Not wanting to step on MR's suggestion ^^ (listen first). The BBC did a 'thing' about BCUC - not exactly a type of music I expected me (or the BBC) to bother with. But. They interviewed the people and they were so instantly likeable that I went along with it. For this post I had to fish around for what I thought would be the most instantly 'likeable' of their stuff and here it is. I hope somebody else likes it too.


Edit
They identify as punk (many will be too young to know the meaning of that).
But also (apparently) do jazz.

Who knew Sabine could sing, period? They gave it new lyrics, so it's not quite like hearing this song for the ten thousandth time in the last month. Recorded prior, just badly pretending to play and lip-syncing there. Caused me to think of "99 Red Balloons" for some reason. Chronos aviates, Nina Hagen is 65 now.

It’s the End of the World and This Physicist Feels Fine
http://nautil.us/blog/its-the-end-of-the...feels-fine

EXCERPT: (Sabine Hossenfelder): I feel useless. While doctors and nurses are out there fighting for lives, I sit at home wishing them good luck. As an atheist, I can’t even say I pray for them. [...] After some soul-searching, I decided the one thing I can do that isn’t entirely useless is write and talk. ... So, I blog and I feed my YouTube channel with little physics lectures ... An unforeseen side-effect of our self-isolation has been that I produced a music video with friend and colleague Tim Palmer. Like most of us, he now works from home—near Oxford, UK ... I saw he has guitars in the back of his room. Well, one thing led to another, and we ended up making a cover version of R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World As We Know It,” which you can now enjoy on YouTube. I hope it makes your day a little better.

^^good voice^^ (Like).
A bit worried that while I struggle with the beautiful maths she says it (physics) might not be 'beautiful'.
As I write it seems possible that Boris Johnson might not only be eliminating his most loyal supporters but also himself.
I never really thought that a virus would be inspirational but I guess that there’s been quite a few songs written about them. Scholars say that the Great Plaque explanation for “Ring Around the Rosie” is baseless though.

I had to ask my son to help me confront his father. He was hiding wet wipes from us. We successfully confiscated three packs. He’s on probation now. Anymore nonsense and he’ll be exiled. Maybe I could turn that into a song. Nope. Some rapper, Cam'ron, already has a wet wipe song.  Big Grin
