We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming soon. In the meantime, enjoy these two bonus episodes from Russ & Blaine. 

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Sergeant Airborne Black Hat Charles L. Moody. Moody allegedly truthfully moved on from Hogwarts or prior to his time at Hogwarts, was a soldier in the army who needed a little me-time. Moody made their way to the desert and what happened next, you'll never be able to guess (unless you've listened to this podcast before). It may or may not have involved a rod. Before you know it, Moody was in the engine room and the science Moody witnessed, does kind of add up. It certainly sounds like Moody may have been experimented upon by some typical grey aliens. But was Moody really visited by aliens in the desert? Or were there other reasons for Moody's missing time? Alongside the main case we also take a brief detour in to the true story of Ham the Astrochimp - the first ape in space (yes, Ham beat humans in to space). All that and more on this week's file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: butitwasaliens@gmail.com Instagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcast Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

Hi guys,Sorry for the delay we had a recording session that was a bad recording and so we had to re-schedule this show to get a good recording. So this past year we lost a famous and pioneer in the tiki world, Harry Yee at the age of 104 years old. Wow, that in itself is an amazing accomplishment. Do you want to grow that old? I'm aiming for 100!!Anyways, on this show we will cover two of Harry's cocktails: Tapa Punch (1959) and Chimp in Orbit (1961), Tapa Punch was the first cocktail to have a parasol incorporated in a drink. The Chimp in Orbit was named after a chimpanzee also known as Ham the Chimp and Ham the Astrochimp, was the first Great Ape launched into space. Both of these drinks will include some Puerto Rician rum and Jamaican.We also get into Harry's life story and where and how he started his journey to the tiki world and some of the accomplishments he made along the way that we know and cherish today.  Here is a sample of some of these facts such as he flew in World War II for the Chinese air force. He also worked for Don the beachcomber and Trader Vic which we know are the pioneers of tiki. He then moved onto the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort is a resort hotel on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii.  There several show including Hawaiian Eye and the movie Blue Hawaii were shot and Harry created drinks for them. He also was approached by Bols to create a nice tropical blue cocktail to go with their new Blue Curacao liqueur. On "Did you know?" segment: we will give you some cools facts about Hawaii like did you know there are no snakes on the plane (ops, I meant island...sorry Samuel)!! There are also no billboards and they are the only state of USA that still honors a king!! and much more.....Links to the show:Recipes from this show: https://tikicentralcanada.ca/recipes-page-2/The YouTube Video for Tapa Punch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMuelHTwFCUAnother YouTube video for Tapa Punch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=278HKOc3dHAChimp In Orbit Cocktail YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md8jpp9xS-Y&t=67s

This week we are joined once again by Stephen Walker and this time to discuss the 60th anniversary of the mission of Enos, the only chimpanzee to have orbited the Earth in space. He also taught us so much about the use of animals in space from the very beginning right up until what is happening now.Stephen Walker released a new book earlier this year called Beyond, about the incredible race to put the first human in space, but his research covered the whole of that early space program and the book opens with accounts of some the dogs who were flown into space by Russia, and so it seemed like a good fit to discuss Enos with him. Stephen previously joined us on episode 49 to talk about Gherman Titov and on episode 32 to talk about that first human spaceflight made by Yuri Gagarin.Stephen Walker (find out more and buy his book): https://www.stephenwalkerbeyond.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/SWalkerBEYONDFull show notes can be found at: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/stp65-the-remarkable-and-tragic-story-of-enos-the-astrochimp-60-years-on-plus-other-space-animals-with-stephen-walkerShow notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guest, plus videos of any launches.Image Credits: NASASpace and Things:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info: https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries: info@andthingsproductions.comSpace and Things is brought to you And Things Productions https://www.andthingsproductions.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/spaceandthings.

Prompted by the Encyclopaedia Britannica ending its print publication, performance poet Rives resurrects a game from his childhood. Speaking at the TEDxSummit in Doha, Rives takes us on a charming tour through random (and less random) bits of human knowledge: from Chimborazo, the farthest point from the center of the Earth, to Ham the Astrochimp, the first chimpanzee in outer space.

El concepto es Teenage Fanclub, y usando ese concepto como excusa, muchas otras canciones y grupos relacionados de alguna manera, más o menos remotamente, con nuestros protagonistas. (Por Rafael Llarena) 1.The Creation – “Try and stop me”: Si nos remontamos en el tiempo para buscar los origenes de todo esto, uno de los grupos en los que merece la pena detenerse son The Creation. Partiendo de la psicodelia, fueron de los primeros grupos en hacer algo parecido a lo que luego fue conocido como power pop. Y uno de los primeros grupos en coger ese legado y convertir el power pop en lo que ahora es, fueron Big Star, de Alex Chilton… 2.Alex Chilton & Teenage Fanclub – “September Gurls”: Aquí tenemos a TFC, con uno de sus héroes, en un concierto en Glasgow en 1996. Big Star nunca alcanzaron el éxito comercial que se merecían y nunca llegaron a las masas. Pero fueron uno de los grupos que en los 70, comenzaron a hacer lo que ahora conocemos como power pop y grupos como TFC, R.E.M. o The Posies (Jon Auer y Ken Stringfellow acompañan a Chilton en la formación actual de Big Star) siempre han reconocido su influencia. Y puede que Gerard, Raymond y Norman los tuvieran en mente al formar Boy Hairdressers… 3.Boy Hairdressers – “Golden Showers”: Aquí empezó todo. Por primera vez, los futuros TFC, se unen para grabar un single. Tres canciones sólo, en las que sientan las bases del pop melódico y las armonías vocales que llevarían hasta la perfección años después. Sólo publicaron este single, que fue editado por en el sello 53rd & 3rd… 4.Ramones – “53rd & 3rd”: tres acordes. El grupo de Queens (NY), no necesitó más para entrar en la historia de la música. Punks, antes de que existiese el punk. Ruido y guitarras mirando hacia atrás para coger lo mejor del rock (The Stooges o MC5) y lo mejor del pop (Phil Spector o The Beach Boys). Se dice que el título de esta canción se refiere a la esquina donde Dee Dee Ramone ejercía de chapero cuando era adolescente. Fue está canción la que dio nombre al sello de Stephen Pastel… 5.The Pastels – “Nothing to be done”: Stephen fue de los agitadores más importantes de la escena de Glasgow, dando oportunidades en su sello y organizando los primeros conciertos de alguna de las bandas más interesantes surgidas de la ciudad escocesa. The Pastels fue un grupo fundamental en el nacimiento del indie pop, de los 80 hasta la actualidad. Pilares del movimiento C-86, al coger el espíritu DIY del punk y adaptarlo al pop. Muchos grupos han seguido la estela del C-86, incluyendo algún paisano de TFC como Trash Can Sinatras. 6.Trash Can Sinatras – “Circling the circumference”: No sé si será el agua, el clima, o algún tipo de virus, pero Glasgow tiene algo especial que hace que salgan de allí grandes grupos un año tras otro. De allí son Lloyd Cole, The Delgados, Camera Obscura, Franz Ferdinand, Orange Juice, The Rezillos, Belle & Sebastian, Snow Patrol, Travis o Bobby Gillespie. Como ya he comentado, Trash Can Sinatras toman las bases del C-86 de grupos como The Pastels y Beat Happening y las pulen para crear perfectas canciones pop como esta. 7.Beat Happening – “Cast a shadow”: Liderados por otro agitador de la escena independiente pero, en este caso, americana: Calvin Jonson. Desde Olympia, en Washington, fundó el sello K records y Internacional Pop Underground, un festival reuniendo a lo mejor de la escena alternativa americana y una serie de 7” de diferentes grupos incluyendo a TFC con sendas versiones de Beat Happening y Big Star. Esta canción ha sido versionada, entre otros, por Adam Green y BMX Bandits… 8. BMX Bandits – “No future”: Tras la separación de Boy Hairdressers, Norman pasó a formar parte durante un tiempo del grupo de Douglas T. Stewart (y ha seguido muy ligado a ellos todos estos años). Esta canción en concreto, compuesta por Norman, fue grabada por TFC como “Tears”. Ambas versiones tienen la misma música, pero las letras cuentan la misma historia desde puntos de vista opuestos. Más tarde, Norman volvió a reunirse con Gerard y Raymond para formar TFC, contando con el bandido Francis McDonald como batería… 9. Nice Man & The Bad Boys – “Forever Is A Long Time Without”: Francis McDonald es Nice Man. Su primer disco en solitario fue una opera pop. En el segundo fichó a los Bad Boys para tocar joyas tan intensas como esta. Ambos discos fueron publicados en su propio sello, Shoeshine Records, dedicado al pop y al country, en el que ha producido y publicado a gente como Alex Chilton, Michael Shelley, Cheeky Monkey o Astrochimp, grupo que formaban él y Eugene Kelly de los Vaselines… 10. The Vaselines – “Son of a gun”: Con sólo un par de singles y un disco, este grupo escocés no esperaban obtener la relevancia que alcanzaron años después de separarse. Este reconocimiento les llegó de rebote y de la mano de Kurt Cobain, que los reivindicó como influencia en varias entrevistas. Nirvana hicieron tres versiones de este grupo, esta y “Molly’s Lips” recopiladas en “Incesticide”, y “Jesus wants me for a sunbeam” en el famoso unplugged de la MTV… 11. Nirvana – “Come as you are”: Poco queda que decir de este grupo. Su disco “Nevermind” fue la cumbre de todo un movimiento musical y el responsable de que la música alternativa de los 90 llegara al gran público. En la gira de presentación del disco por Europa, impresionados por el “Bandwagonesque”, eligieron a TFC como sus teloneros. Y si Nirvana fueron el mejor representante del grunge, para muchos el padrino fue Neil Young… 12. Neil Young – “Like a Hurricane”: Otra de las referencias de TFC, estos le homenajearon en el “Grand prix” en mi canción favorita de los escoceses “Neil Jung”. TFC también incluyeron versiones de Young en sendos singles (“Don’t cry no tears” y “Burned”). Y hablando de versiones, he aquí una de las más curiosa de los escoceses… 13. Teenage Fanclub - “Like a virgin”: Esta version de Madonna es de las más curiosas que han hecho TFC, y han hecho muchas. Publicadas en singles encontramos versiones de clásicos como The Beatles, Credence Clearwater Revival, Lou Reed, Phil Ochs o The Lying Burrito Brothers y contemporáneos como Beat Happening, Yo La Tengo o Sebadoh. 14. Cecilia Ann – “Si no lo ves”: Y si TFC siempre han reconocido claramente sus influencias, otros grupos han reconocido estar influenciados por TFC. En España encontramos grupos como The Happy Losers o Cecilia Ann, que han sabido emular las guitarras y las armonías vocales de los protagonistas de este recopilatorio. 15. Primary 5 - Ex-batería de Teenage Fanclub, Paul Quinn también ha hecho sus pinitos como líder de una banda, Primary 5, que nos ha dejado dos bonitos álbumes de ese pop de melodías y guitarras que tanto nos gusta. 16. Teenage Fanclub – “Don’t look back (acoustic version)”: Y para terminar, esta version de una de las canciones más conocidas de TFC, publicada en el EP “Teenage Fanclub Have Lost It”, que tiene un encanto especial, que la hace incluso más bonita que la original.
