HW: Bored while watching the election online

[Alastair Lee Sumner]

I was half-watching a late night kung-fu film on satellite tv once. During
one of the fight scenes I noticed that the backgound music was
from 'Pictures at an Exhibition' by Isao Tomita (One of my favourite
musicians). That was unusual enough. This was then imediately followed
by 'Masters of the Universe' by Hawkwind. By this time I was checking to
see if my hi-fi had come on by accident or someone else was playing it in
the house. Freaked me right out.
