Just been reading the Broadcast 'invisible jukebox' in this month's wire. In it they refer to a poem which consists solely of the first 1000 numbers listed in alphabetical order. Unfortunately, they don't give the name of the author and a few searches on google and on ilx have yeilded nothing.

Does anyone know anything about this?

What counting sequence did Boards Of Canada sample on 'Aquarius'?

That reminds me. That's the song which has all the counting which goes weird and starts saying things like 'Sixtyten', isn't it? But that's not the song called 'Sixtyten', is it?

That song is "Aquarius."

Eh?

The BoC song in question is called "Aquarius." "Sixtyten" is the name of another BoC song, incidentally, though, sadly, it features no counting.
