https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Richard/ba-p/922031 <P><STRONG><STRONG>Hey <a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/13">@Richard</a>,&nbsp;&nbsp;thanks for taking the time to have a coffee and a quick chat today. Mind telling the Community about yourself?</STRONG></STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Hello! I'm Richard. I'm a libra. I like long walks and hot baths.<IMG src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/23723iAAA2AAC77248A28D/image-size/medium?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="970744_10152892119730405_813482606_n.jpg" title="970744_10152892119730405_813482606_n.jpg" align="right" /></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>In my spare time I like to write short stories and shop for excitingly coloured socks.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>We hear you’ve seen British Sea Power live more times than Wes Anderson has worn tweed (13 right?). What’s your second favorite band and how many shows have you seen?</STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>That's right! I've seen BSP fourteen times now, and I'm showing no signs of stopping.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If I had to pick a second favourite band, I'd go with&nbsp;<A href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/6VsiDFMZJlJ053P1uO4A6h" target="_blank">Public Service Broadcasting</A>. I've only seen <EM>them</EM>&nbsp;four times, but I'm catching up! Also, their initials are PSB, so it's almost like being at a BSP gig anyway.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But let’s say you stumbled on a book with a picture of Adam lounging on a boat in the River Cam with an umbrella in one hand and a meerkat in the other with the title “Mysterious Ducklings”, what would you surmise about this book and its plot?</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></P> <P>Well to begin with, you absolutely <EM>should</EM>&nbsp;judge books by their covers. Covers are an essential part of the book-reading experience.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>And with regards to that particular cover, it sounds like a delightfully wistful sort of country romp. I'm getting a sort of <EM>Wind in the Willows</EM>&nbsp;kind of vibe, just with a meerkat instead of Mole. When can I read it?</P> <P><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>Rumor also has it Rushmore is a favorite film. Did you start a society in high school or at university? If you didn’t, which would you have been most likely to start?</STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Rushmore is a fantastic film, and a lot of people have independently said that I remind them of Max Fischer.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>At university I was president of the 'Amoral Sciences Club' - basically a stuffy sort of philosophy society. It involved getting students together once a week to drink wine and eat biscuits. Happy days...</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>Before we say farewell, please tell us your best joke. &nbsp;</STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><EM>Q: What's big and small at the same time?</EM></P> <P><EM>A: A big egg.</EM></P> Sat, 20 Sep 2014 07:47:18 GMT meahtenoha 2014-09-20T07:47:18Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Richard/ba-p/922031 <P><A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Community-Blog/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Richard/ba-p/922031"><IMG src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/23721i3B7E701D6AB9B4DD/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="backstage pass.png" title="backstage pass.png" align="center" /></A></P> Sat, 20 Sep 2014 07:47:18 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Richard/ba-p/922031 meahtenoha 2014-09-20T07:47:18Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Richard/bc-p/922143#M4462 <P>Fun read <a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/13">@Richard</a>! But come on - show us a pic of a pair of excitingly coloured socks you've got! I'm quite curious now - probably&nbsp;not plain colours, but combos of colour - or a mix of different - or... my imagination is spinning! <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:22:24 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Richard/bc-p/922143#M4462 Fred 2014-09-19T14:22:24Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Richard/bc-p/922183#M4463 <P>Shocked there wasn't a shameless plug for your book cover blog. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":face_with_tongue:">😛</span>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:54:19 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Richard/bc-p/922183#M4463 Peter__ 2014-09-19T14:54:19Z
