Galaxy News & A Fine Song

It turns out that our galaxy weighs 50% more than was previously thought and is travelling 15% faster than predicted, which all means that in around 5-7 billion years we will crash into the next nearest galaxy – unless the sun has exploded by then.

Many thanks to my pal Noddy for this link to a cracking live HD video of Grow Grow Grow by the excellent Polly Jean Harvey – cute shoes there lassie!

She has quite a haunting voice.

If I wore those shoes, I'd be well over 6 ft. tall. WOW! Those were some shoes.

rt, That was from her album White Chalk which is very different to the rest of her output - and the voice is haunting.
