Soundtracket till kvällens disk var Josef K-samlingen Entomology, som kom ut i slutet av 2006 och som jag, lite till min förvåning, tyckte riktigt bra om (favorit: "Chance Meeting"). Rätt rolig recension i Guardian: One thing post-punk bands loved was, to paraphrase an old Beyond the Fringe sketch, a big, futile gesture, designed to emphasise the disdain in which they held commercial success. The era abounds with deliberately static appearances on Top of the Pops and gigs played behind screens that rendered the artist invisible to the audience. Both actions had the pleasing side effect of allowing the bands involved to earnestly discuss Brechtian alienation techniques in interviews, earnestly discussing Brechtian alienation techniques being another thing that post-punk bands couldn't get enough of.
