In fact, most of Rephlex's roster on the website is just "Dave: Some bloke he met in a pub who plays a Casio VL-1" or "Ronald: A crazy guy playing a harmonica on the train that RDJ met at Kings Cross". Now, it's great of RDJ and co to offer people a chance to get their music released on his label, you can't ask much more of a friend than that, it's just a shame he seems to do it at the expense of all the musicians who *don't* know him. Of course, there are probably a few artists on there who aren't just 'friends of a friend' (like Mike Dredd, I think), but you never know the connection... Jeremy.
