Galaxie Blues

I had a nice Galaxie 500 moment yesterday. Part of my job is helping visual art students with technology - usually Macs. A student called Pete, who seems to be about my age, had made some video clips on his PC which he was having trouble opening on our Macs. I tried to open one file, which was called galaxie_blues.mpg. When I finally got it to open (using the ever reliable VLC Player) the first thing I noticed was his use of Galaxie 500's "Blue Thunder" to soundtrack his video art. "Oh man, I love Galaxie 500" I excitedly announced. And so we forged a quick bond. Which was nice.
