Anorak's Corner

Schmoover than the average band

Huey and Fast are both ambidextrous! Huey holds his fork in his left hand and Fast holds his in his right!
The band's favourite sandwich is a Rocky Balboa sandwich, which contains steak, cheese and onion. Eeew.
FLC's 'celebrity' fans (and I use the word celebrity in its loosest manner), include Konnie Huq (the really irritating one off Blue Peter) and Steve Wilson (who was sacked from Live and Kicking earlier this year). I suppose Ian McCulloch, Garbage, and Republica #shivers at the mention# also count.
Mimosa was originally going to be called 'Lounge 'A' Palooza'. Really! Check the sleeve notes to 'I'm not in Love'
In the U.S. (well on CDnow.com at least), FLC's music is classed as DANCE.
Nope. I'm not laughing. Not funny. Just a nervous twitch...#smothered laughter#
Motts, as in 'Yeah I got the Motts' in Passive/Aggressive is apparently apple sauce.
I always thought FLC had started talking French. Mots rather than Motts. D'oh!
FLC in town? Look out for TransAm Trucking trucks.

Fast does not have a Christmas tree in his Brooklyn apartment.
Fast does not like Celebrity Deathmatch!
Fast does like Matteo's shark linguine!
Fast uses Houlton valve oil for his trumpet - the best in the biz!
Fast drinks Volvic mineral water at gigs, hates Stella, and obviously loves Miller GD.
Fast's Black Shirt has dress-shirt stylee sewn in bits on the front. (Actually, if they did 'em in women's too, I wouldn't mind a one of them. Anyone know where he got it?)
UPDATE: Fast's Black Shirt as worn on the one2one tour and TFI is Christian Dior and costs Ł75 from Kendals (as at 4.32pm 22-12-00). Thanks Danny!
Fast has cold hands!
Fast wants to do more soundtracks.
Fast wears Prada shoes (well, he did once).
Fast has grown back his little goatee (as of 11-12-00).
Fast's parents live in North Carolina, and they have a star on the top of their Christmas tree!
Fast got a trumpet scholarship to Syracuse (college).
Fast uses Mesa-Boogie equipment, as does Jon Bon Jovi.
Research from and by a number of sources has revealed Fast's aftershave of choice to be Safari by Ralph Lauren.
My apologies to Boots.
Fast bites his fingernails, a sign of a nervous disposition.
Mate - call me, I can sort you out with a manicurist and some 'Stop 'n' Grow'!

Huey went to an all boys Catholic High school in New York (when he actually went to school)!
Huey's favourite sport is table tennis, but he used to play a lot of English football until he hurt his knee.
Huey's cleaning lady used to call him "Kiwi" because she couldn't say Huey!
One of Huey's favourite books is "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole
Sugar (Huey's dog) speaks very good Spanish!
For 1 million dollars Huey would happily go 3 months without washing, brushing his teeth or using deodorant!
Huey wants to do more presenting!
Huey's favourite designer is Alexander McQueen

Mackie used to be in the drummer with one-hit wonders Charles and Eddie who at one stage were called "Charles and Eddie and Mackie".
UPDATE: The one hit was 'Would I Lie To You?'. Yes , that one!

Mateo likes U2.
Mateo is an accredited chef, as is his brother, The Kid.
Mateo DJs at Shine on Thursday nights, after 2a.m. for a party known as 2amSHAG@Shine.
It doesn't mean the same in the UK guys - be warned!
Mateo's little bro, Kevin 'The Kid' features in the 'Go Fish' Scooby Snacks video as the guy making the cocktails.
Mateo is even hotter in real life!
