Description

from Bryn:

In an alternative universe we enlisted the help of the virtual B52's
148 bpm of pure sonic pleasure...
LOUDER, BRASHER, FASTER
None of that ambient sh** here!

from Cat:

Uh...I'm supposed to sing what????

(Seriously...this was a ton of fun to sing to. THANK YOU, Bryn, for cooking up a great spur-of-the-moment punk backdrop for me to go crazy to. You're a fab magpie! ;)

Lyrics

Your daddy was a Physicist
Your mama was a Nurse
They filled your head with Science
Til you thought that it would burst.

They drew up plans for Harvard--
But it wasn't meant to be.
'Cause you were working day and night
On learning 'string theory'

CHORUS:
String Theory
You were playing A & B
Eb and a G and D
You were playing string theory

You never thought you'd do much more
Than start out in a band
But then you soon discovered
That your skills were in demand

You hated crunching numbers
But you ruled at crunching chords
And everywhere you play
They always cheer and shout for more

(CHORUS)

String theory...etc...
Supersymmetry....and Excitation Modes....

	abelian isometries Yeah, this reminds me of B52's too. It also reminds me that in string theory it is known that abelian isometries in the a-model lead to target space duality. We can generalize this duality to backgrounds with non-abelian isometries. Check out my latest song called COLOR TV cbgb demo
