Yes. I'd follow you on Twitter, but I don't have the attention span for that sort of thing ... Today I watched a fairly lame TV production (History Channel - Einstein bio) about Uncle Albert. You know, that relativity guy from the 20th century? Well I thought of you (and Douglas Adams) when I heard that Albert was 42 in 1921 ... (Yes! 42 in '21!) which was the year he finally won his Nobel Prize, which he'd already promised to his ex and their boys ...even though it was before his whacky theory was "proved" by solar eclipse observations.

Sort of. It's an album that is unlike anything they have done previously. Absolutely new and hence, disorientating. It takes time and multiple listens to appreciate. That's where the comparision ends, however. While <i>Kid A</i> and <i>Amnesiac</i> were of the same musical standard as <i>OK Computer</i>... <i>Viva La Vida</i> is barely just above <i>X & Y</i> and nothing close to the genius that were <i>Parachutes</i> and <i>A Rush of Blood to the Head</i> Still, Life in Technicolor and Cemetries of London are passable. And Strawberry Swing has a neat video. I must say, Viva La Vida is like their Kid A moment… Sort of.

Don't tell me you Throw It Away?! How could you?! For us, Kit Kat was a minting machine. The foil we used, crumpled, stomped on, put under desk legs, and all this to make coins, the purpose of which we didn't know either. We were so proud that we were making money, yes we were. :P Okay pointless dredged-out memory, back in you go! What about the foil? Don’t tell me you Throw It Away?! How could you?!
