    I sat opposite DJ Shadow in a private lounge before a gig of his - just the two of us. I drank a bottle of lager, he a bottle of water. We said nothing to one another and barely exchanged a couple of non-commital looks.

    He, because he's famous and wtfshouldhe? Me because although I liked his music at the time, I had fuck-all idea what he looked like, so this guy in the lounge was Just Some Dude to me.

    By the time I saw him on stage afterwards I was fairly stoned so just laughed inwardly about when I realised.

    Point being - looking back, I hope he presumed I knew who he was (I was at his gig, after all) and just thought I was being totally laid back and chill for just letting him be.

    The conceit is —
    for a second, perhaps DJ Shadow thought *I* was cool.
