Muhsinah put me onto Clare and The Reasons (Oliver!) the other night by sending me this video. Now I’m hooked. The sliding! This song is about Pluto! I say hunt down their albums Arrow and The Movie if you like this.
There’s a version of this song in French on the album The Movie as well. You can see them perform this live after the jump.
I miss when white people used to sing like this haha. All downhill when they started trying to sing like “us”.
That was a joke. Calm down.
Meh, this is pretty good, not usually into this kind of stuff but it completely sets a mood.
Meh, not really into it but this song I provided the link for is pretty damn good, not usually into this kind of stuff but it completely sets a mood.
man, eff yall. this is dope!
I’m diggin’ this song and clare and the reasons, it’s such a dope groove…
This is a beautiful song, and it is appropriate to note that Pluto IS still a planet. Only four percent of the IAU voted on the controversial demotion, and most are not planetary scientists. Their decision was immediately opposed in a formal petition by hundreds of professional astronomers led by Dr. Alan Stern, Principal Investigator of NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto. Stern and like-minded scientists favor a broader planet definition that includes any non-self-luminous spheroidal body in orbit around a star. The spherical part is important because objects become spherical when they attain a state known as hydrostatic equilibrium, meaning they are large enough for their own gravity to pull them into a round shape. This is a characteristic of planets and not of shapeless asteroids and Kuiper Belt Objects. Pluto meets this criterion and is therefore a planet. Under this definition, our solar system has 13 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.
Laurel: you are awesome! thanks for your post/comment/planetary schooling session!
