The day we err, interviewed Steve, err, Lamacq

Virtual Lamacq - Experience what it might be like to meet the skinny, cider-guzzling, peanut-munching legend, by placing yourselves into the minds of, err, us, when we interviewed him on May 31st 2001! Yay!

Steve Lamacq

 

 

Anyway... the things that were going through our minds that day...

 

Caroline thinks:

 

 Laura thinks:

 

2:00 Well at least we've found the place. Wonder if we've got time for some dinner first. Ooh I wonder if Comedy Dave’s anywhere abouts..
2:20 Oh crap, it's 2:20 already. Better finish our food and go to the toilet. This chip butty’s got way too much marge in it.
2:30 So this is Radio One reception. I expected it to be bigger. That woman on reception is friendly. Oooh, free postcards! Hmm, now where’s Dave I wonder..
2:31 I wish I didn't have to ask all the questions. Why isn't Laura nervous? Ho hum.
2:35 He's here! He's even skinnier than he looks in photos. He's pretty short too. He's like a miniature man. Hehehe!
2:36 Oh my God, I've just dropped my bag and the contents has rolled out onto the floor of Radio One reception. HAHAHA.. Caroline’s so silly…
2:36 30secs Oh my God, I've just dropped my bag and the contents has rolled out onto the floor of Radio One reception. Again. Oh my God. HAHAHAHA!
2:38 Look at him bouncing down the road. Maybe it's those air cushioned soles. No, he's not wearing his DMs. Maybe it's the lack of gravity holding him down. Oh my God, we’re walking down the road with Steve Lamacq, this is so funny, must stifle my giggles.
2:40 The Ship. Wow, he mentions this at the front of his book. And he interviews loads of bands here. Here's the pub.. Ho hum.
2:41 He's ordering his trademark cider! This is surreal - actually watching Steve Lamacq order cider. What shall I have to drink.. ooh why not be perverse..
2:42 Better not have anything to drink or I'll need the toilet, I just had some coke with my dinner. But if I say no it'll look rude. Yeah Orange & Lemonade sounds good..
2:45 A little bit of chit-chat before the interview. This isn't so scary. Da da da.
2:55 Is this recording? Oh well, here goes... Ah this isnt one bit scary..
3:05 I need the toilet. For me at least..
3:10 This is just like listening to the radio. Cos I don’t have to do much besides sit here..
3:15 Actually, this is really weird. And listen..
3:20 I really need the toilet now. Amusing..
3:27 Questions over. Wow, he's gonna tell us a funny anecdote about Liam Gallagher chatting up some woman by talking about the spiritual side of Oasis songs... Ooh, I wonder what the story about Liam will be about!
3:28 Why is he laughing hysterically? Was that it? Oh my God, we missed the punch line! What.. is that it?!
3:28 30 secs Oh thank God, Laura has managed to fake a small giggle. Oh dear I better fake laugh cos this is so embarrassing….
3:31 Would it be too cheeky to ask him to record a few idents and stuff? And sign our books? Or would that just be too sad? Oh dear, Caroline’s asking him to record idents and sign her book. How sad.
3:41 Anyway, time to go. Lamacq is a top bloke. Ah that was fun, for me at least.
3:43 Has Laura got my camera case? Wonder if Comedy Dave’s anywhere about?

 

We made a five minute Session In The Nations stylee "Session Obsession" out of some of the bits from the interview. Once we've worked out how to turn it into an MP3, email us and you'll be able to have a listen!

 

Read the story of our second encounter with Lamacq. (So embarrassing.)
