All That Glitters Is Not Gold, But At Least It Contains Free Electrons- We Are Scientists and The Shins

I clicked on a link, you know how it is, on the internet, and then clicked on another, and so on, until I ended up here, a site specifically dedicated to chemistry puns.

'Oxidants happen.'

'Q: What kind of ghosts haunt chemistry faculties?
A: Methylated Spirits.'

'The name's Bond, Covalent Bond.'

Which reminded me...

We Are Scientists. Another good name for a band- another good band, I think. See what you think by listening to them here, and see what they look like altogether and naked in a shower here.


To be honest, I'm not 100% on them- they're not my usual thing, but catchy and cool, and playing in Glasgow soon. Crucially, the gig is on a Saturday night- a reason in itself to go and see a band.

In fact, on second listenings, these are fab pop tunes- here's another winner...

While we're at it, the ever glorious Shins keep making the world a little bit more beautiful- watch them at work here. In fact, a passable way to spend one's life would be to upload a song a day from this beautiful band to help the world with all, all of its problems. And isn't this even a lovely photograph...
