Today is the centenary of the birth of the great Tony Hart who opened the eyes of generations to visual art and who is forever associated with this, the shimmering Gallery theme from Vision On – which was also pretty much everyone’s introduction to the vibraphone. youtu.be/-ZNkJXKV7_w

Yeah I assumed language, which is kind of a shame because it meant I couldn’t do my killer “talking of unhinged literary opinions…” post

I’m neither a composer nor a publisher but happy to share.

It feels to me as if the “do anything to your book” stance is a reaction to the “books can’t ever be touched, don’t point, even” stance. What’s actually in the book seems a secondary concern.

The only way to read any book is prime numbered pages first, then even numbered pages working backwards, then any remaining pages ending with a 3, then whatever’s left over, but in alphabetical order of the first word on the page. Only then can you discern the author’s true intention.
