Fractionals

Mike Powell has an excellent post up over on his blog talking about music and morals; the part I respond to most strongly, though, if where he talks about the way we can't seem to distance ourselves from music the way we do from cinema, literature, and etc.

(I say "we" because, although I'm not exactly Mike, I do recognize myself in what he's written with a not-quite-unfamiliar shock - there's something bigger lurking here about Eternal Recurrance and how one of the attributes of the best writing is coming suddenly upon something that makes you realise the writer has felt something that you thought was real but pricate, only existing for you - but it deserves a bit more attention than I can give it now, stealing keyboard time between calls at work)
