I met Squarepusher

I met Squarepusher.

What A Fucking Asshole.

So, he played a show in my city last night. I saw him over
by the bar standing by himself, so I thought, Oh cool,
Tom Jenkinson, I'll go say hello
.

So I went up to him and said, "Hi, just wanted to say I'm a
big fan and I appreciate you coming here to play, looking
foward to your set tonight". Then he said, "Yeah, thanks.."
and shook my hand. I could tell he didn't want to be
bothered or anything so I was about to just walk off, then I
remembered I had my camera with me, and I'd hate it if I
didn't get an up-close and personal pic of Squarepusher, so
I said, "Oh hey, do you mind if I take a quick picture
please?" - holding out the camera.

He said, "no".
Ok, so you're thinking like me, right? like 'no I don't
mind'
. So I hold up the camera to take a picture and
he's all like "NOOO!" and pushes the camera away, then says,
"Fuck You!" then shoves me. As I'm being shoved by
Squarepusher I say, "Well fuck you!" and pushed his extended
arm away from me, and stepped back into place right in front
of him (just a gut-reaction). Then he said, "I said no, I
fucking mean, no!"

By this time everyone standing around us is staring.
Everyone that can tell what's going on has the same look on
their face as me, which is a combination wtf/lol
face. So I'm looking around at all these other people who,
understandably, can't believe what they're seeing, then I
just snapped into it and realized how rediculous it was.

Then I laughed and said, "Jesus Christ, sorry asshole.." and
walked off.

wow, that's fantastically and miserably disappointing. It's
really impressive how well you kept your head during all of
it--I'm glad you got in a word edgewise at the end.

I still listen to his tunes now and then (The good ones
anyway, all 9 or 10 of them) and it doesn't bother me, but
what about poor old pomme? Everytime he puts Ultravisitor
on, he might start foaming at the mouth. Whereas I just fall
asleep...

Maybe he believes that everytime you take a picture of
someone you steal a part of their soul.

I met the Twin once at a Blech night, and I just said "I
love you Richard" (they were playing some classic Caustic
Window at the time and I got carried away) and he looked
chuffed and said "Aw, thanks".

Fact: Aphex Twin is a friendly soul and a music god.
Fact: Squarepusher isn't nearly as good and by all
accounts is a sour cunt.

otherwise?
