Gotye - Making Mirrors

"Somebody That I Used To Know" is one of an increasingly long list of extremely popular songs that I discovered for myself - in this case, a few months ago, early morning radio hearing followed by groggy lyric googling ("Gotye? Who?"), only to be told when I mentioned it to David that it was then number 1 on the pop charts - being happily innocent of a lot of what gets played on the radio nowadays. (The most amusing example, maybe, being the discovery of Rihanna's "Umbrella" - genuinely a great song - via a live Amanda Palmer cover of it.) Anyhow, it's the song is memorable, the rest of the album less so (though not wholly uninteresting), etc.
