@craner on the enya tip

it's like painting walls. a few brushstrokes is fun. now do the whole house.

the best one i can remember was when out drinking with belbury poly and the focus group about ten years ago. i was showing off this bit of software that i had on my phone that let me log in to my pc at home. i loaded up the desktop - zoomed in - and there was a WAV of black lace's agadoo...

it's like the fashion police! i have lots of deeply unfashionable records. case in point - for years my hardcore records were unfashionable. talking of the police - reminds me of a line in play someone i knew wrote - someone is rummaging around offscreen - awkward silence - "i didn't know you...

never minded it myself
