Happy belated cent-notary, the martian hop!
I am making you a mixed album of songs about outer space, rockets and celestial bodies in celebration of a long and storied existence. Most, if not all of these songs will be written and performed by others. But they'll mean something special, being compiled by the martian hop staff. Doubtless, there will be something from the Flaming Lips' soundtrack "Christmas on Mars". David Bowie will probably sing about the spiders, but there's a chance the Space Oddity will make the cut too. That wacky old Sun Ra may appear as well. Any suggestions from "Shane" (read: "humanity at large") are more than welcome.

In other news, our writer has withdrawn its two-weeks notice. There will be sovereigns in the coffers for the little Dickens yet. The family will eat.

Time to go spacey.
