Tripping Around The Universe

[katefans@chinet.chi.il.us (Chris n Vickie)]

Vickie here. 

I thought I was Jon Drukman, but it was just a combination of drugs and 
weird dreams, so I didn't say:
> I am not john@tessi.UUCP (John Zimmer).  I didn't say:
>> sampler of alternative-female-vocal music.  Anyway, the host/DJ played
>> "Rocket Man" and "Rocket's Tail" back to back -- seems obvious in
>> hindsight.  As I listened, I found myself thinking, "This kinda works, an
>> album or EP like this would be fun."  I just can't think of any other 
>> songs to go on it!

> "I Wanna Drive My Rocket Up Uranus" -- Alien Sex Fiend
> "Close Your Eyes, You Could Be A Space Captain" -- The Legendary Pink Dots

Here's a list that uses the idea of wanting to leave the earth and go
traipsing around the universe.
