i just remembered that i have another friend who is also much much cooler than me who knew the folk from the mekons when they were first starting out in leeds--apparently they would call his answering machine and play thei new tunes into the telephone. he says he still has the tapes. i tried to get him to break them out from time to time, but we were always in a bar when we would have the conversation and it never panned out.
and yet another friend who is childhood friends with folk from the flaming lips
and another who apparently taught the guitarist from interpol how to play.
i do not have such cool stories, because i am less cool than these folk.
