For those of you with iTunes or an iPod AND filk music...

Tired of having a blank piece of iPod art come up when you're playing filk music? Be weary no more!

Photobucket

Created by my husband, who HATES having a blank "album art" box. Feel free to take and use as you like, with his permission. Adapted from a 1950's album of crappy science fiction soundtracks.

Remembrances of filksongs past

For those of you who don't know, filk is the folk music of the science fiction and fantasy community. I tend to forget that it exists for years at a time, and then suddenly -- lo and behold! -- I remember that some of it is actually not half bad.

Take the following song, which was written about the space program:

Hope Eyrie

It's by my favorite filk artist of all time, Julia Ecklar, and can still send chills up my spine. See if it does the same for you.

Or this one, also about the space program, which is more lighthearted:

Witnesses Waltz

Hope you enjoy them.
