Not the First Law, the Second Law . . .
Well, yes, but which one? Newton, Kepler, Mendel? No, the other one – Maxwell's Demon, Thomas Pynchon, ones and zeroes, Bob's your uncle. Here's a set of lyrics on and around the subject from our song of the same name, this one's not in the New Yorker yet, but it's only a matter if time, I feel sure. We'll be unleashing this at the geekpop live event on March 18th but there are still two new songs to come for the launch of March 12th. Can you contain yourselves?

Saturday night's alright for . . .
. . .playing in London's trendy Soho. Evening started with Will and Michael being approached by youths (estimated age: 14), who shyly mumbled "Where's the red light?".
