More from our volcano correspondent

Now this is what science should be used for. Lava guided melodies!

The researchers involved hope to use similar vulco-musical passages to predict eruptions in other volcanoes. BUT - what if one of the volcanoes is all Wagner orchestral drama and another is 'Rrrrright! Now... haahahahahaaa... Iiiii am an anti-CHRIST!' [et cetera]? Would Etna be a sell-out? 'It's done nothing since Pompeii...'


'I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died...
if i'd never loved I never would have cried...' [I am a rock...]

It might be possible to stretch this music/volcanoes conflation a bit too much, but what if - gah! - they all just sound a bit like Kasabian?

Brrrrrr - that'd be a conflagration you definitely don't want to hear.

[Original comment also by me - I wished only to add the words 'The esteemed' at the start. Blogger.com is ok in some regards but a proper pain in the arse in others...]
Ahem! The esteemed Mr Breeze of http://the-breezy-call.livejournal.com/
points out that it is, in fact, Vesuvius that is the Dame David Bowie of volcanoes. Etna is innocent of any involvement in the Pompeii incident, and I am exposed as a part-time pedant.
