christmas in the month of wolves

[adelaidesean]

Following our discussion last week, I stumbled across this interesting piece concerning the distribution of the months in phrases similar to "it's like Christmas in July". More interesting than it sounds. There are graphs and everything.

And a mystery: why is "Christmas in March" more popular than the distribution suggests it should be? If anyone knows, tell Tenser, said the Tensor.

"Frame of Reference", an unreadable mess of squiggles masquerading as a musical score, seems an appropriate track to lift from the the repertoire of the damned.

(Tomorrow: a recording from the depths of 1984.)

I kind of want to see just how unreadable those squiggles are.

I've certainly seen Kronos quartet perform things that looked like squiggles to me.

Imagine graph paper with lots of angular pencil lines and various shaded areas. I can't remember the key, so it's all pretty meaningless even to me now. That, of course, doesn't mean that someone couldn't make meaningful sounds out of it, but I'd be embarrassed to hand it over. :-)

If they weren't boxed up, I'd scan a page so you could see for yourself.
