Dead Head at the dead drop

Posted at 2:07pm on Friday, July 4th, 2008 by

Britain’s top spy is seriously ill.  No foul play, so little news really, except for the gem at the end…

“[he] is known for running a website for fans of the band The Grateful Dead”

Pardon?  I’m sure there are rules about mixing LSD and the Official Secrets Act.  Aren’t there?  Surely?

Engelbert Humperdinck

Posted at 4:43pm on Tuesday, August 29th, 2006 by

I am tasked with the MusicBrainz database bit of Sleevenotez. One of the things I’m just doing is handling bands with the same name (of which, according to MusicBrainz there are 3,407 non-unique names – the most common of which is Eden, with 12 bands of that name). Anyway, while scanning the list by eye for real problems I discovered there are 2 Engelbert Humperdincks. Really. The one you would expect, and a composer from the late 19th Century. Of all the names in my non-unique list that was not one I expected.
