Cambridge and Concert
Dear Cambridge. You are supposedly the 6th university in the field of technology in the world (link requires subscription). However, as graduate degrees you only offer a PhD, an MPhil or a “Diploma”. The latter being mostly courses from the second year of a BSc Computer Science. What on earth convinced you not to have a regular MSc degree? It’s baffling me, whatever the case.
In other news, I went to see Anna Ternheim in Lantaren-Venster yesterday. This was fun, though the dual concert approach wasn’t all that successful in my eyes – Vinicio Capossela simply makes a very different kind of music, so to me this didn’t better the experience much. I’m not sure if, in hindsight, I should have preferred missing his bit of the concert. Regardless, I liked the somewhat more intimate approach (about 200-300 people attended) than what you generally see on tv (this was the first ‘pop’ concert I ever attended – I’ve been to classical concerts before). I had a good time, though I unfortunately didn’t manage to get an autograph on the cd I bought, which is sort of a shame. Oh well.
Edit: You can listen to some of her music on MySpace. I wouldn’t normally link there, but this is the only place I can find where you can listen to “No Subtle Men”, which she sang last night and is absolutely great, if you ask me.
