Funny.  I just had to learn MS-Access for work, and I was already
thinking in terms of a cross-referencing utility for the Hawkwind
Discography/Codex.  You know, enter a keyword, click "search",
and get back a list of all songs that contain that word, along
with what albums/compilations you can find them on, etc...

Huge amount of work, of course - not the least of which would be
finding a way to "automatically" import all that frigging data.  (Of
course, the best solution might be to find a lacke^H^H^H^H helpful
assistant to enter it all by hand.)  :-)
