This could run and run (NB it won't)

Following our revelations about Martha and the Vandellas’ time travel-based theftcrimes, we have been literally (‘literally’) inundated with further examples of musicians getting a bit Magpie-like with each other’s records.

Ranging from the obvious (“Supermassive Black Hole by Muse sounds like Britney’s ‘Do Somethin’!”; “The Flaming Lips’ ‘Fight Test’ sounds like Cat Stevens!”) to the less well-observed (“Burial stole my hangover to make his album”), the response has been huge.

Someone should set up some sort of bureau to deal with this sort of thing. While we wait for that to happen, have a listen to this song by quirky ‘n’ underrated Australian ‘songstress’ Sia. Remind you of anything?



Answers on a BRIT-endorsed postcard to the usual address.

(Thanks to Danny for that).

I'm sure I told you about this ages ago...because you were pretty impressed that I knew who Sia was! x
