goes.

This place I buy my analogue equipment from, sell him stuff
all the time. They said his orders always say "If not home
leave by the tank"

actually aleksi perälä told me that rdj once locked him in
the vault for what seemed like 20 minutes. don't know if it
is the same bank though.

someone found the bank on google maps like three years ago.
it's around the corner from some metal and glass memorial to
tesla, elephant and castle. he moved out of that bank ages
ago, i'm sure, so probably no harm in digging up the
address...

genuinely appreciate the nfoz. however, i'm afraid you
binned a topic containing this information as little as
three years ago for being "creepy" or something, so this is
"Welcome to 2009" at least

...and, that's not even the bank anyways:

"I'm a Londoner, and I think you're mixing the two
different places he lived in London.

Hackney/Stoke Newington is in north London (north of the
river) and he lived in a normal house there (I remember him
talking in an interview about the other people in the street
complaining about all the noise from his house) Presumably
the '98 Stoke Newington' you mention was the address of that
place. I think he lived there around the Hangable Auto Bulb
- RDJ Album kind of era. I think this was also the place
where he was flatmates with Global Goon.

Then he got fed up with the neighbours and bought a bank in
the Elephant and Castle area in south London (south of the
river). The bank had a soundproof vault that he wanted to
use as a studio. Though apparently there were rats in the
vault, which caused a problem, so I don't know if he ever
got it sorted out in there. This was in the time between RDJ
and Druqks. I think he lived there until quite recently,
maybe a year or two ago?

I remember in an interview he said that it was near the
Ministry of Sound club, because he said the queue for the
club sometimes went past his building and he would drop
stuff on them.

Ministry of Sound: 103 Gaunt Street Lambeth SE1 6DP

Elephant and Castle is quite a run-down area, there are lots
of empty/little used office buildings there, and a really
horrible shopping centre. But probably a good place to live
if you're a reclusive musician."

I know, that read like a haiku. I need to practice my
English, with something other than this DJ Frankie Holmes
track I'm listening to now. This track is depressing me.

I never said the address was the bank's address, did I?

Considering the man himself gave me the address to send
parcels to, I'd consider it a legitimate address of his (at
one time).

my failure to write down the address from three years ago
and/or screencap google maps will haunt me forever, and make
my compulsion to bag & tag random internets shit even worse
than it is now.

SECRET 1: All posts in this thread are being made on
Macintosh Performas using the bank's LAN, during breaks of
playing Bolo and Marathon 2.

SECRET 2: RDJ smokes up with Whoopi Goldberg, which was a
huge influence in the vibes of SAW Vol II.

SECRET 3: XLT is the result of a joint project between the
Hungarian and South Korean government.

So you're implying you still live in 2001 by posting his
older pre-bank address, while you appear to respond to
someone discussing his newer bank address?

Welcome to 2001, I guess. Wasn't that the year you had your
last contact with mr. " quite good" James?
