Red Accordion

Posted by Mark on Nov 16, 2011 | 6 Comments

A group of buskers regularly entertain the shoppers of Chichester on a Wednesday afternoon. Today they were joined by a red-haired musician playing a red accordion. Amongst their folk repertoire there was a short rendition of Led Zeppelin which I found very enjoyable.

"[S]ince the 1940s many of the country's leading authors have imagined the many ways in which British democracy could go wrong. Their fictions depict a Britain of the near future populated by dictatorships, coups and conspiracies. And, despite their grim storylines, such dystopias have often been extremely popular." - Mark H

"The Establishment conspiracy remained the hallmark of many dystopias into the 1990s and beyond. Those who are meant to defend democracy have now become - in fictional terms at least - amongst its greatest enemies. Significantly, in an era when the people's trust in representative politics is said to be at an all-time low, politicians have increasingly become the popular villain of choice. " - Mark H

"Israel is truly a country which left me overwhelmed by its rich cultural diversity and nature. A country shaped by its historical tradition and its undergoing upheaval. If the term ‘culture clash’ fits exactly to one specific place, then it definitely is Israel. I expected a nationwide tensed atmosphere and found a country that somehow learned to extract the good from its social reality that is heavily affected by the ongoing mideast conflict." - Mark H

"Especially Tel Aviv is a microcosm by its own. The pulsing metropole is chasing a certain lifestyle that some might call ‘a hedonistic dream in the midst of the holy land’. In fact the city is offering a huge variety of nice cafés and bars, its rising art scene is taking an interesting fresh new turn, the beach is around the corner and the parties are loud and long. In opposite to that the neighbouring city of Jerusalem is holding it up in a different multifaceted way. As a mekka equally sacred for Jews, Christians and Muslims, Jerusalem is the melting pot of the nation, representing each and every ethnic group not only in terms of its traditional religious beliefs but also in its range of culinary specialties." - Mark H

"We often think of computers as a very modern phenomenon, but there were actually plenty of computers around 50 years ago. They just weren’t an everyman commodity, instead limited to goverment and corporate use. And they certainly weren’t small. Some of them had imaginative names like Whirlwind, Colossus and Pegasus, while others were slightly less poetic with names like Z4, AN/FSQ-7 and ENIAC." - Mark H

"These computers didn’t use the same kind of components as we do today. The computers in the 1940s and 1950s were mostly based on vacuum tubes. Transistors showed up late in the game, and integrated circuits were just a distant dream and didn’t start showing up in computers until the 1960s, and then in very limited capacity. How tempting it would be to travel back in time and show the engineers of these computers a normal modern-day PC, just to see their reaction." - Mark H
