"I gotta good Cole story. Wanna hear my Lloyd Cole story? Well, I was 
over here mixing a record in '84 and I had to do some pictures out in 
the East End. So I'm standing there and this guy says, 'Hey, Tom, Lloyd 
Cole is across the road and he wants your autograph'! I didn't know who 
this Lloyd Cole was, y'know. So what do I care? He came in with all 
these records and I autograph them. A week later, I heard he'd done a 
version of 'Glory', the old Television song. When I heard it, I thought, 
'Uh uh, that's sort of interesting'.
"Then I met his cousin or a friend of his brother from Glasgow, who told 
me that Cole used to come home from school and practice singing to Lou 
Reed and Tom Verlaine records in front of a wardrobe mirror. I thought 
that was hilarious! I started to listen to his stuff a little more 
closely and detected a bad simulation there in the vocal style."
