These Are Those Things

Bratty Rock At Its Best

“Pushin Too Hard” by The Seeds has been one of my favorite songs since the moment I first heard it sometime in the late 70’s.  I first thought they were a new punk band at the time and only learned later, they came a decade or so earlier.  The song just grabbed me with it’s propulsive rhythm and some of the best bratty vocal stylings ever.  The nasal annoyance teams with the vocals to give it the perfect “get-off-my-back” attitude.

I’ve never seen them perform, but the bad lip-synch is worth the price of admission.

Earth Rise and Earth Set

These images were taken from the Japanese space capsule Selene in 2007.  It may be eight minutes without any sound, but sit back and watch things from a different perspective.  If you aren’t glad you did, we will put your money back in the bowl.

The EarthRise image Wide Shot was taken from near the North Pole, and the Arabian Peninsula and Indian Ocean can be observed on the Earth.

The EarthSet image Tele Shot was taken from near the South Pole, and we can see the Australian Continent (center left) and the Asian Continent (lower right) on the Earth.
