Gary Lightbody, vocalist/lyricist of Snow Patrol, appears to be one of Neil Gaiman's small army of clones.

Consider:
* Gary Lightbody was born in 1977.
* In 1977, Neil sang and played bass in a punk band.

COINCIDENCE?!?!

Do you have the Martha Wainwright version of Third Bar, or the just-SP version? The collaborative one is exceptional.

You know, I didn't even realize that was Martha Wainwright. Her voice is lovely... do you know where I would find the solo version?

(And Dan. I think he's probably a time-travelling alien, for whatever it's worth. :) )

I'm not sure mere time-traveling would cut it, though it might explain how he seems to rapidly age while on reading tours and then revert to his younger, seemingly-ageless self a month or so after they're over.

Nah, can't be a clone or a time traveller. Not unless Gaiman can grow and shrink at will. They're probably six inches different in height.
