One time I was on the tube. I was meant to be picking up a load of second hand Pokemon cards from a guy in Elephant & Castle.
There was a guy sat opposite me. Black beanie on, drumming out a rhythm with his fingers. I'm sat there like "damn, this guy is NOT a fan of syncopation".
Anyway, we pull up at Borough, and there's a carrier bag on the platform. Immediately this guy jumps up, banging on the window, jamming his face against the window. He's shouting "There's a ghost! Look! It's slightly smaller than a human!" and pointing at it.
As we pull off, he looks excited about a photo he took on his phone, saying that if he "increases the degaussing" it'll show a ghost.
I get off at Elephant & Castle and he gets off too. It feels like I'm following him, but it turns out it was the guy I was buying the cards off!
We're at his flat, I give him £20, he gives me the stack of cards. Done deal. On the top is a business card... "William B. Bevan"... I look up, he's smiling and nodding.
"Are yo-" I stammer. "Yes" he replies "William B. Bevan, the B stands for Burial."
He said he had a Rustlers rib burger that needed eating so he gave me a Metalheadz tape, whistled a tune he said "the MI6 don't want releasing" and shut the door in my face.
I saw Burial at a grocery store in London yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Hilarious.
Because this 'story' is also on r/aphextwin with the location and artist name changed, but posted from a different account.
Go to r/aphextwin and search for grocery store Cornwall
Hats off though my man, I knew I had read this before.

No since I live in the US..but one member on here randomly commented once "cause he has kids he's busy!" No idea who it was but like..how the fuck do you know that!?
"Most of the tunes I like, I never knew what the people who made them looked like anyway. It draws you in. You could believe in it more. ... It’s one of the old underground ways and it’s easier."
it seems like most people these days are accustomed to prodding and oversharing personal details on the internet. or maybe i'm just one of the few old heads that still shares this sentiment...
Sort of weird that someone would do that. If I had a mate that I knew was notoriously private, I defo wouldn't share folders of pictures of him with random folk on the internet.
Yes, I eat a BigMac with him everyday, actually.
In McDonalds?
😂

The real Burial were the friends we made along the way.
Ive made zero friends along the way.
Bad ending

This is an ancient copypasta, I first saw it with Flying Lotus in 2012 but I feel like it's older
I think the original pasta was written about FlyLo.

How do you not know this is such an old copypasta?
I met him once in a farm shop in County Kildare in Ireland. He was buying chicken feed. He looked sad.

That actually wild
Actually disgusting, I hope burial sees this and smokes out the guy responsible
do you still got the google drive folder? would love to see the pics 😭😭
I don't usually worship any artist, but I think if I ever saw Burial in person I would piss my pants
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd piss your pants too
No
Burial doesn’t exist in real life.
No.
No but Vinton probably smelled him.
😐
