Paddy McAloone: I Trawl the Megahertz

On Friday I had to drive to Arnhem in Holland to deliver a training session and decided to give McAloon's Megahertz another spin in the car. I listened to it three times back-to-back. The impression I had after my first audition persists: hard to tell whether this is a piece of supreme kitsch or an attempt at enchantment based on yet another version McAloone's 'yawning caves of blue'. Anyway, it's the right kind of aural backdrop for long rides. And yesterday, as I was working through a 70 km cycling tour (accompanied by WvdH), this weird and soothing stuff persistently echoed in my head. It's that kind of music.
