A Christmassy Wedding Present

Earlier in my still-nascent blogging career, I mentioned The Wedding Present, a new-to-me band that I'm digging muchly. Suffice it to say, I'm digging them even muchlier after reading this fan's blog entry:

A week ago I went to the Scopitones site and ordered the new single (the first for seven years) from my favourite band, The Wedding Present. Yesterday evening there was a knock at the door. ‘Here’s your Wedding Present CDs,’ a smiling woman said, handing me a package. Wow, I thought, that’s service for you. And then in the dark behind her, I noticed a familiar face. ‘Oh hello,’ I spluttered. ‘I don’t supposed you fancy signing these while you’re here?’ It was none other than David Gedge himself, lead singer of the band.

(Eerily enough, a Cinerama song started playing as I was reading this. More fodder for the conspiracy theorists [cf.: nutters] who claim the iPod has mind-reading capabilities?)
