My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights #94 – Of Art & Image edition is broadcasted Monday, 2nd and 9th,  3-4pm (London time) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

Of Art & Image edition has 15 songs that refer to art, artists, mostly painters, and image, both still and motion. The Manic Street Preachers have two songs, from Everything Must Go, their fourth album. One for painting, Interiors (Song for Willem de Kooning), and one for photography, Kevin Carter.

Don McLean’s Vincent is based on Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, while Dire Straits’ In the Gallery is a tribute to sculptor Harry Braun.

Bauhaus and their Bela Lugosi’s Dead are a double reference. The band’s name to the German arts, design, architecture, crafts school, and to Hungarian-American actor Bela Lugosi.

My site The Polymath – Me as a Polymath

Johannes Vermeer – Officer and Laughing Girl – 1658

On Being a Polymath is my first post on The Polymath my site on being a Polymath and all things Polymathic.

On Being a Polymath is a post about exploring curiosity, depth, and the art of connecting ideas at the heart of being a Polymath. Polymath is a space, for my endless curiosity on a number of subjects.

On Polymath creative lives, maps, and readings that illuminate threads often unseen are explored. Each reflection is an invitation—to expand perspective, engage intuition, and cultivate resonance across disciplines.

Whether you are a musician, writer, artist, or thinker, the journey is about integrating insight, practice, and imagination. Polymath journeys through tools, readings, and reflections that support your exploration and inspire your own creative path, as well as mine.Polymath is a companion of The Listening Room HQ, that also has a dedicated area to maps & readings.
