I&#8217;d especially like to thank Judith for Keane&#8217;s Hopes And Fears, Leasey for Ultraviolet, and the Anonymous Economist for the Pierre Marcolini&#160;chocolates. Despite the clich&#233; title, Hopes And Fears is a real delight. It&#8217;s indie rock descended from the Radiohead-Coldplay line, but without the guitars. She Has [...]]]></description>

This is worthy of comment because few of my ideas survive beyond five minutes of my examining them in daylight; next to none survive my explaining them to&#160;colleagues.
