Sometimes when I'm taking a bath I'm thinking, "I wonder if Madonna's taking a bath..?"  Weird huh?

You're a molecular biologist(?) with an astronomy hobby?
 
 And you wonder why the chicks don't flock?

[markie]

no astronomy hobby. I do think meteor showers are pretty cool though. Mostly I just wanted to post the topic to snag in the people who just post celebrity gossip. Maybe they will follow the link and realise there is more to life.
 
 Perhaps I am just a geek.

Heck better to watch meteor showers in the summer than in the winter like I did a few back.  Totally cool  though, but friggin' cold.  Ended up out on the eastern shore where there is less light pollution.

i have always liked science type things. therefore, i boy with a lab coat and a bunsen burner isn't always the WORST thing (that is, unless he's BRITISH!  :p  )

So I'm assuming Anton Newcombe is a soccer player??  (Usually, when I have no damn clue, it's a soccer dude.  Or an alt.country legend.)

Nope,he is the self-professed bastard son of Brian Jones.He is the sole artistic creator of The Brian jonestown Massacre,a neo-psych outfit from the west coast.You can hear everything he's put out on the BJM streaming link.did you see the thread about CT's new one?Here's his take on file sharing etc.:                                                                                              > What were your goals for the band when you formed it

 my only goal was to create the music i wanted to
 hear.i don't think anything has changed.over time we
 set other goals i.e. securing record deals,starting
 the lable,owning the studio,playing in england and
 japan.now it's back to making the best records we can.

 that line up was special because we had matt tow fly
 over from australia to work with us for three
 months.he has so much talent and it was a great leap
 oon his part to trust me.i am thankful i got the
 chance to show him our country and to work on our new
 album with him.we have a new bass player and
 guitarist.their names are tommy and dan.

 the common thread might be a full spectrum of human
 emotion and a melodic back-bone.both of those things
 are in short supply these days.

 i feel as though the people that have been in control
 of the music buisness have done themselves in.they
 lack in direction and in leadership.downloading and
 shareing music help the buisness not harm it.i believe
 they can't wait to find an excuse to introduce a new
 format and make everyone go out and buy their entire
 record collections again.i have place almost all of
 our music on our website for free.this has only
 encreased our popularity,only led to more people
 coming out to our shows and buying our records.

 i just bought a record by a project called "lone
 pigeon".i think it stands out because of the
 imagination involved in the song-craft.i like the fact
 that it is low-fi because technically speaking anyone
 could record just aswell in their bedroom.but very few
 people in the history of mankind have written
 aswell.alot of groups these days are being praised not
 because they are excelent,but rather as a reaction to
 all of the other mindless crap.i think it is so
 wrong.i would rather remain obscure,than to be praised
 for mediocrity.

 we are done with the album.it's called "...and this is
 our music".it is set to be released on october 10th of
 this year.it turned out to be the best record i have
 ever made.i hope people like it.

 all of our albums are quite different but with common
 themes.this one is orchestrated.also i had matt
 tow(lovetones),ed harcourt(english singer/song
 writer),kurt heasley(the lilys)darin radermaker(the
 tyde) all sing on the album.i want to try and get
 people to see my work for what it is.song craft.it's
 not about sideburns,or fist fights,drug use or
 anything.these are just love songs,somber yet
 optimistic.these are songs for all time.

 we are working on the next wave of releases for the
 committee to keep music evil.a band from portland
 called "rick bain and the genious possision".a mod
 band from texas called "the john sparrow",our next
 album called "we are the radio".etc.

 our site and download music for free. <

All winter astronomy should be done from the confines of an outdoor lightless hot tub!Trust me on this one.

Pretty good band. Some of their songs really suck but they have a lot of nice ones that I like too. I especially like that song called Three Chord #1.

I think the John Sparrow record is gonna be a treat as well from what I've heard so far.

I've only heard a song or two of John Sparrow on WTMD but I think I kind of liked his music. I really can't remember.
