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...

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.
