Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky was born in 1970 in Washington DC, to academic parents. Following his college years spent amidst the ‘whispering pines’ of Bowdoin College, Main, and having picked up degrees in French literature and philosophy, Spooky began writing science fiction. In the mid-nineties he began his recording career with a series of singles and the ’96 album, ‘Songs of a Dead Dreamer’.

Rarer still, in such situations, was my decision to follow my head. Predictably enough, it was a decision I lived to regret. The bands in question were, of course, The Arctic Monkeys and The Drones. One playing in the sold out Atelier (LU) and the other in, as it turned out, an embarrassingly empty Kulturfabrik (LU). When I spoke to Drones front man Gareth Liddiard, after an early sound check, he seemed resigned, and a bit pissed off, to have had the bad luck to be involved in such a fixture clash.
