  • In an interesting turn of events that accentuates your headshaking, your username is almost “walkman.”
  • I was talking to a colleague a while back about various alternative bands we were into in our younger days. I happen to mention that I got into The Cure thanks to John Peel back in 1978. Another colleague piped up ... "I wasn't even born then!" That's when it hit me that it was over 25 years ago!

    The Mission did a cover of Dream On some years ago, and I was horrified to discover friends didn't even know it was by Aerosmith. Their Run DMC collaboration caused confusion too. I had a similar experience when H

    That's what vocal cords sound like before you massively abuse them.
