I won't lie; I saw the paperclip in the thumbnail and thought this was going to be about actual paperclips. Now I'm both slightly disappointed and pleasantly surprised.

I always imagine Keith playing the organ with air and steam blowing his hair up straight, with his arms wide reaching the outer keys, standing on an antique wooden stage so we look at him from a low perspective while he is blasting everyone away with his epic classical organ madly. Or is that just me?

I think my fav bit of this is the lucerne paper. I thought of the logic of Lucerne milk company and how cows are fed alf-alfa a lot. A connection I would have never made without watching some blokes mill about a library looking for attachments.

Yes, I too would be excited by something as mundane as an old, old wrapper. Even a newspaper as old as 20-30 years can definitely be an interesting read. Not to mention a form-letter from 200+ years ago.
