A Light So Dim
My current favorite song (apart from everything ever written and performed by Emmet) is by a band called The Black Heart Procession. I wish I could make a AlgoKreeda music video for them during AlgoMantra 2005.
Imagine a dark and windy beach on a desolate island with monks chanting the song as they move around on a grid in the sand, following a three step algorithm and carrying a dim light in their cupped hands. Strong winds blow out many of the lights, but they spread in the network of monks again...
You can download a couple of mp3s, including A Ligh So Dim at the link in the title, which goes like this:
“there are no trains that leave from the maze
my only chance was a ship to escape
if you are the light house in the storm
i’ll be the ship with a thousand dead souls
how long will they believe in a light so dim
down in the gallows the darkness glows
it was hard to see in the hearts of them
if you see a light call down below
i’ll be moving and sorting out our fears
how long will we believe in a light so dim"

Har Har Rohit *wags finger like a friendly dog wags its tail*
Love that track too... rolling down the slippery slope to the abyss that is glee

I thought you were going to start again about Irish monks fiercely protecting the light of knowledge...

Rohit, have you noticed how this blog is turning into a private conversation? *laughs* Maybe we should do this via e-mail?
On the other hand, I do like the aesthetics and the hyperlinkability.
Yours conumdrumingly,

Oh yeah, I thought I'd give the monks a rest this time :) They've been working flat out all winter and I don;t want trouble with the Union.
