pleasantly UNexpected ALi-MO fan

while strolling through breezy shinjuku last night, i felt a sudden tap on my shoulder. a young man with close-cropped hair grinned up at me. he was wearing a suit and bearing a backpack.
"hey, man," he said.
i squinted. he was grinning with recognition.
"hey," he repeated.
we stared at one another. the masses flowed past us.
the filofax in my head was flipping madly. who was he?
"ali-mo," he finally said. "i've been to your gigs."
ah. very cool.
