He does lots of astro-theamed songs and they are really good to listen to at the EP<BR/><BR/>http://www.wusik.com/users/tconrardy/<BR/><BR/>I also listen to lots of podcasts while observing: Astronomycast, Slacker Astronomy, Astronomy A-Go-Go, and The Jodcast being towards the top of the list.<BR/><BR/>-(RE)-RapidEyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10392835409094124181noreply@blogger.com
