Pattern Recognition is a novel by William Gibson. Pattern Recognition is a song by Sonic Youth. Pattern Recognition was a radio show that I did at WSUM in Madison, Wisconsin, 2009-2015. Pattern Recognition is an internet-radio-show-podcast-type-thing that I do now on BFF.fm .
I don't understand how a heart is a spade
But somehow the vital connection is made.
