Tom Watson and Barbershop Tags

Tom Watson recently posted an excellent youtube rendition of a walk in the black forest. That is a tune I need to get the form for some time. I normally do chords substantially in the left hand, however.

My preferred source of youtube unusual music is mainly barbershop tags. I suppose it fits into an age in which things don't require a lot of concentration. Some of the more interesting tags involve people individually doing a multitrack recording with video. A creative video novelty is This one

This is quite a good example of a multitrack, but although it has a lot of hits the harmony is not as good as others with a relatively traditional cadence at the end.


This again is relatively traditional


If I get some time I will try to highlight some really good ones (musically), but it is worth rummaging the search engines for barbershop tags multitrack or not.

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
