This paper seeks to synthesize much recent work on the HTSC materials around\nthe latest energy resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) results from\nDavis and coworkers. The STM conductance diffuse scattering results in\nparticular are employed as point of entry to discuss bosonic modes, both of\ncondensed and uncondensed form. The bosonic mode picture is essential to\nunderstanding an ever growing range of observations within the HTSC field. The\nwork is expounded within the context of the site-inhomogeneous negative-U\nboson-fermion modelling long advocated by the author. This general approach is\npresently seeing much theoretical development, into which I have looked to\ncouple many of the experimental advances. While this formal theory is not yet\nsufficiently detailed to cover adequately all the experimental complexities\npresented by the real cuprate systems, it is clear it affords very appreciable\nsupport to the line taken. An attempt is made throughout to clarify why and how\nit is that these novel circumstances and phenomena are tied so very closely to\nthis particular set of materials.\n
