A quick post before I go to work to demonstrate the circuitous route my mind can take. This morning returning from work the song "French Navy" started to play on my CD and half asleep could not immediately recall the band's name. Believing it had something to do with photography or cinema thought of Cinerama. Knowing that Dave Gedge had nothing to do with the song currently playing my mind drifted to the apparatus used by Roger Livesey in "A Matter of Life and Death" when operating a number of mirrors to spy on his neighbours. The name of this apparatus eluded me for a number of minutes and thinking it would bother me for the rest of the day I concentrated on trying to stay awake until it came to me: Camera Obscura. It was then that I realised that I had come full circle and that they were the name of the band responsible for the song that had been bugging me.
