Gordon once implausibly claimed, in an effort to look as hip as young Cameron, that he woke up to the sound of the Artic Monkeys on his iPod. It was later conceded that the claim was ridiculous spin which he blamed on his image advisers.

Which Modest Mouse album Dave bought is not known. Guido suspects it was Baron Von Bullshit.
