In the wild October nighttime

[sovay]

Man, today was both Simchas Torah and the two hundred and sixth anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and I missed it. I should have sunk a ship with a machzor, or something.

Also Ursula K. Le Guin's birthday, which I am grateful for.

Brass Monkey, "Dr Fauster's Tumblers/The Night of Trafalgar/Prince William"

But our gallants all the while after fighting through the day
Were beating up and down the dark sou'west of Cadiz Bay

The Klezmatics, "Simkhes-Toyre"

Afile di shtern mit der levone
Zenen gegangen trinken vayn

Tori Amos, "Black-Dove (January)"

They don't know you've already lived
On the other side of the galaxy

P.S. I don't know if you would call this a bonus, but looking to see if I had any genuine science-fiction songs on my computer:

Eliza Carthy, "Space Girl"

She said that Venus was too hot and Saturn not much fun
And bug-eyed monsters tended to be just a trifle dumb
She said I'd need a blaster and a freezer gun
And I did, I did, I did

That would be an impressive thing indeed. Please just be sure it's a ship that deserves being sunk?

Thanks for the tracks! I'm looking forward to listening.

Well, yes. I am not an indiscriminate siren.

Kind of like not being a tame lion?

(It's another line that belongs in a poem)

I didn't think you were, but it's always good to have confirmation of these things. Thank you.

Enjoy!

I am. Thanks!
