Good Omens Question

[nny]

Morning all! :D

I am creating a digital library as part of my MSc, and creating a metadata schema for it, and such. In order to keep myself interested I have called it 'Note for Americans and Other Aliens' and it's a digital library of Good Omens context. There are so many pop culture references in there that it's a gold mine.

(And yes, I'm going to use AO3 stats to justify its existence - my lecturers are all very aware of the whole fanfic thing).

So far I have:

Audio
Gardener's Question Time podcast
Handel's Water Music
Best of Queen
A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
Hound Dog

Video
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (for Lee Van Cleef)

Documents
Quoits Rules
Aziraphale's New Year's Resolutions


I'm still pondering this, but I can't reeeeeeally justify the time for a re-read (:() so if anyone's got any ideas for other items they'd be hugely appreciated! :D

Oooh, how about the other Bible editions?

This sounds like a fascinating project! The more you say about your course, the more I wish I could poach you for the research group I'm in.

Google Maps (or similar) image of the M25 with quotation regarding its being an evil prayer?

Haven't read it in a while so I am blanking on proper nouns, but the man who writes letters to the editor? Those letters, or the newspaper.

Some reference to "The Omen"? The entire book is a riff on that movie.
"Little White Bull" (the song being sung badly at karaoke when War strolls in).

Information about some of the cities mentioned such as Milton Keynes, Birmingham and I feel like there's more but I'm blanking. Oh and the references to places in London, the duck pond with all the spies around it, I think that was Hyde Park. How Aziraphale's bookstore is in SoHo. Putting them onto a map or cross referencing a map with information about them could work.

Firelighters, that's such a great footnote.

My copy's in storage so I can't go looking but I'll keep thinking. This is a great project.
