I try to keep my life as uncomplicated as possible, but occasionally I find myself riding a gamma ray laser to the heart of a distant neutron star on a mission of inescapable importance, my head pounding as my relative mass brushes up against infinity. Even though I’m traveling at 99.9999999999% the speed of light, my target is so remote that my custom soundtrack mix CD will loop itself, twice.
Only for you, wife. Only for you.
Class Action – Blast Off (from Tribute to Flexipop, Vol. 7) – More excellent and rare 80’s synthpop culled from the wonderful Flexipop library of bootleg compilations.
Girlschool – C’mon Let’s Go (from Hit & Run, 1981) – My wife, a woman who (rightfully) responds to my residual affection for heavy metal with much eyerolling, is rather fond of Girlschool. I’m not sure if that’s due to a sense of gender solidarity, or because of the MST3K connection (this track was on the Zombie Nightmare soundtrack), or because the band largely avoids the ridiculous genre clichés of their all-male counterparts.
The Pillows – Ride on Shooting Star (from Fooly Cooly OST 1: Addict, 2004) – Has anyone else noticed how much Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. cribbed from FLCL? Consider it noted and remarked upon, then. The lack over overlap between anime/manga fans and superhero fandom works in some writers’ favor.

Wo! That must mean it has been 25 years since I saw Girlschool rip Vancouver a new one.
