We don't listen to the radio like normal people. It's a comfortable backdrop for them, like how a fountain in a shopping mall cuts out the sound's sharp edges. We do it the other way round. We tune everything else out.

While I carefully nodded and grunted in the appropriate places when my girlfriend was explaining how she wrecked my car, I was thinking about the tune on the radio.

My name is love

It's a catchy pop song. I'm humming along before I can remember it's a cheesy pop song. What do you think is my first thought? Of course. "Please God don't let this be James Blunt!"

My name is love

Fuck it. If it's this Blunt fellow then I'm just gonna have to fess up to my DiS friends. Honesty is the best policy. Yeah, right...bullshit.

Hmm. The voice is sorta familiar. No, can't be.

My name is love

It's Rob Dickinson. The ex-Catherine Wheel frontman has gone full circle. Shoegaze, to metal, to some awful awful shit, and now pop songs. Well, good for him. And better for me! Thank you, God!

You guys have all gone through this, I know. Except, hopefully, for the part about having a stupid girlfriend driver. Did the artist recognition part turn out as well for you? Can you admit to God, DiS, and another human being you like the Embrace single?

Another confession thread.
