A cool friday, and we stay on theme as we ask the mighty iPod:
oh Mighty iPod, what is with the puffy planets we're finding...
- The Covering: Somewhere Only We Know - Keane
- The Crossing: Homecoming - Green Day
- The Crown: Söngur Bakardrengsins - Thorbjorn Egner
- The Root: Cancion - Julian Bream
- The Past: Miss Brown to You - Billie Holliday
- The Future: Lover, Come Back to Me - Billie Holliday
- The Questioner: USA - Pogues
- The House: Take A Chance With Me - Roxy Music
- The Inside: Prodigal Daughter - Michelle Shocked
- The Outcome: Dance of the Reed Pipes - Tchaikovsky
Hm Covering start well. The Crossing is a complex and long tale of self-discovery and loss.
The Crown is the Song of the Baker's Boy, and the importance of getting the right ingredients.
The Root is instrumenal latin music - long stanzas of non-dancable secular music. Hmm.
The Past is sassy, the Future has some astronomical theme - moons...
Questioner is intriguing - mighty is the iPod... but the House is a downer.
The Inside is sardonic redemption and return,
as for the Outcome - "lacks the dynamics" of the original Dance of the Flutes.
Hm, tricky. There are hints as to composition and wrong ingredients, and NOT dynamics.
Which is curious - since it is hard to go puffier than pure H/He mixture for planetary composition.
I'm not sure I believe the hints about the moons, but then the later songs tell of disbelief and rejection.
Ok, so the explanation is not the straightforward dynamical, and we need to ponder composition and moons. Makes no sense to me.
As always, the Key as explained by Sean
HAT-P-1b - a very poufy planet or
here for the poufy press release
The world is spinning
Around and around
Out of control again
