Before the flood

Right, you lot. I’m on to you.

Normally I write to you with some sort of thought about how or what I play, but it’s only now I realise you’ve been playing your own cheeky game. I’m now dreading going back through old issues and realising this has all been under my nose all along.

I’m a huge Depeche Mode fan, you see, and reading through the letters page, noted that one particular letter, from Kyle Charetter bore the same title as my favourite of their songs. And then I looked at my letter.

“Oh, it’s Aerosmith,” I initially thought (Exciter not being one of my most-played albums of theirs.) And then it all twigged, like a Kobayashi mug falling out of the sky.
