I got to hang out quite a bit with both of tonight’s artists when I worked as a music journalist in the mid 00s… They’re all are lovely, fun people who make great music and you can’t not want them to succeed.

Summer 1979. I'd finished my first year at college. There is no internet, but a frenzy has been whipping up among weird kids for this movie for months.

One of the chief sources of information for nerds was Omni Magazine (In the US and UK). I had subscribed to it for its entire lifetime.
