Although, at the end of the day, for me, Beethoven's Late String Quartets represent one of mankind's greatest achievements. I don't know what it is - it just clicks with me.

Yes, and I'd add Beethoven's late piano sonatas. Something almost mystical going on there. . .

I spent Christmas up in Northamptonshire with my family. So for a Cobblers connection, here are three tracks by Northampton bands all featuring David J*:

 

 

 

* and as @craigb knows, Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins are in two of the bands. Northampton wasn't a very big town at the time.

and david j and kev haskins guest on jazz butcher's (pat fish) second lp, scandal in  bohemia (from which that girlfriend single is from)

David J was in the band, not a guest, for Scandal in Bohemia (that's why I posted Girlfriend). He was still in the band for the recording of S*x and Travel but left a few months after its release in 1985. 

Kevin Haskins does not appear on Scandal in Bohemia but he did provide drums on the single version of Southern Mark Smith and its B side, The Jazz Butcher Meets Count Dracula.

I could go further into excruciating detail ...

you should consider updating the discogs entry https://www.discogs.com/artist/378507-Pat-Fish

If I was to start correcting everything that's wrong on the internet ...

 

Both the discogs profile and the wiki entry associated the Jazz Butcher with Oxford. He/they may have played their first gig there, but it was definitely a Northampton band.

I spent my teen years in rural Northamptonshire, which is when the Jazz Butcher and Bauhaus first came to my attention. The rest of my immediate family live in and around Northampton. But I've been in Reading since I was 19. 

There's not a huge number of prominent artists/bands from Reading, but here's Mike Oldfield ... kind of.;)

Prokofiev's Symphony #2 in Dm - The Royal Scottish orchestra conducted by Neeme Jarvi

The first heavy metal album? Prokofiev characterized this symphony as a work of "iron and steel". It's not my favorite from him, but it's definitely heavy metal.

Hey, maybe that's your life's calling???  Even better, that would give Strummy something to do too!  (Follow you around and recommend grammar corrections.?)
