Notes from the Underground

I tolerate this century, but I don't enjoy it.

All of the ephemera that is far too trivial to be bothered with elsewhere on this site or, depending on your point of view, a meta-commentary on it. This ephemera includes, but is not limited to art, music and literature. Most of the content here will be discussed in terms that are as abstract as possible, reality being a singularly overrated concept.

Amusing piece from the BBC on a new Celtic style Devonian flag upsetting Cornish traditionalists. Amusing because tradition is always an invented concept (the Victorians were particularly adept at engineering tradition, from Christmas trees to the trooping of the colour), if Cornwall feels that its own Celtic heritage has been appropriated (and that, by extension, they have been denuded of it), perhaps they should seek to reinvent themselves too?
