Tom Lehrer video

[jrtom]

A movie of a Tom Lehrer performance in a mathematics lecture. V. cool. (Rather large, though; it's about 13 minutes of video.)

Someday I really need to acquire the man's collected works. Or at least large chunks of them. Hmm...

You're welcome to copy my CDs. It's not the Complete Set, but it's the three full CDs that were released on their own. So they're only missing things like "I Got It From Agnes" and "Hanukkah in Santa Monica," which are definitely worth hearing, but maybe not enough to spend $45.

I wish that vid ran, because it sounds very cool.

Not sure what you mean. That page itself does not automatically play the video; there are links to 5 different downloadable versions in the left sidebar (underneath the animated GIF), plus a link to a streaming version. (I'd recommend downloading it, personally.)

I tried, but no luck.

That's a very kind offer (although unless we can inveigle you to visit again I'm not sure when I'd get a chance to borrow them to copy them). Might take you up on it. At some point, though, since I'm not destitute, I should probably just buy them if I want 'em. Got to, um, prop up the record companies, you know... :)
