It's amazing how often people hear what they want to hear, isn't it?
Nice SR10 you have here this week. I haven't listened to Camper van Beethoven in years. I really like that Brian Eno song.
Did I ever tell you about the day I was browsing in a record shop (remember those) where a woman was asking for a Beethoven album played by Beethoven and his band. The clerk had a hard time convincing her he composed before the record industry was invented. "Well, how do we know what his music sounds like?"
Like I said, some people just don't listen :)
What they want to hear, even though it doesn't make them happy, which is puzzling.
Very definitely it's a nice Eno number.
Would be fun to go up to that lady, maybe wearing one false eyelash, and say something like "Do I viddy a fellow devotee of good ol Ludwig van?" She probably wouldn't get it, but still.
