      Or "Mixing Indie and Life Insurance" - the drummer from Josef K sold my wife and I Life Insurance (I think it was) when we lived in our flat in Edinburgh - can't remember his name but had a good chat.

      Nah, I'd suggest that you title it "Mixing Post-Punk and Life Insurance". I'm sure you'll have more legs for that series of posts.
