OK, OK, so the EYHO Blog is certainly not the first site on the Net to report this news but nevertheless the demise of one of Sheffield?s finest exports, The Long Blondes, deserves a brief but heartfelt obituary.

Derbyshire was born in Coventry and studied mathematics and music at Cambridge. This curious combination no doubt influenced her work as an innovator in the field of bringing logical, scientific approaches [...]

out,? Larry suggested.
