL and AONO) That's the void there.
Maxim: I agree, I agree.
Nicole: The time that you all got on the best.
Liam: The new one y'know, as we've got older we've learnt to deal with each other's sh*t. I think as time's gone on we definately understand where each other's spaces are.
Nicole: Ok this is the favourite things round. Favourite sandwich filling?
Liam: I don't eat sandwiches.
Keith: I don't really eat sandwiches.
Maxim: I'm more of a baguette man, bit of ham.
Nicole: A ham sandwich, that's fine.
Keith: Egg mayonnaise with cheese and onion crisps.
Nicole: Ok, favourite number?
Keith: 7-Eleven or sixty nine.
Nicole: Smell?
Liam: Veuve.
Keith: Vanilla.
Maxim: Fish food.
Nicole: Favourite word?
Keith: Dinghy. Or canoe.
Nicole: Favourite chocolate bar?
Liam: Got to be Dairy Milk, all the time.
Maxim: Yeah, Dairy Milk, man.
Nicole: That's so boring!
Keith: A Boost!
Liam: Ah no, let's redress this sh*t, Toblerone! Toblerone! I'm just picturing a normal (bar).
Nicole: No Keith, I said chocolate bar right?
Keith : Yup.
Maxim: It's got to be Bounty for me.
Liam: Toblerone. I take that back.
Nicole: See they had to change it.
Mel: Now every week on the Hot Desk we play our favourite game, this is called 'Call, Text or Reject', and basically, we're going to give you three names and they all want to collaborate with you on your new album.
Nicole: Chemical Brothers, Moby and David Bowie.
Liam: Well, Moby's 'Reject', straight off.
Nicole: No-one's ever done that first, no-one's ever rejected first.
Keith: I'd call Bowie. Yeah.
