This essay sent me down two rabbit holes straight away: first, finding and listening to some of "Awakening of a City", thinking it sounds familiar, and then listening to some of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. Second, thinking "a tune they can hum" was a quote from Sleuth (1972), clicking the link and finding out it's Sondheim, and now I'm trying to figure out if Michael Caine's character and Sondheim are both quoting a common source (or "Quelle").
i've read this like six times already, it's perfect
