Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

OK, now let's look at four dimensions on the blackboard.

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

Hanzel und Gretyl - More German that German
It's a fun, danceable industrial song, but it's also entertaining in that it's taking the piss out of the genre's cliches.

"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

Charlie Clark.
Charlie used to be in a band called Astrid, along with Willie Campell (still on the circuit hereabouts), Gareth Russell (currently playing with Idlewild), and Gary Thom (of The Company, with former Meth O.D. frontman Roy Møller and Belle & Sebastian's Stevie Jackson).
Astrid were a great wee band. They had great songs, great harmonies and they could play. I was a contemporary, a friend, a fan. Glad to see Charlie doing so well.

I am listening to Television 'marquee Moon'...only 40 years behind the times as usual!
The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.

Nothing just now. But tomorrow night, I will be listening to Alice Cooper playing at Cropredy in Oxfordshire. Then Friday night, 10cc. Then Saturday night, Fairport Convention.

Cool - That sounds like a lot of fun! I didn't know 10cc was still making the rounds.
Get your bake on.

Meet On The Ledge, Fairport Convention.
1: Sing along to this in a highly-charged emotional state, along with 15,000 - 20,000 strangers / new friends at Cropredy.
2: Try not to cry.
3: Cry a lot.
Not going back.
Bastards made me cry.

I did plenty of that in my day...they were great weekends. The first Cropredy I went to (which appears to be set in the English/Oxfordshire version of the garden of Eden/paradise) coincided with the Perseid Meteor Shower so you had the Music, the beer (and whatever else) and Shooting Stars...it was Heaven.

Best Song Ever by One Direction.
It seems strangely familiar (and that is a strong contender for best song ever or at least best song for pissed shout-along in pub karaoke).

If I have learnt anything, it is that life forms no logical patterns. It is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?

So they did this music tie-in thing with Games of Thrones called Catch the Throne: Mixtape. Interesting thing is it's all hip-hop/rap artists rapping about A Song of Fire and Ice.
