It strikes me that I’ve not yet given credit to UK indie band The Editors for their rather bookish name (nor for their melodramatic tendencies, lyrically speaking). And their name makes me wonder what other bands might be out their awaiting rock stardom: The Typesetters, The Copy-Editors, The Proof Readers, The Printers? The fun could, quite possibly, never ever stop.

I believe when I worked in a (nameless) Proofreading department, I suggested we form a band. This was after a particularly successful karaoke night, and yet I was *still* shouted down.
This is an idea that has not yet had its day, but *will*.
I think we should form a band called The Indexers.
I’m terribly concerned that I’ll only ever qualify for the Data Entriers.
