So I’m sitting in my office doing physics, with part of me distracted by the LHC, and another part keeping an eye on the Guardian’s live coverage of the football match between Croatia and England. This involves a team of commentators who occasionally bring up the contents of some of the emails they receive during [...]

It’s been a while since I heard this legendary recording of the Troggs arguing in the studio control room. The recording is said to have inspired some of the scenes in Spinal Tap. Download the .mp3 at the web archive. (Warning: This recording contains lots of expletives!!) Dubba, dubba, dubba cha!!

I am a big fan of the British Invasion bands of the sixties.
