"Quite Remarkable Coincidence dep't"
 
   That's rather extraordinary. First there was a segment on the first Top Gear episode of the current series that featured almost exactly the road I had in my mind's eye for the Tau Ceti Coast Road; now I've come across something that gives exactly the sort of impression that I've had in my head for the kind of collaborative thing Kaitlyn might've done during her time working with the BBC Ethereophonic Orchestra (when they weren't recording new versions of the Top Gear and Professor Enigma theme songs and considering an anniversary live performance of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds).

It's not exactly her usual style of performance, I will grant you, but if she ever were to do a two-hour musical stand-up comedy show featuring the BBC Orchestra, it would end up being an awful lot like Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra, possibly with the second-encore bit of Cosmic Jam thrown in for good measure. I'm just saying.

   Also, as a fascinating coincidence-within-a-coincidence, I've just learned that the woman who conducted the BBC Orchestra for Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide, Anne Dudley, was a member of an experimental synthesizer band back in the '80s...

... called the Art of Noise.

   See, this is where we have to wonder if the gods are reading your stuff.

... and laughing.

   Of course they would be laughing, were they to be reading it (or, indeed, were they to exist at all). Gryphon's writing'd see to that.

As an ironic (if slightly more obscure) aside, The Art of Noises was basically the call to arms for modern composers and anticipated electronica by a good seventy years. Perhaps Kaitlyn and one Mr. J. Smith paid Luigi Russolo a visit back then...
