Kinda indie-schmindie..
..but anyway:

I met Nick Mason (drummer for Pink Floyd) at a bookisigning in Newcastle. He looked slightly irritated at the fact that no fucker was buying his book on racing cars, just carting their Floyd albums down for him to sign. I said: "Hi, y'all right?", he said "Yeah."

I once had a quarter-hour conversation with Conrad Keeley from Trail of Dead in Leeds about Lester Bangs (best music hack EVER) and how it was my life's goal to be the next him. He told me not to die at 34 (or whatever) though. I agreed.

I had a similar length conversation with Harris Khlar from 'Q and not U' in Turin about the Beatles and Sonic Youth. He said my friend's band who supported them, 'would go far'. They didn't.

I bumped into Phil Jupitus at the secret Gang of Four gig last month in New Cross. I said: "Hi Phil!", he said "A'right?". Graham Coxon was there too, as were the Queens of Noize. I dearly wanted to congratulate him for his work on 'Think Tank' (arf), and to inform the Queens they they wouldn't know 'noize' if it burgled their turds, and to inform them of their status of trust-fund horse-fancying dillettantes who have nothing to do with music whatsoever. But I couldn't find them, it was too packed.

I'm in a band too. We headlined at Goldsmiths student union. Yay..

Now I will be silent.
