It's an age old story. Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy is psychoanalysed, psychologically tested, strapped into a brain machine and plays the girl like a giant cello before escaping on a motorbike and throwing the wheelchair-bound doctor into the river. Yes, it's the video for Thomas Dolby's 1982 synth-pop hit She Blinded Me with Science , which presumably doesn't refer to the psychoanalysis part....

Yesterday he posted on his blog that he had turned 50 I couldn't believe it. Last year I went to see him live at the ICA in London. It was an amazing gig, not only because it was a great live show, but also because it was the 50th anniversary of the launch...
