SAVE US GALACTIC FEDERATION (episode 30)

My thoughts on how the pandemic is a giant audition for the Space Federation and we are failing it miserably. Do you know how many aliens must be laughing at us right now? Think about the weirdest documentary you ever watched. One about people keeping monkeys as babies. Or the multiple documentaries about men with mannequin girlfriends. Think about the cruelest person from each film. That's us, but on a multi- galactic scale. Why are we this way? Explore as many genres of songs about space by humans that I can reasonably flow together. Synthwave. Country. Ideal breakfast sandwich combinations.

Everyone's favorite space bear makes an appearance, as do a couple of songs about cats in space.

good morning

cue ze space discooooooooo 0 0 0 0

moon shoes required

egg & cheese w/ sauteed onion green pepper jalapeno on lightly toasted whole grain

that is an excellent breakfast sandwich, I agree

do you like any condiments on it?

touch of mayo, maybe sriracha!

what is the Trenton Volcano? Don't leave us hangin!

It's difficult to describe! swiss cheese, everything bagel seasoning, pork roll, spinach inside a croissant-like round savory cheese pastry

Sounds good! Off to work...will be listening periodically. Thanks...space on!

Good morning, Krista! What a wonderful, spacey, funky accompaniment to hear whilst driving my son Max to his day program! Sun's shining, sky is limpidly blue -- a perfect Habitat Enrichment bliss-out! <3

lovely to hear, Teresa! I was cleaning the breakfast off my own son!

Another brilliant week at PRB. Yesterday's Zappa deep dive was inspirational. Good AM, Krist, great morning send off1

krista

hi kentman, nice to hear you're liking it!

A Good VDay to everyone.V as in vaccination

Shonen Knife was recommended by both Commie Francis of Uneasy Listening and Dana K of Don't Back the Front.

I wish I could get my vaccination today! The day I do is the day you'll hear the strangest cover I can find of LMFAO's "Shots" on the radio!

Just watching others get theirs is SO relieving! I feel like a weight is lifting a little bit.

We'll be hear, here for that!

What kentman said! 💕 It fills me with hope and relief too.

My second to last song of the day is quite challenging to the listener, and contains tones some people with hearing loss might find either amazing (like me) or terrible, fair warning. It's a very interesting synth track, starts at 9:50

Read it in the Irish Times this Am,Teresa,they are calling their vaccination roll out VDay

Go Dolly G

I was SO happy to find that cover! Up next: 3 different songs about Astral Planes

Tardigrades Rule something or other,must read article by Israeli scientist,thank you Krista
