Since I lost hearing in one earpiece of my very low-budget earphones, I borrowed headphones from my friend nearby. These are the macho kind of headphones that a) Put your neck and spinal column in serious trouble b) Give you the appearance of a helicopter pilot in the midst of an aural version of dhup-dhup-dhup c) give African elephants and Prince Charles serious competition in the annual Pinnae Contests.

Of course, the sounds are much better, so I'm discovering some new aspects to some of the songs I thought I had got tired off. I'm running my song collection through the borrowed phones now.
