A story about Laetitia Sadier

Circa-1995, Stereolab was touring for Mars Audiac Quintet, supported by Prolapse. I saw her on the street, by herself, outside Great American Music hall, in San Francisco. It was hours before the show, with no one around, and I joked the she had better watch out or she might get mobbed. “Are you going to mob me?” she asked in the most deadpan of ways. It made the joke seem even more stupid.
