I’m not necessarily talking about my favourite tracks, or even about music that I regularly listen to.  I’m talking about tracks that spark memories and emotions, music that grabs me and shakes me up.  Don’t bother talking to me when any of these tracks are playing; I’ll be too busy ‘having a moment’.

It was the British summer of the year 2000.   In the previous year, a new television show concept had launched in the Netherlands.  A group of strangers living in a house together, their every move filmed and every word recorded.  The contestants had no contact with the outside world except for the disembodied voice of their keeper, Big Brother.  In the year 2000, Big Brother arrived in the UK.
