Cool science stuff

The idea that they accidentally played the master of "I Think We're Alone Now" backward and said, "HEY! Two hit songs for the price of one" is awesome. And "Mirage" is the better of the two, in my opinion.

There's actually a subtle nod to "Telstar" during the chorus.

 

Among the many tidbits unearthed on Little Steven's Underground Garage: Sound effects on this song include the flushing of a toilet!

 

Insane that so many Tommy James songs got covered in the 1980s (they actually are pretty catchy).

The only Top 10 song of his that didn't get covered was "Hanky Panky," but Madonna took care of that with a different song of the same title.

 

Where's the drummer? They show the keyboardist but not the percussionist(s).

 

Oh shit

Hopes Rise for India to Become First to Land on Moon’s South Pole

Well, considering India has never successfully soft landed anything on the moon at all and their most recent launch to the moon had been made in 2009, I'd say those hopes are progressing at an extremely gradual rate in any case.

India is a country chock-full of math whizzes. How hard can it be?

 

A legitimate suggestion, and plan, to combat climate change is discussed here:

Massive Forest Restoration Could Greatly Slow Global Warming

It's a very hopeful tack, and I hope it gets done. It would undoubtedly help against habitat destruction for many animal species as well.

 

Still very early days, but this could be huge if it lives up to its promise.

 

That was the work of cutting-edge producer Joe Meek, who also produced The Honeycombs' "Have I the Right?" Meek eventually lost his mind and shot his landlady in a murder-suicide. As his mental health deteriorated he developed an obsession with communicating with the dead.

 

Thanks for cheering up my day.

 

Oink oink!
