Fave Popscene Moment: When Muse played at Popscene and the place was so crowded that we had to set up a DJ booth in the kitchen so I put on a chef's coat while I spun records.  Then during Muse's set people were getting so crazy that the giant speaker stands started wobbling so I spent their whole performance holding up these giant speakers so no one would get crushed.

Autolux were also super amazing when they played at Popscene.
