Claim to Fame

Been in the NME, MM, Select, Guardian, Independent, Daily Record, Sun, and Star.
Been on Radio 1, BBC Radio Coventry & Warwickshire, KEXP, and BBC Radio London.
Been in a few music videos, most notably for Elastica (2 videos, 1 of which was used globally and had A-list on MTV).
Got my name on the back of many records, both LP's and singles.
Have a few discs hanging in my hallway (the gold and silver kind).

I was part of the blagging crew known as Menswear before people took it seriously and a real band emerged from it. Also worked closely with Elastica, Belle & Sebastian and unfortunately Snow Patrol. Owned a record label which released a single that got into Peel's Festive 50 (with a band called Sodastream).

Though even better than all of that, I once sold the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy album to Paul McCartney. And I once fell out* of a girl's** flat in Chelsea into the path of Lou Reed. Which are much better claims to fame than stuff I actually worked with.

• I had to get out before her parents realised I'd stayed over.
  ** I don't recall her name, she had curly hair tho'.
  
  

Not bad I suppose, but I've left my trump card in my back pocket. I went back stage to meet Cannon & Ball in 1985. Read it and weap....read it and weap
