  1. HERE WE GO! SIDE TWO!

    Skylark Duquesne presents: "The Stars are Ours (Side Two: Star Born)"--the 2nd half of my jumbo-sized, 16-song tribute to #scifi author Andre Norton. If you want epic, multi-part jams, this is your disc!

    Side Two starts with some dual-guitar classic #jamrock that includes a second song! "Exiles of the Stars" is so dramatic, it's borderline #glamrock. But, stick around for "Atlantis Endgame" and see if those exiles can find a home in the waves!

  2. Sorry for talking this up, but I'm so excited that my music is available. Head to #bandcamp for "The Stars are Ours (Side Two: Star Born". Features the epic #jamrock anthem "Exiles of the Stars + Atlantis Endgame", the tear-jerking #acousticpop anthem "Uncharted Stars", the gorgeous #guitarpop #electropop of "Witch World", and the 12:45 #progrock epic, "The Last Planet"

    Like Voyager 2, Side Two launches first.

  3. I don't want to say that P3 is a BAD idea for transit, but it has to be done very carefully. The good examples are rare and the many bad ones usually inspire headlines with words like "forced to resign."

    *sigh* the things we will do instead of taxing Uber...

  4. Random thoughts:
    1) I still love "Southern Harmony..." and "Amorica" by #blackcrowes . Lots of #GenX despair hiding behind their Stones meets Otis Reading sound. Perfect '90s rock.
    2) #VESchwab 's "A Gathering of Shadows" goes on the list of great sequels. Stellar stuff and better than #book 1.
    3) The smart thing would be to work from home on #NFLDraft2026 day, but I want to take the bus downtown just to see how much of a meltdown the city experiences.

    I'm coming to the conclusion that my minimum acceptable position is that all prisoners must be released and everyone who was deported must be returned to the US. "End the crackdown" is not even close.

    (yes, even the violent criminals need to be brought back and face charges.)

    (I knew Stevens)

    Ted was a champion of HAARP, and of investing in tech & science in the North. He thought Fairbanks would be good for data centers, because of the cold (discounting the 90+ summers? 🤷)

  7. 7. This is the epic closer! "The Last Planet" is full-on Boston/Floyd/70s classic rock style #jamrock burner that has five distinct phases and stretches to 12:45! How #prog is it? Did I mention that it has not one but TWO #Mellotron solos?

    Video for part two of this (the only part without a Mellotron) is at: youtu.be/5eZAl46Pvwc?si=yhnkvk

    Also, I did decide after posting the video to name the segments of TLP after Norton books, so Pt.2 is now called "Storms of Victory"

  8. 1. Side Two opens with a #jamrock suite: "Exiles of the Stars" and "Atlantis Endgame". This is some truly epic stuff with lots of guitars.

  9. 8. "Key out of Time"
    Wow, I love this one. #progrock #jamrock #punk and a bunch of Floyd & Janes rolled in there. Be careful messing with #timetravel but it would be a great way to learn about history.

  10. Noting my co-worker's amazing #jamrock band, Working Breed. Really great stuff on their latest record (and, yes, you can get an actual record from them). #rock #music #Pittsburgh workingbreed.bandcamp.com/albu

  11. The PG Editorial Board wants to see more “just work” projects from #pittsburgh Regional #Transit, not “flashy” (but implying that replacing the T trains is a splurge?) so I’ll point at two other meat-and-potatoes transit projects underway or about to start: 1) transit and pedestrian improvements from Homestead to McKeesport will bring rapid service to the Mon Valley that will be the envy of the region (kudos #PennDOT !) 2) a new garage will enable world class zero-emissions bus service.

  12. Interesting use of the #FTA Route Restoration grant to look at #microtransit in #Charlotte. CATS is proposing to replace 3 neighborhood circulators with an app-hailed on-demand service. Public meetings start tomorrow. This is one of the better use cases for the concept. I'm tempted to tune-in! wcnc.com/article/traffic/cats-
