Yellow Swans - Going Places

September 01, 2020

Tenth anniversary reissue that still sounds remarkably good. It could have come out yesterday, to be honest.

Boomkat:

Perversely and brilliantly, Yellow Swans disbanded right at the point when they were tipping into wider recognition, just as the rest of the world was catching up with the noise scene which shattered into myriad strains of kosmische noise, Neo-industrial and power noise and would give us everyone from James Ferraro to 0PN, Wolf Eyes and Prurient. But a decade later Yellow Swans’ ‘Going Places’ feels like a scrawled note left by a lover who has fucked off to somewhere more exciting, and leaves behind a ragged palimpsest of memories, forgotten or suppressed emotions and maybe even an encrypted map of where to find them in the future.

Britbox August Updates

August 20, 2020

Today, the video streaming service created by the BBC and ITV released a nice new selection of classic 60s and 70s entertainment - mostly focused on science fiction.

The Prisoner
Sapphire and Steel
U.F.O
Thunderbirds
Randall and Hopkirk Deceased
The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
Captain Scarlet
Space 1999

If you're a fan of these shows, you'll be thrilled at this news with the added benefit that many of them are in HD too.

Testing out Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity Silver today. It's a quite unique (to me) scent that is fine for the summer. It may be not quite so good in really high humidity but overall, I am quite impressed.

Little Lies

August 10, 2020

Robert Pattison revealed in an interview with The Irish Times that he was forbidden from revealing his audition for the part to anyone - including his Tenet director Christopher Nolan. Except, considering Nolan is perhaps the master of secrets, Pattinson’s “lie” didn’t pass.

“I had to be really secretive about Batman stuff,” the actor said. “So I had to lie to Chris about having to go for a screen test.”

“I said I had a family emergency,” Pattinson explained. “And as soon as I said ‘it’s a family emergency’ he said: ‘You’re doing the Batman audition, aren’t you?'”

Return the value of one function and use it as an argument of another function.

def add(value_1, value_2):
    return value_1 * value_2

def subtract(value_1, value_2):
    return value_1 - value_2

def divide(value_1, value_2):
    return value_1 / value_2

def multiply(value_1, value_2):
    return value_1 * value_2

age = add(6,45)
height = subtract(7,1)
weight = divide(210, 2)
BMI = multiply(105, 6)

print "Age is: %d." % age;print "Height is: %d." % height;print "Weight is: %d." % weight
print "BMI is: %d." % BMI

what = add(age, subtract(height, multiply(weight, divide(BMI, 2))))

print "That becomes: ", what, "Can you do it by hand?"
