BMU #343 Call Me Joe pt5 -Poul Anderson - In Plain Sight ep15 - Jason Kahn

Wow, what a confusing day at the podcast.  This will give you a hint...I had to totally remix i twice when I got to my own home recorder.  But anyway - I open with some Christmas music.  I play "I want the Mellium Falcon for Christmas by John Anealio of Scifisongs.blogspot.com.

My first article asks what laws of robotics should robots use.  I use a slightly offbeat answer buy asking what laws?!

Next is the first story of the afternoon.  Poul Anderson's "Call Me Joe" pt5.

Earth Sky had some really good articles this week, from giant stars to galactic collisions.  

Followed by Star Trek Trivia

I start the blog with my review of The Amazing Spider Man and my review is a bit less than stellar.  From there there are articles about what NASA has in store after the Curiosity rover,   I think all were a bit disappointed with the release of Curiosity's SAM lab data, which is certainly not for the history books.  Wanna go to the moon?  well if you have a spare 1.5 billion you can according to start up Golden Spike.  and a Darwin should have been.

Finally In Plain Sight ep16 by Jason Kahn is our closing story of the afternoon!

Enjoy episode 343 of Beam Me Up

Summer Glau (Makes Me Feel Fine)

John Anealio nails down another great Sci-fi inspired tune called Summer Glau. The name alone should perk you right up, but the inside scoop on this neat tune is even better. First off you know Summer from her appearances on Serenity and The Sarah Connors Chronicles. Well a few months back, John DeNardo of SF Signal composed lyrics to "Summer Glau (Makes Me Feel Fine) as he put it: mostly as a way of destroying the association between her name and the Seals and Crofts song, "Summer Breeze". Along comes John Anealio, musician and proprietor of Sci Fi Songs, a website where John collects his recordings inspired by the works of speculative fiction. John has taken my Summer Glau lyrics and set them to an original tune of his own."

So here is John Anealio's "Summer Glau"
