Hey, someone's mentioned Peter Blegvad!

I find Peter Blegvad the most fascinating but also the most frustrating artist. For me his albums divide into two groups, "play until they wear out" and "play once or twice, go Hmmm, leave to gather dust" - and for me Kew.Rhone is in the second group. I saw an interview with him once where he was talking about what a difficult album it was to make, & at one point he says something like "Plus I was going mad at the time" - which is pretty much what it sounds like to me. I should probably give it another go. (And Orpheus. And Camera.)

Back when I used to do covers, incidentally, I did more songs by Blegvad than anyone else - 10 in all, or 11 if you count "I don't believe you've met my baby" (which I know from his version).

Weird Al's 'Bob' is here. Peel's foe isn't here, but plenty of longish palindromes are.
