About

Hello and welcome to this web-log-site thing!

My name is Pan Xenos but I'm sure you already know that is just another handle... Yes, I have had several of those over the years. If you played the classic adventure game Myst in the 1990s, you will probably remember the next question from your first encounter with the evil brothers on the island (in the library). Man, that game was really something else!

- Who are you?

Right! I almost forgot, my real name is Παναγιωτης Πολυχρονοπουλος. I was born and grew up in Athens, Greece but I have dual citizenship which means I am Pan Polychronopoulos in the UK. If you want to know more about me, just ask and I will write a detailed post, I've nothing to hide. Only this page is about the web-log-site thingy.

Well this actually is my thoughts and ideas channel. The main focus is on music and technology, for now! Other areas of interest may be appended as I prefer to let thoughts come rather than force them. Needless to say there will never be any marketing or advertising tricks here. Plastic-fantastic is not my cup of tea and I certainly don't approve of social media influencers, so there's one thing to take into consideration.

The layout follows the host platform's blog format, grouping the posts into themes or labels. There are two static pages, About (site information page) and Contact (feedback page). I have also included a top-menu for easier navigation.

I hope you enjoy the content

PARTHENOGENESIS 4 July 2023 Parthenogenesis was born in the fall of 1978, but the story begins at a disco-club in Ilioupolis, Kanaria Sq. about a year earlier. At the time, it was normal practice for club owners to have one or more live rock nights during the week as the disco boys and girls went dancing on Fridays and Saturdays. It was on one of those week nights that I first met Alberto and George. Their group was called 'Airborne' and mine was 'Crystal Faces'. We had a good chat over a few beers and about a month later, I decided to leave 'Crystal Faces' and join 'Airborne'. For almost a year, we played mostly covers of popular rock songs. We also tried to write some prog-rock stuff of our own, we were all big 'Pink Floyd' fans, but it was not really working. Then, in the summer of 1978, after a falling out with the guitarist of the group, the three remaining members Alberto Levis, George Makridis, and myself (then, Takis Polychronopoulos...

Full Empty  -  Pan Thistle, 2015          music video * based on the novel "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, 1971 The china bowl preyed on your mind a wild flame in your heart The car tossed and turned onto Western Highway the dummy tank full of swag The air turned hard let the blood drip down your marble face and drop by the outpost where the Blues hug the fireplace Were it just the greenbacks, a death-defying legend, noble cause or treason? The same voice, the evening rain Casual dreamer - falling down again Everyday schemer - freedom on a verse Caught inside your web, you bend the rules Blind faith dealer "Millions upon millions of people knew nothing! It was what they wanted! To know nothing and.. even if they found out, they'd probably ooh and aah for five minutes.. then go back to their own routines" Casual dreamer Everyday schemer Caught inside this magnetic trap "so-so" dealer Pull back the night - got to k...
