Lisa Knapp - Searching for Lambs (2017) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPwi... Achingly beautiful trad song from Somerset, meltingly sung here with Graham Coxon.

While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget. NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy... The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%. NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #Musicsky Day 23: Mozart - Piano Concerto No 23 in A major (I: Allegro) www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDUy... I’ve loved this for 40 years. Eleven minutes of continuous, gentle & inspired melody. And this is a special recording, too.

“The Moon… is a real place. And when… we compare it to our home of Earth, it just reminds us how much we have in common. Everything we need, Earth provides. And that is somewhat of a miracle, & one that you can’t truly know until you’ve had the perspective of the other.” ~ Christina Koch #EarthDay

Wait for it to focus... Sound up... Earthset, recorded by Reid Wiseman during the Artemis II lunar flyby. The initial imperfect composition, and the phone hunting for focus makes this so much more human and familiar. A celestial scene witnessed by only 28 of us in history...more

Lisa Knapp - ‘Till April is Dead (2017) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe-W... Hal-an-tow, jolly rumble O For we were up, soon as any day O Welcome to the summer, welcome to the May O Summer is come, and winter is a-gone O Hal-an-tow Hal-an-tow #Musicsky

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #Musicsky Day 22: Van Morrison - On Hyndford Street (1991) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbFE... Just a synth (played by Derek Bell, from The Chieftains), & towards the end, a reflective guitar… Can you feel the silence?

Snort laugh everytime. 😜🖖🏽💚 #LowerDecks #Tpol

This rather creepy photo is Artemis II’s heat shield underwater, as taken by the U.S. Navy. This is the first photo we have of the heat shield, and upon initial examination it doesn’t seem to have the char loss that Artemis I’s had.

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #Musicsky Day 21: Joni Mitchell - My Old Man (1971) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zREp... Like everything else about this song, with its startling tune & hair-raising modulations, Joni’s piano playing is wonderfully alive - both utterly natural & instantly recognisable as her!

Katie Mack has such a wonderful way of explaining the most mind-stretching possibilities, & having read her book several years ago it was a joy to hear her talk about the end of everything with Mike Wong. And also a #StarTrekDS9 episode I’ve always been fond of! 🖖🏼😊

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #Musicsky Day 20: Natalie Merchant - The Sleepy Giant (2010) www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8cl... The combined harpsichord & baroque guitar play a spooky little dance to Merchant’s setting of a children’s poem by Charles E Carryl. “Little boys do not like being chewed…”

Out for my evening walk just now, & my first sighting of Venus this year. And the first time I’ve seen the Moon since humans have been back there again. www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

Addendum: This cat is definitely judging your time management skills. 🤨 -E #Caturday

I think it’s personal preference. I live with a surface noise called tinnitus, & I’d prefer not to have it. And just as I wouldn’t listen to the Beatles’ Blackbird in the middle of Oxford Street, I’d prefer to be able to hear the awe-inspiring start of Beethoven’s Ninth without extra distraction. 🎶✨

Late #Caturday posting! 🐈

We need more baby goats 🐐 ♥️

Maybe I can think of a couple, if I try *really* hard

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #Musicsky Day 19: Peter Maxwell Davies - Yesnaby Ground (1980) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr5P... A catchy solo piano piece with a folky rhythm inspired by his beloved Orkney islands, & with a moving tinge of wistfulness.

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #Musicsky Day 18: Rickie Lee Jones - Living it Up (1981) www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaHj... That lovely swinging piano tune could almost be Laura Nyro, yet the song as a whole is quintessential RLJ.

There’s only one person who can get Bluesky working again:

The Tub (1886), by Edgar Degas

From the crew as found family to the overview effect, this avoids any nationalistic framing, focuses on the personal & (to some extent) technical, & at times is very touching. What a wonderful crew! #ArtemisII 🚀🌒✨ www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...
