Polytown

Mrs. Crotchety has gone on her annual trip to her health spa. Her man is going to visit Polytown. She has a four-hour drive; my journey will last only a few seconds courtesy of the Spotify app. The lady's destination is a genteel seaside resort in the picturesque county of Devon; it is not as…Read more Polytown

Fractal Sextet

A fractal is a complex geometric shape, but it's difficult to find a precise definition. One well-known example is the 'snowflake' curve, invented by Niels Fabian Helge von Koch in 1904.

I Promise

Radiohead have always had many influences. A band that tips its hat to Pink Floyd, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Smiths, Miles Davis, Aphex Twin, krautrock bands and 20th century classical music (among others) is bound to have developed a somewhat idiosyncratic style. And they are always experimenting. That gives their album catalogue something of a…Read more I Promise

Oczy Mlody

The title of this post is not quite gibberish. The words are Polish. Individually they mean 'eyes' and 'young'. Unfortunately, 'oczy' is feminine plural and 'mlody' is masculine singular. And, to make matters worse, the words are in the wrong order for the phrase 'young eyes'. Not that this bothers The Flaming Lips who chose…Read more Oczy Mlody
