i was a guest dj with a very good friend of mine (who is now deceased -- miss you Dave) that had multiple weekly DJ spins - for a night of 70s/80s/90s 45s/12" singles. he had all sorts of Stereolab 45s that he dug out for the night. was outstanding.

When I was a teenager, I house sat for a friend of my parents. Their adult son had a bunch of Stereolab vinyl, 10"s, 7"s, etc. I called him to ask if I could listen to them. He told me I could have them. I was very happy that day.

When I was 20 I drove 6 hours to see Stereolab. My friend and I arrived early, and we saw them arrive in the tour bus, and they chatted w/ us. I had my first beer (I was previously straight-edge). It was a good road trip.

I might have to catch the interview in the archives. I'm in the middle of moving.

Sheila, I'm currently coordinating a Debsey retrospective radio program (co-hosted by Faye) to coincide with her Saint Etienne appearance in New York.

Also, I'd love to see your copy of Demonstration Tapes — mine (No. 0407) is the only copy I've actually ever seen. I've only heard about Mike A.'s copy.

It was unusual to say the least, actually the first stop on the tour. Things went wrong at the end when Byrne wanted to introduce the band. His mike was dead, ended up throwing whatever was in his cup in a roadies face. I think he's come a long way since then.
