Pumpkintown

The news is out. The Smashing Pumpkins are reuniting, and a new album is imminent. To prepare for that special occasion I’ve been listening to some of their previous work, including the internet-only release Machina II. On this collection appears the wondrous masterwork “Home,” a song that has quickly risen through the ranks of my favorite SP songs, and may indeed be their most beautiful. I invite you to enjoy it with me as we anticipate the return of a classic 90’s band.

Pluto Part Deux

It seems that Pluto shan’t go down without a fight after all. I was notfied of an article in which Alan Stern, head of NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto, blasted the decision to demote Pluto to “dwarf planet” status. I was also emailed by a group of people who have started similar petitions to mine, and we have decided to pool our efforts on a separate website, PleaseSavePluto.org. I’m going to export the current signatures on my petition to that site, so feel free to check it out and witness the resistance.
We got your back, Pluto…
