  1. As you may know, St Paul wrote to the Phillipians "If there be therefore any consolation, any comfort any fellowship, and mercies, fulfil ye my joy by not arguing about the relative merits of Spotify as against other on-line music sharing software."

  2. What a great list. The Country Boy may be the greatest religious song ever written, despite having its melody nicked from Heroes & Villains by the Beach Boys. "Living her life between the scandalised fist and the beckoning finger" and "Clinging to life with hands that had always been empty" always get me...
