Honorary doctorate's whether posthumous are not are to my mind an odd phenomenon, often given to unlikely candidates like dictators, actors and that bloke on the telly.

Yeh, an Electric Storm, Here come the fleas, though not for the feint hearted whilst tripping.

It's always puzzled me why DD is feited as the doyenne of electronic music when she mainly used tape recorders and stuff from the kitchen and didn't think much of the early synth's. Still an extraordinary woman, can't have been easy with all the masoginistic engineer's in white lab coat's.

Here's a good doc for all DD fans - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2dvGQ32q8g
