Early contender for Quote of the Year

"Have you got your own copy of this?" said my brother Nick, referring to the CD I was playing on my brand-spanking-new hi-fi.

"Yes."

"I've got a Lighthouse Family CD too."

"Lighthouse Family?"

"Is it not the Lighthouse Family?"

"No."

"Oh, it sounds a lot like them."

"No it doesn't."

"Who is it, then?"

"Super Furry Animals."

Just for people unfamiliar with either band, I can confirm that the Super Furry Animals sound nothing like the Lighthouse Family. It is possible, though, that the particular song I was playing (Juxtaposed With U) might have the sound that the Lighthouse Family try to achieve.

The Lighthouse Family, however, are utter shite.
