Bargepole hears the sound of a big machine – yes, the Hadron Collider is to be restarted today after a two year break. Any tunes to commemorate the occasion?

Musings on the byways of popular culture
Any tune played on a Bassoon.
(That’s what they’re looking for isn’t it?)
And once they’ve found that, if they keep searching a clarinet and oboe may also become apparent. The search for the Cor Anglais may take much longer though
They’ve already found Higgsy’s Bassoon, haven’t they?
Hopefully, this time they’re going for his bass clarinet. Or maybe his tuba.
A tune for the occasion…..dark matter personified as a band……
Mmmmmmm Yum. Thankee Fitter.
This version of VdGG didn’t get much good press at the time, even from supporters of the band….but I thought they were just BRUTAL (and I mean that as a compliment). There were suggestions at the time of Nic Potter suffering some bad psychic effects as a consequence of the dark energy on stage…
Power at maximum? Check. Magnets aligned? Check. Tunnels clear? Check. Fire her up and hope for the best.

It’s great news that the big Hadron Collider is back. It’s important work but devilishly difficult to explain. I think MC Tunes does a much better job than me.
I love this. It’s got a sample from Resurrection and some beeping, making it the 1991est record in the world.
