I have met a few "celebs" over the years, especially during my time as a radio journalist for the Student Radio in Bergen. They where all very nice people, except perhaps Natasha Atlas, who were cranky as hell.. I didn't actually meet her but i did an interview with here over the phone. I did meet Merzbow - That was kinda funny coz we had to have an interpreter who didn't speak Japanese that well anyway and who knew absolutely NOTHING about noise music. The interview was a bit slow... Meeting Cranes was one of the greatest moments in my radio journalism-days. I spent all night with them and my heart almost stopped when Alison Shaw first stepped into the room to talk to me prior to the gig. Great people, the Cranes.. I also met Matt 'Third Eye Foundation' Elliot. We smoked a splif and talked about Aphex Twin. Nice... But my favorite encounter with a celeb must have been Mark Eitzel. He did a gig in Bergen i '98 and I had quit my radio engagements by then. After the gig he mixed with the (very small) crowd. My brother made contact with him and made me come over to where he was sitting. We talked all night! About everything from Nick Drake's suicide to electronica. I ended up giving him a cd by german electronica-band Sensorama, coz they built this track around a sample of one of Eitzel's songs. He liked it very much. Well, that's some of the artists I have been fortunate enough to meet. I really wish I could meet Autechre - That would be awesome! Now, tell me who YOU met! |

I was once at a Swell-concert. I got there a bit early, and was the first person in the room. Except for some drunk sitting in a dark corner. He looked scary and dirty... i left the room and had a drink at the bar before i came back to the actual concert-room and some more people had filled up the room. The opening band was really shitty and played far too long. I got really bored. And when they finally finished it took the roadies and technicians over an hour to properly set up all of Swell's equipment on the stage. God i was bored! I just waited and waited and it seemed like an eternity. Then finally everything was set up and the bandmembers walked onto the stage. And to my surprise the drunken bum suddenly got up from his corner, climbed onto the stage and walked up to the microphone. Haha, it turned out he was actually David Freel... one of my musical heroes... and i passed up on the chance to discuss his music with him for over an hour (well, if i would have recognised him i probably wouldn't have had the guts to speak to him anyway, but...:-p). |

congratulations, surrounded. That must be the most boring story i've heard all year. Did you do anything else that day - like yawn or scratch your ass or something? Anything at all, just to brighten up your fucking deadly dull story. |
