Slightly off topic

My favorite thing I have read today:
When Douglas Adams and team created the original radio version of "Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy", the theme music featured a haunting space-cowboy guitar whine. According to Adams, people besieged the station / him / etc asking where they could get a hold of the music.

Adams enjoyed telling them that THEY ALREADY OWNED IT because it was very likely they'd bought Eagles' "One Of These Nights" and the H2G2 theme, Journey of the Sorcerer, was the last cut on the "other" side of that album, the side that almost nobody played!
