I was standing in [[HMV]] in [[Cambridge]] in [[2003]], waiting for my
[[Bus|Buses]] to arrive. The HMV in Cambridge opened at 08:45, giving me
time to buy a CD to listen to on the way to work, and because I was
earning Actual Money, I’d taken to buying a new CD each week to do this
with.
So I was browsing pretty aimlessly with no idea of what to get when I
heard something interesting. One of the interesting things about early
morning in the shop was that the CD on the stero system behind the
counter tended to be what the person who opened up actually wanted to
listen to, rather than what was dictated from on high. The track on my
[[MP3 Player|Diamond Rio 500]] had stopped, so I took off my headphones.
About four minutes later I asked the assistant what was playing. “Lemon
Jelly” he said. I found the CDs and bought everything they’d released
(Which, at the time, was two albums - [Lemon
Jelly.ky](http://www.lemonjelly.ky) and Lost Horizons) and proceeded to
pimp them at people.
My [[brother|Ben Avenell]] bought me the new album for my 24\^th\^
birthday. It’s also fantastic.
