| This is what Uranus looks like! Actual photograph! Of Uranus! |
This is yer actual gas music from Uranus! Captured by the zircon-encrusted antenna of NASA's deep space probe Voyager! It's what Lou Reed was trying for with Metal Machine Music, but much more interesting, varied, complex, listenable, and human - Now That's What I Call Minimalist Drone! You'll dig it to fall asleep to, or have blasting from the holodeck when unexpected guests drop by! Play it in the car on long road trips, and see where you wake up! Slowly pump it up as background noise at work while you deal with that irate customer! Trip out to it at the Waffle House™! It's the soundtrack to the far side of tomorrow, today!
This post made possible thru th' cooperation of the wacky geeks at NASA!

Aletta Ocean?
ReplyDeleteFavorite celestial bodies . . . hmmm. There is of course Myra Nussbaum. Or Monica Vitti. I'll go with Hale-Bopp. --Muzak McM.
ReplyDeleteThe Canadian I dated for awhile had one hell of a celestial body.
ReplyDeleteSo, one of the largest telescopes in the world is located in beautiful, downtown, Livingston parish, Louisiana. Home of the klan, pitbull breeding factories and more inbred insanity than people living next to Chernobyl (once had a legal matter there where a settlement blew up because the president of the parish police jury was away for 6 weeks traveling the country selling pit bull puppies, and he had sole authority to sign checks). So, about 8 years ago, my company "won" a contract to do some interior rehab work at the observatory. Contract specified a locality rule, where we had to use x number of people who lived within 20 miles of the job site. There were literally only 97 people who lived within that geographic limitation, and the number who were skilled and could pass a drug screen, were 97 less than that. We got a huge change order to use people outside the radius. So, thank you American taxpayers.

ReplyDeleteEarth's mirror twin to e found at the end of a journey to the far side of the sun.
ReplyDelete... where the atmospheric pressure would crush you to diamonds.
DeleteIf you've listened to this, it's actual real recordings of radio transmissions mixed into a cosmic composition by the good people at NASA. Which explains the "more human" quality. Reminds me of Bowman's kaleidoscopic trip at the end of 2001, or maybe a missing section of Saucerful Of Secrets.
