Anecdotes from Behind the Retail Frontline

Holly Johnson, carrying his small white terrier, overheard us talking about Ian McCulloch. He told us a scandalous story about him that even here I can't repeat. Johnson had been coming into the shop for a couple of years and this was the first time he'd said anything to us apart from thanks.

Behind the counterculture is a recurring series of celebrity encounters or near encounters in or close to a West London used book and record store.

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
