You can call me Jöhn


It's the little things in life. Today, I discovered the umlaut key on my Mac keyboard. What joy! You may wonder how this will make me a more upright and rounded individual. And you wouldn't be in a party of one. But it now means that I can type the names of many bands (most, though not all, from the metal fraternity) with their correct handle. You know the ones: Motörhead, Blue Öyster Cult, Maxïmo Park. It also means that I can wind my good friend Löst Jimmy up by telling him I really enjoyed Goblin's difficult third album: Teäsmade.

Before I get my coat, I'll leave you with this tïmeless clässic:

    I love the way Spinal Tap put it on the n! Of course, my Mac won't allow such silliness.
