There are a couple of funny stories about Nick Lowe that I love.

First, he wanted to get fired from his record label in the mid-70s so he recorded a purposefully-dreadful Bay City Rollers tribute EP. This didn't work as it was a hit in Japan so he then recorded another called Lets Go To The Disco, which did the trick.

When David Bowie released his album "Low" Lowe responded with an EP called "Bowi".

Class.
