AAaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh....

*Is dead*

James May, talking about the physics of violins on Radio 3. Comparing Bach to Porsches, and Pythagoras and harmonics and double stopping and Chopin and GUH.

Holy crap, there is nothing more attractive than well-applied intelligence.

Pythagoras I can handle.

Violin physics, no. I can bore for England on the bloody subject I do not need it hawt-izing. Especially when I can't vibratto for shit.

It helps if having physics talked at you is something of a turn on...

Oh physics being talked at me is a turn on anyway.

It's the thought of string vibration and sound magnification/amplification in a violin-y context that's... I can't listen to anyone talking about stuff like that without it combusting me knickers. ¬.¬ In short, it's a good job I missed it, innit?
