The Beatles are now no less seminal than Shakespeare in English culture, and it was interesting to hear on the radio that someone has busied themselves setting Shakespeare’s sonnets to The Beatles’ music. Can’t find any links, but it made me wonder whether Wordle Word Clouds could bring out any synergies between The Beatles and [...]

2003 was the year the arts world finally afforded Olya’s the recognition she deserves, when Tate Modern awarded her honorary membership.
