When talking to my Mum last night I mentioned that Michael and I had gone to a Placebo concert a couple of years ago. Mum ,not having heard of them asked, reasonably enough, if they were a band - which of course they are. But it makes you wonder what an actual "placebo concert" would be like - would you just sit in a darkened room, but feel like you'd watched people playing guitars and singing?
Also, one of the Provers was today expressing concern about the cows in the field next to the Astronomy Dept. Apparently one herd had vanished for a few days, and been replaced by a new one, giving rise to the fear that they'd been taken off to be eaten. Even more worrying was the fact the previous night's menu at Churchill College (just along the road) had been beef... The food is indeed very fresh at the colleges here...
And finally, if you can get thick-cut and fine-cut marmalade, is the stuff with whisky in it half-cut?

I think that the band would go through the motions of playing but without any sound and that 50% of the audience would feel as if they had heard music while the other 50% wouldn't.
