Haven't done a music post in a while. Lotta new music to cover, and I'm angry at how stupid people are, so great combo!

Trippy Tuesday Music
- The Trip Out, by Crystal Method: Music videos for this album are really good, if you like flashing lights and Xscreensavers/iTunes visualizers with fight scenes (and who doesn't?)
Overthinking Will Kill Your Reality
Oh thank Cthulhu there's a way out. Just gotta think real hard.
- Community, by Diskette Park
- New/End, by X Marks the Pedwalk: I'm often meh on their old material, but maybe current albums need more listens.
- Future Past, by Duran Duran: Yeah, every new album is still "are they really?" And it's just kinda meh new wave rock, but nostalgia's a hell of a drug.
Alastair Reynolds Notes on Revenger
And now Reynolds has some photos of his journals developing Revenger, especially interesting for the speeds of the ships & worldlets, layouts of baubles, illustrations of Clackers and Skulls (I had pictured more of a dragon skull, this is more whale-like). The illustrations of the ships as fish is bizarre; I had pictured more like sailing ships but rounded, no top deck.
