You may remember me chanting about these guys a while ago with their "Home." It's a really fun song. I'm surprised none of you jumped on it.
Well, while the whole album may not work so great, there is another song I'd like you to check out. Again, nothing mind blowing, but still kinda fun.

Dear Space,
Thank you.

"A Ring of Light Around the Sun
Photographer Miloslav Druckmuller artificially removed the blue sky around the sun's surface in this image of an eclipse. The result reveals the green hues of the inner ring, or inner corona, which gets its tint from a form of highly ionized iron known as "coronium."
In this photo, the corona becomes redder the farther it is from the sun. That's because dust particles deflect shorter wavelengths of light more than longer wavelenghts, so only long-wavelength light--i.e., red--finds its way to the camera."

When the Sun's Surface Erupts
Arc-like solar prominences like these form when hot gaseous matter erupts from the sun, then is drawn back to the solar surface by strong magnetic fields.
Solar prominences, which are the most common solar activity, don't disappear instantaneously; in fact, they can last for months. They can also extend for thousands of miles above the solar surface and release the gas they contain into space.
Thank you.

Scott

Delta Spirit - Streetwalker
Here before the Shanty crowd I submit that a good part of the magic of Mumford was the result of someone attempting to extract some kind of emo-punk out of folk music. In this way, it's probably safe to say that the combination of the two genres should yeild some exciting stuff. With that, take a look at Delta Spirit.
After the San Diego-based emo outfit Noise Ratchet called it quits in 2004, the bassist and drummer decided to ditch their punk influenced sound for something more rootsy. Welcome to the Shanty, Delta Spirit.

Autotune the News
Excuse me while I go geek out on this for the next few weeks. The rape was actually a pretty recent news story. These guys have taken the video recording of that story and run it through some software (sort like the stuff that T Pain uses). Now they're making "Billboard Top 100" money. Story at Techdirt.
