The little thunk sound at the start of every second clip was really districting though.

Found this story very funny. I was talking with the wife over the weekend about how dyslexia and dyscalcula were akin to excuses for not being great at reading/writing or maths, and how I didn't have such an excuse for being utterly talentless in the music department - so I made up a name for my "condition", amusica. Funny how close I was to the real name.
I'll be straight down the doctor's tomorrow for some therapy.
