EXPIRED: 08/20/10 – Charles Haddon, 22, borrowed an old synth from a friend 2 years ago and loved the way it sounded. So he started a synth band on the spot with mates Joe Hutchinson and Caan Capan. They were based in Camden, London and called themselves Ou Est Le Swimming Pool.
Within the hour we had an awful cover of Rihanna’s song ‘Umbrella‘. It ended up getting played by a DJ in a major London club, so we thought: “Let’s make something good”.
EXPIRED: 10/19/09 – Howard Unruh, 88, was a shy kid that was sent to war during World War II. Reportedly he was a brave soldier, operated a tank, served in the Battle of the Bulge, and kept meticulous notes of every German killed, down to details of the corpse. He was honorably discharged in 1945, and returned home with a collection of medals and firearms.
He came home to Camden, New Jersey and lived with his mother. She worked. He became a recluse.
Today they would call it post-traumatic stress disorder. Back then they called him weird.
