I have Mark Lanegan's cigarette stub. I leant over the barrier after seeing him and picked it up. For some reason.

A friend of mine was at the bar at a Get Up Kids gig ages ago, saw one of them getting a drink, didnt know what to say/do, so grabbed his can of cider when he turned away and ran off. Genius.

I have Andrew Falkous' Tesco Metro receit

He bought a sandwhich

It is in my box of precious things


What's so clever about stealing someone's drink?!

Idiot.

I really hate it when people idolise musicians and their possesions like this. It's so weird.


he says it was almost involunary, he just freaked out

LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP

I dont sit and wank over the cigarette (I cant even remember where it is) and I was about 15 when I took it.


I have a playing card that says 'poo' on it

It once belonged to DJ Speedranch. Other than that I don't own any other possessions that once belonged to musicians.


...

I have a branded towel that Eminem threw off the stage when he played the Islington Academy.

I keep it in my box marked "...to go on ebay when I can be bothered."

Which also contains a Fergie The (Dyslexic) Dutchess make-up bag.


my mate has Fred Durst's cap actually

he got dragged onstage at Wembley and given it


I used to have the drummer from Incubus' drumstick

that he threw into the crowd after they'd played the Barrowlands on the Morning View tour. It's the only time I've ever caught something that was thrown into a crowd. I felt well cool.

Sadly, I lost it during one of many flat-moves. Sorry Jose!


.

i caught an acid mothers temple guitar pick after their mars volta atp show. i was so close to getting hold of the neck of the guitar they had just smashed, which would have been way cool.

i also have damo suzuki's business card, which is odd. and a broken charlottefield drumstick.


many many hearts

of many many musicians.


i have

dimbags guitar pick from a pantera gig in manchester, also this one is the oddest but maybe not the coolest i own a bass/keyboaard amp that was used by boy george's backing band in the 80's haha


a big sign that says

'We Are Bandini!' on one side and 'This is not an art exhibition' on the other, courtesy of The Strange Death of Liberal England.
It's quite large - carrying it home on the train to brighton was challenging but I am rather fond of it.


I smoked Johnny Marr's hash

(It "owned" me)


...

...i have some fake dripping 'slime' formerly owned by absurdist, avant-noise trio white mice


Patrick wolfs reciept

for £3.12's worth of pick n mix i got whilst I worked at woolworths.


I have one of Eddie Argos's socks

Its on my wall under the ticket from the ULU gig with the string section and a Victorian English Gentlemens Club drumstick..although thats not odd, I got handed it by one of them at the Artrocker 5th birthday also with Art Brut, the only minute in my life I have felt cool.


i've got half a drumstick

that hit me on the head during a part chimp gig.


i have

Girl Talk's sock. i can't seem to throw it away...


a friend of mine

stole a teaspoon from a studio that he knew nick cave had used
