Since recently!

I feeling like putting this down for posterity as I am listening to 54-40 tonight for the first time in ages.

A number of years ago, Alison and I were at an (otherwise perhaps somewhat boring) political function, but happened to run into Neil Osborne (54-40's singer), who'd presumably been dragged there by a significant other who was affiliated somehow with the aspiring politicians of the day. We wouldn't have recognized him but fortunately Alison's aunt did. The brief conversation with him began (and soon hereafter ended) with something along these lines:

Alison: (to Neil) We really like your music; I've been listening to it a lot lately! (to Owen) What's the name of that album I've been playing?

Owen: Since When.

Alison: Since recently!
