HIATUS/INTERPLANETARY PROBE

Here's the plan for the next few weeks.

During the Wednesdays of February 3, 10, 17, and March 3, UCI basketball with air during my regular hours (8-9pm).

Paul (Admiral Cheeks), in his infinite generosity, is allowing me to co-pilot his 2-4pm show with him on the Fridays of February 12 and 19 and March 5.

Basically for the next three weeks and the first week of March, I'll be on Two Left Feet and Bunnies in Space will be off the air, but the last week of February and the rest of the quarter will be normal!

Stay strong, cadets. Our mission will not be compromised.

· Howard Zinn died today. Here is the quote that I read on the air.
· For the next three weeks, UCI basketball games will be on the air during my timeslot. I'm thinking of recording a show anyway and just posting it online...any thoughts?
· Vivian Girls acoustic day show at UCI next Friday. See you there!

SHOW TONIGHT

TALIBAM!
"Talibam take that moment in 'Sister Ray' when John Cale decides to kick the shit out of Lou Reed as their starting point. They rock the shit out in every way imaginable: fury and fun, performance and presence. Talibam are a punk Coltrane, noise as affect - everybody in the audience is left smiling."

SEX WORKER
Daniel Martin-McCormick of BLACK EYES (dischord) and MI AMI spins some synth webbing.
"It's a sort of ritual performance centered around themes of sex slavery, human trafficking and the idea of sexual activity or inactivity as potentially traumatic experiences."

SPRAWL OUT
Our very own.

GIVEAWAY!

Gestapo Khazi gave me this CD at an Acrobatics Everyday show last year. They're sort of surfy snarl punk from Long Beach, kind of Kurt Vile-ish but faster and noisier.

CD and insert with lyrics. Anteater not included.

If you are interested, leave a comment on this post. I'll choose the winning commenter at random on Monday, January 25th at 8pm. I'll send it via USPS first class mail or hand-deliver it if the winner is someone I know. Also sorry but you have to be located in the United States to win. Good luck!

new schedule

what's up in space lately: a roundup

SPACE

· Yesterday, the Kepler team announced the discovery of five new planets in the habitable zone of sunlike stars. They're all really hot, and most likely do not harbor life. But even if they are inhospitable to life, this is good news since it is proof that the Kepler telescope works and can, in the future, find more Earth-like planets!
More at USA Today, and the official Kepler press release.

· And today the Hubble telescope found some neat stuff! Hubble has broken the distance limit for galaxies and uncovered a primordial population of compact and ultra-blue galaxies that have never been seen before. This is a pretty big deal not just because it's stuff really far away, but because that light had to travel a very long time to get to our telescope. Basically, what you see in these images are things that were really there, eons before you or I was born. We, here in the present, are getting to see a scene that is BILLIONS of years old, a moment in time inconceivably long ago. While the light from these galaxies traveled to get to us, life has risen and died out in them over and over and over and over again. We're seeing a picture of dust not unlike the stuff that eventually formed you and me. I have only been here as a human on this planet for nineteen revolutions of the planet Earth and I get to experience the unbearable significance of the entire cosmos consciously knowing itself. Words cannot describe.
You can find out more about exactly what the telescope saw and what it means at Hubble's website.


Be humble for you are made of earth.
Be noble for you are made of stars.
--Serbian proverb

Stephen Steinbrink, Ugly Unknowns

Cole, Gifts

The Pastels & Tenniscoats, Two Sunsets

Lullatone, Songs That Spin in Circles This is my favorite album of the year. Shawn and Yoshimi made the record to be played for their newborn baby, so the songs are designed to be looped. Also the cover has an interactive color wheel on it which you can play with.

Category: Space

Mount Eerie, Wind's Poem Even though I haven't been listening to this a while lot, Phil's performance of the album with the full band sealed the deal for me.
