Did anyone in the US take the time to watch the eclipse this week? I did. It was a bit mundane, only because it was so short. Still, it was a once in a lifetime experience and I’m glad I took a couple of moments out of my day to appreciate it.
I’m traveling on business this week, so I’ll need to keep it brief. Let’s jump right in to the week’s categories:
- Mooninites Unite: Songs about all natural satellites. Feel free to include moons of other planets in the known universe. Or even fictitious ones.
- Throw Some Shade: Insults, criticisms, and otherwise stealing one’s sunshine.
- Singularity: Songs about rare events. Getting lucky. That one perfect moment.
I dedicate to you the sun, the moon, and these probable copyright violations.
zoomwsu: Here’s a safe choice.
pfluffy: Something popular from the 90’s. The 1790’s, that is.
spootyjim: Lots of good metal aligns with this theme, but I’m going with the apex band.
westvirginiarebel: Possibly my favorite among the dedications.
Santino: A song with “moon” in the title!
Zurvan: The only song in the dedications without “moon” in the title!
Grendel: A song with “moon” in the title and from the shittiest artist in the dedications!
CMNZ: A song with “moon” in the title and from the best artist in the dedications!
Judge Dredd, pro se: A song with “moon” in the title and from a rapper!
I’m feeling pretty lazy today, so I’ll grab the low hanging fruit: Bark at the Moon – Ozzy Osbourne
Two from one of my favorite (Moon) albums of all time.

Speak To Me
Modest Mouse from The Moon and Antarctica. Poor Earth got no respect during the eclipse. I mean, you have to be here to see it, right?

We had clear skies and totality where I was. One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.
Also, I heard Total Eclipse of the Heart at least five times that day.

The most obvious #2

My take on #3, keeping it local, although with the help of Johnny Marr and two from Radio head. Eddie Vedder was also involved for most of the night but not in this one. If you freeze the video at an exact point you can see my head, lol.

Crapola, sorry I thought I might have stopped the first post before it sent but clearly not (I’d repeated the same link). Feel free to delete first one, and this.
Sorry, one more…
“I’ll see you again
When the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over One Tree Hill”
