To boldly go...toward Friday fun

Here is a chef's salad of treats:  The late, great BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel introduces a segment on Star Trek recording artistes, including some highlights from The Shat's "musical" career (his hammy interpretation of Harry Chapin's "Taxi" will melt your stony little heart), from Leonard Nimoy's more folk-based but no less unmelodic oeuvre, and even from Nichelle Nichols' funky past (hey, she's the one who can actually sing!).  I could spend all day making smart remarks about these clips, and laughing at Peel's wry-and-dry comments, but what's the point?  Watch, enjoy, and remember, no flipping!  This is worth watching through to the end.

Thought for the Weekend

"Don't think that sticking your boobs out and trying to look f--kable will help. Remember, you're in a rock & roll band. It's not f--k me, it's f--k you."--Chrissie Hynde's Advice To Chick Rockers
