Met him in a bar after his gig. Wasn't planned either, just saw him there, walked over and chatted.
He was pretty kind, we spoke for around 40 minutes. He even told me where he was staying, ooohh er.
It was very PG though. Nothing overly raunchy was discussed. His breath smelt really great and his hair kept brushing my cheek. He's not as tall as he seems but he's sickly thin. Freckles under his eyes and his glasses kept fogging up when we spoke.
We did talk about Artery and how he was doing a commission for them in London and we both discussed how shit Brian Molko is. He play acts a lot as well.
Nice guy though!
Oh, and he's stopped smoking due to a heart problem, as he told me.
Probably best that I never meet him in a bar as he'd probably think I'm a bit of a toss pot!
What the hell is going on with his finger in that pic?! From here it makes his hand look like a claw! You didn't notice a spikey tail and horns by any chance?!
Ho ho. It's funny you should mention the drinking!
I'd just seen his gig and by the time I went and met him I'd had around 12 vodka and cranberries. This is no exaggeration.
It was an absolute miracle that I was able to have a somewhat intelligent conversation with him without making a prat of myself! I was 'eerily calm' as friendly bystanders commented.
Let me tell you though, from the waist down my legs were in jitters.
And the freaky finger is caused by excessive guitar playing and lack of hand care, I think. Jarvis needs a manicure,

Yeah, smoking does that to you. It was awful because I pulled out a pack of cigarettes and offered him one, proudly hoping we could share a little moment and he told me he'd quit and hadn't smoked it 12 days.
He's tried to quit smoking before... here's hoping he stays on the wagon this time. Sounds like his life depends on it.
The wifey met Jarvis way back in '94 and she said he was really sweet. He doesn't seem to have much time for his male fanbase, eh? Can't say I blame, sorry lot we are.
i don't know, 12 vodkas before pulling off a 40 minute conversation with a fringe icon is pretty interesting. i met david byrne after a show as he was trying to bicycle back to his hotel and he couldn't get away from me fast enough (although he was a bit pissed off that i stole the setlist from the stage before the set was over.)
Heart problem? Clawed fingers? Sounds like the poor bloke is falling apart! Quick... phone the Daily Mirror and sell Milk's story before she gets there!!
I'm trying to quit smoking too, day 5..... It's bloody hard work!
Btw MILK:
The expression on your's and Jarv's faces in the pic suggests to me that you have just grabbed him by the crotch as the flash went!!!
Heart problem!!
Perhaps, because of smoking.
