I shared a house with a bloke who was shagging Joanne Lees.

I never met her but we where all convinced we where going to be murdered in our beds.

mr. bungle and melt banana once had thanksgiving dinner at my house, though i couldn't be bothered to turn up
modest mouse and chumbawamba once came to my birthday party. my then-bandmate chased chumbawamba down the stairs with a blissfully trashed rendition of tubthumper
I saw blur play in front of thirty people in ithaca ny, when all they had out was "there's no other way"
the brilliant french canadian hardcore band one eyed god prophecy once slept on my floor after their show at epicenter. obscure maybe but much more mysterious and charged for me than any of the others. what an amazing band

on a more musical note:
-a friend was in bat for lashes until recently, until she was kicked out for complaining about being fucked over. since she left they've started to sound like Phil Collins so i figure this is karma.
-another friend tells a good story about having to babysit jamie cullum whilst he was tripping on magic mushrooms in Dublin and him being coerced into playing piano in a random bar and all he could do was stare at his hands.
-my brother sold a house to Cristian Vogels parents.

Just remembered this
In 1987, Squeaky Fromme escaped from prison into the woods near my house. My mom wouldn't let us leave the house because Squeaky might be out there. She was discovered in the hunting cabin across the road, eating handfuls of mayonnaise

on the limited number of occasions I've met Benga, he was very nice. Certainly not someone I'd throw a notepad at anyway. Artwerk and I once passed a pleasant evening ridiculing people in a bar in Brixton. I had no idea who he was, and have never seen him before or since.
no. but it sounds like a dickhead thing. poor double.

Yeah I've seen it.
There's a Stomin one on a similar vibe that's 100 times worse as well.
I sold a bike to Steve Winwood
My dad says he auditioned for the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Jimmy Cliff's band - hmmmm
I was at what I think was the first White Stripes gig in London
Bought some pills off Billy Nasty
Felix Buxton was in the year above me at school
My mate gave Kurt Cobain a bottle of water at their Rock City gig in 1991
Shook Sven Vath's hand at Tribal Gathering in 1993. It was cold and smooth, like plastic.
Threw a bottle towards the Orb during a quiet bit at a show in Birmingham.
Found a switch on a console at the End which entirely filled the main room with dense smoke during a Dave Angel set.

haha, shit I forgot, stormin was at some girls house like last year just chilling with his boy, I came there for a drink & shit, ended up picking up a SHY benners off him..
oh well, he lives in the Y now, people see him in my ends all the time
He very brazenly tried to pick up my girlfriend, full well knowing she was my girlfriend. She snitched, I flipped.
On another note,
Once while sitting in the lobby of the Sanderson waiting on my Dad who was staying there on a visit, I witnessed Amy Winehouse punch her brother in the jaw and start quite an uproar involving what appeared to be most of the building's available security. The funniest part was when security started to take down the brother, screaming "Don't fucking touch me!", she joined in screaming "Don't fucking touch him!" as if they started it.
When my Dad and I left to go down the pub her bro was outside on a cell phone trying to get a lift home and sounding very pissed off indeed. It was alot.
Later that night this happened.
