Thank you, Fangy.

Does anyone know what the song in this video clip is?

It's OK. I've found out now. It's called Out of Control.

The album's over 60 minutes long.

Out of Control by She Wants Revenge.

I'll do it then.

Thank you Nightjar.

Yes. Thank you, Nightie.

Even though no one's thanked me for saying what the answer was.

Do lilies smell a bit like stale urine, or does stale urine smell a bit like lilies, and if so why do I love walking into a room of lilies in full bloom (despite always thinking ‘oh, powerful, could go either way’), while being physically repelled from all but the best public lavatories and many private ones too?

I’m just sitting here working this out, breathing in, while I wait for sleep.

I don't think I've ever encountered Lilies indoors. The ones I've encountered outdoors have never struck me as having a smell but, for all I know, being out in the open may be dissipating their smell.

The white ones are the strongest. I’ve got some great ones going on just now but they were overwhelming last night. There must be a common compound to both things.

Personally, I wouldn't say that that lilies smell of stale urine, but personally, I do find the overbearingly musky smell of the pollen encrusted lily anthers or stamen quite unpleasant.

It is, to me, olfactory-wise, more of a combination of an uncanny splicing of both burgeoning life and withering death.

A bit like...


Old p*ss?

Yes, you’re right. It’s double edged.

I love them but I’ve been careful since I wrote an essay sitting next to a vase of them for several hours without a break. Whether coincidence or not, I had to stop when one of the heaviest nosebleeds of my life began - one of less than a handful in my life. Thick proper blood, of the kind where you wonder how close to death you are because just how much can you afford to lose in a flood.

Now, I have them strictly on the other side of the room from wherever I might sit.

Also, when fresh flowers go orf, the residual water reeks (obviously), but the residual water from lilies is always especially funky.

I wonder whether there's something about lilies that, for humans, subconsciously ties them to death and funerals because of their strikingly magnificent-unto-rank-decay dynamic.

Anyway, like I said before, white lilies are for, literally, grave occasions alone.

Oh, and BTW, don't even get me started on the pollen and if it gets on your clothes.

Get some on a white shirt or skirt or 'ert and, well, you may as well have just chucked an aluminium 'punnet' of aloo gobi down the front of you.

Are there any albums where song lengths are intentionally unique as part of the art form? Like all tracks on the album are exactly the same length as each other, or track 1 is one minute long, track 2 is two minutes long, track 3 is three minutes long.... track 10 is ten minutes long etc.?

If not then someone really needs to do this.
