[artists: origins] bands who met through record shops

Tags: 
  • Husker Du (Bob Mould bought pot from clerk Grant Hart)
  • The Sex Pistols (Steve Jones and Paul Cook visited Glen Matlock at Malcolm McLaren's store)
  • R.E.M. (Michael Stipe visited Peter Buck)
  • Smashing Pumpkins (James Iha visited Billy Corgan)
  • The Cardigans (Per-Magnus Söder bought Cure and Smiths LPs from Pelle Gustafsson's shop)

Don't forget IN'SYNC, they met at the Franklin Avenue Best Buy in Orlando, FL.

I would definitely need some sort of article to back that up. I always assumed they first met in Lou Perlman's '86 Buick, scarfing down ill-offered Pixie Sticks.

Didn't J.C. Chasez and Justin work the Mickey Mouse Club together?

Boy, Mickey sure has a lot to answer for, eh?

Shalom, y'all!

them, Britney, Christina, Keri Russell... so much grief from one cable teenybopper show...

Wow, I didn't realize the Keri Russell connection. Thanks for the info...

Shalom, y'all!

Yes, and I think she was on around the same time as Britney, which is curious since Britney claims to be a lot younger...
