• I have cleaned the grill pan! Virtue is me.
• Apparently I'm going to be in London at exactly the times spikeylady isn't there. Arse!
• I received text messages independently from both ergotia and lilithmagna informing me that Johnny Cash has done a cover of the NIN song "Hurt".
• I now understand Rabin-Williams. Briefly, if p = 3 mod 8 and q = 7 mod 8, then the Legendre symbol (2/p) = -1 but (2/q) = 1, so if x is a quadratic residue mod q but not p, then 2p will be a quadratic residue modulo both. Of course if x isn't a QR mod q then -x will be. Simple, eh? Thanks for the many helpful suggestions.

Johnny Cash has done a cover of the NIN song "Hurt".

I think I've already mentioned this . . . twice. He also duets with Nick Cave on a version of the old Hank Williams song "I'm so lonesome I could cry" and does "Personal Jesus". I've got American IV on order, and American III at home ("The Mercy Seat", Bonne Prince Billy's "I see a darkness", U2's "One"). Recommended.

I seem to remember that ergotia and lilithmagna telling me at Bicon that Johnny Cash was Goth. I apologise for my former scepticism - they appear to be correct.

Yes, I thought of you when I heard the "Personal Jesus" cover and when I heard about the "Hurt" cover. Mind you, Lili and I have known Johnny was Goth As Fuck since we heard his "Man in Black" number:)

Oops! Actually I have not heard the "Personal Jesus" cover, but I have a dim memory of Paul telling me that Nick Cave, or maybe even Trent himself, did a cover of "Wanted Man", one of Johnny's bouncier numbers - anyway, I thought at the time must stick my tongue out and go "Nyaahh" at Katy :)

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds definitely covered "Wanted Man".
I have it, but can't remember which album it was on. I'd look it out but I need to run for a bus to Edinburgh now. See you at Finsternis tonight Paul.

I have it, it's on The First Born Is Dead. Good to see you at Finsternis!

Incidentally, "Wanted Man" was written by Bob Dylan, and first performed by Johnny Cash.

Dear me.

I knew that decision to remain living was a mistake!

Then again, I can't think of NIN these days without thinking of that hilarious lounge band who cover them. God knows who they are but they caused me more amusement than Trent Reznor locked in a small cupboard with several rather viscious ferrets. With sharp teeth. I imagine them to be somewhat lie the Host from Buffy singing "I wanna fuck you like an aniiimall...". Ah. What a vision.

Yes.
