Erratum: The “guy who runs
WHEDONesque” is not a guy, but in fact Caroline van O. de B. (a girl, who set
me straight personally).
Those clever Dutch! Hey, the Netherlands is a small country; I wonder if Marco, down the hall, knows her.

So, I guess if I was worried that I wouldn’t hear “Electrical Storm” on
US radio, I shouldn’t have been. I turned on the radio this morning to
hear it, then (when it was finished) I switched stations … to hear it
again.
The BBC1 mix I mentioned is certainly
different from the US radio version (which is much heavier-sounding,
with mixed-down vocals and mixed-up Edge). [Update: Someone else is keeping track of the many
versions out there.]
