I've been spending more time than usual on YouTube lately thanks to my new iPad. One of the most amazing music videos I've found is for Laura Barrett's song Robot Ponies. My musical hero John Peel always said "I just want to hear something I've never heard before." This song definitely qualifies.
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull
his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand
this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they
receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
