Whoa! I was lucky enough to interview Lush three times and found them to be exceptionally cool, funny people. The first time I spoke with Miki, she mentioned that she was SICK AND TIRED of people yelling "Get Yer Tits Out" at her. The next time I interviewed them, I fanboyishly brought a disc for them to autography. Without ever mentioning it during the second interview, she scrawled on the booklet.
"Dear Alex -- Get Yer Tits Out, xoxoxo Miki".
Still have it.
