iPod iChing - most Nobel

Traveling friday, and we ask a timely question:

Oh Mighty Omniscient One - who will the Academy give the nod to next week for that most noble of all science prized?

Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.

  • The Covering: The Modern Things - Björk
  • The Crossing: Waiting in Vain - Bob Marley and the Wailers
  • The Crown: Gods' Comic - Elvis Costello
  • The Root: California Uber Alles - Dead Kennedys
  • The Past: Colpito qui m'avete - Pavarotti
  • The Future: J'ai Plus Fin - Henry Dés
  • The Questioner: Shadow Play - Joy Division
  • The House: Chinese Dance - Tchaikovsky
  • The Inside: Clubland - Elvis Costello
  • The Outcome: I. Concerto No. 3 (Autumn) - Vivaldi

Must include the next: #11 is "Sciences Sans Concience" - Alpha Blondy, and #12 is Teenage Dad on His Estate - Morrissey.

Well, you decide for yourselves, eh.
The Crossing and the Root are interesting. So is the House.
I guess the Future tells us it is a field still in progress.
Questioner is a bit ominous, anyone remember the context of that one.

Hm, was there a breakthrough in a currently active field by chinese scientists now/then in California in 1984?
Outcome sure goes with Autumn I.3 eh - lets see what Oct 3rd brings.

Björk - The Modern Things Lyrics

all the modern things
like cars and such
have always existed

they've just been waiting in a mountain
for the right moment
listening to the irritating noises
of dinosaurs and people
dabbling outside

all the modern things
have always existed
they've just been waiting
to come out

and multiply
and take over
it's their turn now...

As always, the Key as explained by Sean

Waiting in Vain

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
From the very first time I blessed my eyes on you, girl
My heart says, "Follow through."
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting feel is fine
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
'Cause I know how to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come
