You know it's my own game and that reference *still* almost slipped
by me

Excellent. Looking forward to it

""It's not me, although I /have/ seen David live three times
(Sound+Vision tour, August 1990; Outside tour, December 1995; Move

Oh well. Did you get the new album? I picked it up yesterday, and
it's great

""But I /am/ going to see Radiohead at Manchester in November! :-) It
will be my second time to see Radiohead live - the first was in
October 2000, the week that Kid A was released.""

Ah Radiohead. I saw them live earlier this year. Great gig that

""Party Willy (Part 1) has three Radiohead-inspired rooms, and also
uses "Where bluebirds fly." (from the "There there." single) as the
in-game tune. There are several Bowie-references too, not to mention
other musicians...""

Music references are the lifeblood of this genre
