I was thinking of Aztec Camera.
Speaking of Josef K:
Thanks for notice of the sale. As I say, I’m not especially a Josef K fan, though it looks like it could well be a decent read.

If, as I understand, you are currently in the US and cannot access BBC iplayer, you can purchase a VPN (there are some free ones as well), then set the vpn to the UK.

Weirdly enough I first heard of Steve Harley via this rather good cover version from an unlikely source:
