''A story based on my experiences of the United Sounds of ATP festival, weekend two. I met a really great person that I spent most of the Sunday with. We started speaking because of the band t-shirt I was wearing, which is pretty much the ideal 'in' I think. Basically the gist of it is once we'd both left the festival, I found out she had a boyfriend, and hadn't mentioned it. Which made me feel awful, and got me thinking that so long as I value people according to what bands they like I am making myself expendable. Because there will always be somebody who likes the same bands as me, but is vastly more attractive or can drive or is a less fussy eater.
The title is ripped off from the Camera Obscura song, 'Knee Deep At The NPL', because one of the conversations I remember hearing her have was about that song, and my friend Pete's suggestion that it didn't exist.
Naturally she was right. ''
