That Made Me Happy!

So I was wandering around the web earlier Saturday, just going where it took me, wound up reading some of the Fluff for Warhammer 40K again. I've discovered a WH40K writer/audiobook reader combination that I'm fascinated by of late (Aaron Dembski-Bowden and Jonathan Keeble and the Black Legion series), so I've been spending a lot of time in the 40K universe recently. Fun to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there... and if I did, I expect it'd be a very short life with a very violent end. That's just the way things are there.

Remember, these are the good guys.

Anyway, after reading more than I really ever wanted to know about the Necrons ("We're gonna need a bigger can opener..."), I somehow found myself reading about spaceflight, which took me to yootoob for some fun times watching booster-cam footage. While doing that, I realized I had never seen good footage of a real "Korolev's Cross", just KSP-based versions. So I went looking, and discovered something I didn't know existed.

As it turns out, Korolev is the B-side of a remix disc of Sputnik by Public Service Broadcasting. Clearly it belongs on their album "The Race For Space", but it's not on mine.

What a great thing to discover on a day off: a new PSB song!

1 Aw man, previously-unreleased B-sides are my... well, not bread-and-butter maybe. But some kind of food staple. Sticky rice? Sure, we'll go with that.
Thus does the Sputnik single go on my wishlist!
