06:50 - The police once ordered me to leave town because I was frightening the locals.
13:11 - This is Keith. He's my oldest friend, and when we were at school together, we hid a dictaphone in the classroom ceiling to confuse our teacher.

Ooh, That Sounds Familiar : 10 : Ed Sheeran "Shape Of You" (2017) vs TLC "No Scrubs" (1999)

It's not very important, but it dawn on songwriters Kandi Burruss, Tameka Cottle and producer Kevin Briggs - how much Ed Sheeran's global smash hit "Shape Of You" (2017) sounds like the global smash hit "No Scrubs" they wrote and produced for TLC in 1999.

Maybe another to be filed under "Talent Borrows, Genius Steals (Shits Copy)".

Well, actually, according to this news item in Stereogum, they've even been given writing credits. A happy ending. Anyway, you decide for yourselves;

Uncanny. Only so many notes and words to go around I suppose.

Ooh, That Sounds Familiar : 9 : Star Wars "Imperial March" (1980) vs Mary Poppins "A Spoonful Of Sugar" (1964)

It's not very important, but it dawned on me - how much the menacing Star Wars "Imperial March" (1980) for iconic villain Darth Vadar sounds like the sickeningly sweet Mary Poppins classic "A Spoonful Of Sugar" (1969).

Uncanny. Only so many notes and words to go around I suppose. **Update: I've been informed by "Old Man" Joe, that this is known as "parallel key modulation", he goes on (he does, but to explain this further he says "Most Depeche Mode songs use them liberally, luring the listener into a false sense of calm and wellbeing (major) then plunging them into a chasm of death and despair (minor)." There we go.
