Radiohead - Reckoner



You are not to blame for
Bittersweet detractor
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all human beings

Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore
In rainbows
Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore

Reckoner
Take me with you
Dedicated to all human beings

The Meaning of Christmas



Tonight, A Charlie Brown Christmas special is being aired. This is the 45th year since it first premiered. Linus' quote from Luke 2:8-14 certainly gets the message right.

It's Geminid time!

Tonight is the night to observe the Geminids!



This evening I'll be taking a trip a ways out into the country for a good look at the winter sky to hopefully catch several shooting stars. Those with good skies should look to the East tonight, towards the Gemini constellation. Today is the peak time for the Geminid meteor shower, which is one of the best and most reliable of them all. Shooting stars should start showing sometime around 9 and continue well into the evening and morning. Reports last night indicated that observers were catching up to 40 Geminids per hour. Can't wait!

Girl Talk- Feed The Animals "Play Your Part (Pt. 1)"



Temple of the Dog by Girl Talk.

It all fits together.

The Raven. Problem?

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Love is a swimming pool with no bottom



The Submarines - "Swimming Pool"

She sounds so incredible live in such a simple setting.

Hopelandic

By Sigur Rós:

Svo hljott

ég hallaði á, í ró,
það stóð allt í stað, og þú…
þú söngst til mín, svo hljótt..
þú söngst til mín, svo hljótt..

í túnglsljósinu, ég sé tig á grúfu.
í túnglsljósinu, þú breytist í bláa dúfu

ég þakka þér þá von sem þú gafst mér
ég þakka þér þá von…



So quietly

I held you, in peace
Everything was in place, and you
You sang to me, so quietly
You sang to me, so quietly

In the moonlight, I see you prone
In the moonlight, you turn into a blue dove

I thank you for the hope you gave me
I thank you for the hope...
