i found this and it looked amazing, i Bumped into Tom jenkinson last friday at a warp party, he is one of my heros and huge huge influence, my body was shaking i was talking to TOM Jenkinson!!! :O.. here what happed when i met him.

ME AND MY FRIEND CAZ MET MR.TOM JENKINSON AKA SQUAREPUSHER...when i saw him i said to caz oh look there is tom jenkinson and she was like noo? so i wanged it over to the side of the stage and boom he came down and i said are you tom jenkinson? and he goes "in a matter of fact i am" so i held out myhand to shake his hand and he just looked at it and then i did it again; he said "i\'ve got my hands full, so how are you?" i said i was great and how he was a big idol of mine..now tom has a Full on beard and looks nothing like the picture of the ultravisiter album cover. I chatted to tom for about 7 minutes, i said i loved his stuff and he was really grateful of the kind words and "im glad someone likes it i better do more, and i mean that thanks so much" then Caz came over and i introduced caz to my mate Tom, and Tom Squarepushed Caz also told him i saw him at glade festival and how much he "rocked" probally the wrong term you use when your talking to Tom,maybe not. He kept leaning over to me and his beard was on my sholder, and ke kept thanking me for buying his albums and the kind words (what are you ment to be liek when you meet your hero?) which is understandable, i told him i\'ll be at his next gig and he looked at me and goes "oooh i dunno when that will be". Tom is such a Great Guy who is Soo normal...but makes such amazing music! After he left (he left because he "wasnt in the mood and wanted to go home") i just stood there shaking and looking at caz with a huge grin on my face and "i kept saying i just spoke to tom" over and over again! Bloody brilliant! DO YOU KNOW SQUAREPUSHER? COZ I DO

I ALSO MET CYLOB, AND PISSED OFF JOANNA (Aphex Twins EX-GIRLFRIEND) AND TALKED TO NED WHO I SAW AT GLADE, WHO WORKS FOR WARP WHO IS INTRESTED IN MY MUSIC, I CAN TELL YOU IT WAS THE BEST WEEKEND I\'VE HAD IN A LONG LONG LONG TIME!

that\'s so cool, thanks for the story.
i bought my first squarepusher album in 1996.
"feed me weird things"
it was great, and i was thinking (still thinking) that this guy is bringing a tradition from jaco pastorius to a new level.
some times his stuff is pretty erratic but allways interesting.

yeah, if you hear most of his older stuff; feel me weird things, big loada, do you know squarepusher,: that was tom at his "programing stage" if you hear Ultravisitor he Goes back to the feel of music is rotted one note(maybe not so freestyle) and blends in Jazz into hardcore Squarepusher, also the album also sounds like it\'s done live, but it\'s not..it\'s weird. if you havnt got his new album check some of it out/buy it on bleep. http://www.warprecords.com/bleep/?label=Warp (Check out iambic 9 poetry/and the title track) i think thats right..but going out ona limb im saying your japanese and that = Bonus tracks and 8 page booklet instead of 0 pages! check out the 2 disc do you knwo squarepusher with 1 live disc from the fuiiji rock vestival 2001 where he plays mostof his go plastic album live..
