I was idly perusing some DDR forums when I saw the song list for the next arcade version of Dance Dance Revolution, DDRMAX - and what a list it was. While most of the songs were unrecognisable generic pseudo-Eurobeat pop/dance songs, there were a few that stood far out.

In particular, Scatman (SKI-BA-BOP-BA-DOP-BOP) and a remix of Can't Take My Eyes Off You! I have no idea how they're going to manage the Andy Williams song, but I for one want to give it a try out.

Just finished watching Red Planet as well; not quite as bad as I'd been led to believe from reports from the Mars advocacy community, which like all tightly-knit communities is obsessed with the details. I'll limit my criticism of the film's dubious science to the terraforming expert who claimed that the bases of DNA were A, G, T and P, but let's face it, you're not watching Red Planet for the science so it's not that much of a big deal. I thought it was entertaining enough.

What I'm doing right now: reading The Language Instinct by Steven Pinker, thinking about what I should write about in the New Mars editorial and listening to Iggy Pop (The Passenger).
