...poignancy of Stafford's music about a woman's remorse over her lover's death changed everything. Its message was so potent; it overpowered the richness of Rachmaninoff and tapped into my adolescent yearnings of love and loss. Hearing its poetic, antique lyrics made me sit up and say, "That's what I want to do: tell stories with my music." It was like hitting a vein of gold...
...apocalypse brought down by four horsemen who all look suspiciously like Aphex Twin, a.k.a. Richard D. James. He imagines societies overridden by ultraviolence and emotions propelled by automation, then complements his vision with tonally appropriate pieces from artists such as Autechre and Portishead.

So it was poetic justice when, in the penultimate race of the season, Schumi had some freakish weather on his side for a change. The wettest Indiana September in years brought rain to the U.S. Grand Prix: and as any F1 fan will tell you, nobody drives in the rain as well as the Ferrari...
