cass, 21, living with hysteria. hello

all girls should have a poem
written for them even if
we have to turn this god-damn world
upside down to do it

People say I ‘discovered’ or ‘made’ certain bands, but I never really think of it like that. I don’t have a series of notches on my bedpost. They discovered themselves really, or some record company or manager did, and what I did was what I’m paid to do - play their records on the radio. I didn’t discover The Undertones or Joy Division - they made magnificent records and I played them because I loved them. The fact that most other people were not playing them is the thing, but you’d have to ask them why that was. I think I helped listeners discover the bands, and if one more person has the chance to see Misty In Roots because they heard them on one of my shows, then I’m happy about that.

I don’t tend to mix with bands. I’m too shy or respectful, and I don’t think I would know what to say. I don’t know very much about their history. Also, there’s that thing about not wanting to lower my admiration of them, which I might do if I met them, and I feel they’d certainly have a lower impression of me.’
