Look, I'm perfectly willing to admit that my music snobbery sometimes leads me down some pretty weird paths. However, this one takes the proverbial cake.
I really, really, really love Wilco's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", right? Well, I'm now completely obsessed with the genesis of that title. It's from a four-disc box set called "The Conet Project." They're these incredibly bizarre and spoooooooky shortwave recordings. This explains it much better than I could.
However, I'm having a hard time justifying about $80 on the set. So, uh, any of my wacked-out readers have access to a copy of this?

I also have something called Auroral Chorus - music of the magnetosphere. recordings of natural VLF radio phenomena. Coincidentally, my current chapter of my nano writing is about a guy who makes these field recordings. watch the skies tonight - not only will the Leonids be in full swing, the Space Lab is "super-nova'ing" - peak reflectivity. You'll be able to see it sail by with the naked eye. You don't have to be naked to see it, but you might like to try anyway.
