The most famous person I know

Aug112009

I remember when it used to be me!

Suddenly it is theodin.co.uk, see his twittering for all the press and interviewing and so on he's doing. This reminded me of when I was flavour of the month! I don't have much evidence of this any more, but found this, think this was in MP3 magazine about ten years ago. Yes there was a short lived magazine dedicated to this new technology of music without a physical format. It'll never catch on.

Still, four page spread in an actual magazine people bought in WH Smiths:





My face was split by the fold,and people got confused and thought that small pic with the sunglasses was me, think it was someone from Doves that I was using to illustrate a story...

Popex is long gone, it was my game, my brain child, I sold out and gradually wore it into the ground but it's still running today as bbc.co.uk/celebdaq.

I should probably namecheck another famous friend, Emma as she is visiting this week and we're having lunch on Thursday:

From Flickr

She will love that.

UPDATE: If those page scans don't show up above I put them on Flickr...

I remember Popex with fondness. When my Darkness shares took off and made me look like I knew what I was doing, well that was almost as good as their having taken off in real life. :D

Glory days!

The Darkness used to have their share price with a link to popex from their original homepage, before you took over! Justin was signed up.
