I went to school with Muse. And Seth Johnson. And a little chap who plays for Exeter City. And the google-friendly Layla Jade. I'm related to Howard Wilkinson and Florence Nightingale. My brother used to know Thom Yorke. My dad got made redundant by Chris Martin's dad. When I was 10 I was on CBBC's Clockwise, presented by then-star-in-the-making Darren Day. I once got introduced to Sean Hughes and yer man from Gene at an Embrace aftershow party. I don't know Woody Allen. My mate's girlfriend once slept in David Bowie's drinks cabinet.

I saw Zack De La Rocha in Selfridges.
I was thrown out of Bernard Butler's house.
I met Chris from Menswear in a pub (OK, the Good Mixer *gulp*) before I knew who they were. He told me about his band, and I thought he was a weirdo.
I saw Hope Sandoval in a record store in LA.
I saw Jack Lemmon getting out of a car in LA.
I served Vinnie Jones when I was walking at the Hilton. Then I ate his leftovers.
I once spoke to John Darnielle on an internet music discussion board-I felt like a giddy schoolgirl!

Met Robbie Williams up in Camden when he was goig through his fat/Oasis phase. He was in a bar near the Good Mixer and me and a pal was drinking at the bar when I turned round and there he was. I was like "Hi Robbie," and turned back round and then double taked thus blowing my attempt at cool utterly. He was in a black shellsuit and sunglasses, out of his brain and we all started ranting about the Velvet Underground, us trying to see how little he knew. He was alright actually.

― Alex K (Alex K), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 13:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

That should be "working at the Hilton". Oops. And I served him FOOD.

Fuck the Good Mixer. Actually, after we'd escaped Robbie we went in there for a game of pool and I managed to crack some dude in the face when I pulled the cue back through his newspaper. I hate Camden.

Was an accident btw. i don't hate Camden that much.

Nicole - I know his brother-in-law. We were all hanging out there while he was in the US on tour, and he came back early. I was washing his dishes, and he walked in and looked at me and said "Who the fuck are you?". He had just fallen out with the rest of the band and his dad had just died. He quit Suede within the next month. He has a collection of NMEs and Melody Makers about six foot high, and lots of beer bottles with naked women on them.

Matt DC-applause!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 13:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

There really should be a "celebrities who look like gelflings" thread. But I've already started enough stupid ones.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 13:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

But that is the point of going to the Good Mixer! It's part of the tour that you give American friends when they come to visit to look at the indie popsters! Go down the GM and wait until Graham Blur or Chris Menswear turn up.

Except, the last time I went to the GM with Boyfriend X (of mildly successful indie band) to wait until indie popsters... and suddenly realised that all of the Swedish tourists were staring at US and whispering! V. embarrassing!

― kate, Tuesday, 8 April 2003 13:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

'mildly successful indie band' - Please don't say Menswear.

Also-Chris Rea nearly ran me over in his mid-life crisis car.

I met Rob Tyner of the MC5, when he was touring with an all-girl band called The Vertical Pillows about a year before he died. I told him I was a big MC5 fan (which is a bit of an exagerration but I do think they were swell) and he said, "Me too, kid, me too." He was very fat and had the big Jew-fro going and bad teeth and wore a full length leather trenchcoat over a t-shirt and sweatpants combo.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 13:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

More britpop brushes-

I am in a Sleeper video (not saying which one as I am v prominent), and the US video for Suede's "The Drowners".

I am not a fan of either band.

When I was at school, I went on a trip to Paris with the 6th Form and one day we was out there we went to like this beautiful hidden Chapel with 40ft stained glass widdows. You had to climb this narrow staircase to get up into this pitch black hall and you weren't allowed to speak because the experience was supposed to be so awe-inspiring. Anyway, we get up there and pretty soon someone spots Captain Jean Luc Picard with his missus so we all crowd over to him, as people are breaking down in tears and falling to their knees such is the splendour of this place and we daren't ask him for autographs cos, you know, you're not allowed to speak, so we come up with a cunning gambit. We take turns at sidling up to Picard and get our photo-taken as near to him as we can get without arousing suspician. Needless to say flash-bulbs going off in said Chapel weren't exactly encouraged and strangely Picard didn't seem to chuffed about the whole thing. Still, I got a hilarious picture, that I found all the more amusing since I didn't even like Star Trek.

-J@ck Wh!te tried to beat me up, partially cuz I was the first person to break that they're not bro-sis in print. (He's tried to beat up a lot of people in Detroit, actually.)
-You know that song "Ebow the Letter" by REM? Well, I wrote "the letter."
-Mark Eitzel and Kid Congo Powers once tried to set me up with their very nice stripper friend.
-Andrew WK went to high school two blocks away from my current apartment.
-Last weekend in NYC, I saw William Baldwin, Chloe Sevigny, and some standup comic who I've seen on Conan O'Brien.

He didn't take too kindly to my words, started gettin all angry, someone grabbed me and dragged me out of the party while I said, "why don't you talk to me like a man?" (brilliant!) and then he threw water and poof I was outside! Another time he threatened to drop a bowling ball on one of my buddies at the local water hole.

Cuba Gooding, Jr.- charming, funny. laughed when an idiot barback spilled cranberry juice on him. tipped huge. too bad his movies suck.
