"Music is essentially useless. As is life." - George Santayana

So, welcome. Essentially Useless is a blog about Music and, if we feel inclined, Life. Hence the quote. Hence the title.

We're two old college friends living in London and Cambridge, we've written places before but tend to have too wide a taste to limit ourselves to one publication. So here's a place for uninhibited splurging.

We'll do our own introductory posts at some point, but if you've just discovered us and are reading back through the articles chronologically, you've now reached the end. Congratulations. Have a cookie.
