Ten or twelve years ago, I was sitting in the famous Tinker's Cafe on the main street in Woodstock, New York, having a mid-afternoon lunch. It was nearly empty, but for a family that was just about ready to leave as we sat down.

Of course, music was playing over the speaker system. As the family got up from their table, "Sultans of Swing" came on. The young son in the family, barrel-chested boy, about 10 years old, suddenly pulled away from his mother who was holding his hand and ran up onto the small stage in the restaurant (which has music every night; Bob Dylan played there often in the early 1960s). He grabbed a microphone stand (there was no microphone), bent it down, and began to sing along with Dire Straits. My friends and I watched with delight, while the boy's mother and father seemed both horrified that he might be interrupting our lunch and proud of him at the same time.

When the song was over, the boy jumped down from the stage and rejoined his family. As they were leaving, the mother came over to our table and said, "Sorry, he goes crazy every time that song comes on. If we're in the car, we have to pull over so he can get out and dance, or else he moves around so much that my husband is afraid he will make him crash the car."

With that, she smiled, turned, and left.

I always think of this when I hear the song, and it brings a big smile to my face.

"in Absentia" - Porcupine Tree. Check it out, also "Fear of a Blank Planet". Awesome.

Now lost in the amazing sounds of The Cocteau Twins....surely some of the most achingly beautiful music ever created. Elizabeth Fraser has the voice of an Angel. Impossible to pick any one track, but try "orange Appled" or "Summerhead" or "Calfskin Smack" for starters....then you will be hooked and searching the entire collected works.

I got deathwing three years ago.
Put it on MP3 and went on holiday the same day.
I played the album five times and was totally indifferent to it.

I got home and was about to give the cd to a charity shop.
But I played it one last time, but this time on my HiFi:
Cyrus CDp, Pre + mono blocks, Dynaudio 140 speakers.

Oh wow! The album was stunning!
I've now got most of their albums.
To appreciate them, one really needs to hear their albums on decent HiFi.
