“Black Eye, Yellow Eye,” by Annwn, a filk-rock band that I recently discovered. This song is a description of the lyricist’s journey through the American Southwest and a Native American reservation, told through fantastical imagery. I had no idea this song existed until it was on the brainstorming poll for the Pegasus Awards. I’m so glad I checked it out.
Have you heard the ghosts of stone
Speaking in the dust you raise,
Whispering to you alone
As you thread the maze?
A live action music video, complete with pool noodle tentacles, for Dr. Mary Crowell’s “Coffee With A Friend.” One of her more delightfully absurd renditions.
An aside: I was at the MarCon concert where I believe the tentacles debuted, and it was great fun.
“Omega 13,” a dance number by The Faithful Sidekicks (Eric and Jen Distad), who are made of win. This one is for those who love Galaxy Quest. Which should be everyone. Yes, that was a judgment.
Come on, do it again
Let’s rewind the scene
Put your coat on the hanger
And grab your doppelganger
Let’s do the Omega 13
