The auditory cortex remained active even though the music had stopped

As a music snob, someone who at sometime actually said with or without irony "I heard them back in 01 when they were fresh, being played in WHsmiths has diluted the sound and lyric content for me how about you?" To the fairly innocuous question of have you heard of this band. Which I intend to share with you so as we can be music buddies and discuss and or make out.

This seems to be a bizarre intellectual conceit. Of course I wasn't the first person to hear them. They were presumably. I was struck again by the need to be individual when I looked up a line from Goldsmiths's An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog to find out what Maugham was writing about. A comment asked an identical question to my own. We would of course all like to be original. But someone else has presumably written this. So i shant.
