I’d go nuts for Bolt on clock
POP star Sting’s been working with a cognitivie psychologist on how the human brain computes music.
Daniel Levitin did MRI scans on his head to show how he analyses sound. Sting, 64, who had a hit with a cover of 60s classic Windmills of Your Mind, became fascinated by the science after reading the doc’s research.
“State- of- the- art techniques allowed us to make maps of how Sting’s brain organises music,” Levitin explains. “At the heart of great musicianship, is the ability to manipulate in one’s mind, the rich representation of the desired soundscape.”Interesting.
I had a brain scan recently, above, and found the images baffling. But perhaps I’ve been manipulating landscapes as I appear to be growing an enormous fern in my bonce.
Or is that normal – in the landfills of your mind? THE race is on to find a new voice for the speaking clock. Anyone can enter BT’s competition but some silvertongued celebrities are already being tipped – such as Clare Balding and S Sir Ian McKellen.
If it wasn’t for that V Virgin deal I’d pick U Usain Bolt like a shot. Th The sprinter knows ev every second counts, an and his lovely Jamaica can tones would be just the ticket.
And after celebrating the trebletreble with countless women I reckon Usain knows precisely where the hands go at the third stroke…
