All that taconite coming out of the ground in the Mesaba range. <br /><br />You could take Justin Bieber back and drop him off in the middle of the tundra with my blessing and Celine not far behind.

Now that I know folk music doesn't turn you off - have I ever mentioned the Transmissionary Six? They were (mostly) a duo from Seattle, and now play in other projects and bands. The number six is, in case you wonder, not the number of the musicians - it's more likely the band name was taken from a technical drawing, one with at least six transmissionaries. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLcRB3WH4mg" rel="nofollow">Here is a link to a nice video with their music</a>, featuring vintage aviation footage. If you have the time, I recommend you first watch the video with the sound only, and then with the picture on. It's just something I recommend with any song, being a music aficionado myself.<br /><br />Once you have watched the video, please feel free to embark on the journey of gender studies vs. aviation as long as you like based on this Mad Men era type of video - and I strongly believe the Transmissionary Six' singer, Terri Moeller, would actually love to read your comments.<br /><br />Concerning gender issues combined with pop/rock music, we can relax knowing that Terri Moeller not only sings in her small projects, she's also the Walkabouts' drummer, and that's quite something because the cliché goes (and the statistics show) that women in pop/rock are good for singing and looking good on center stage at best. Enjoy the exceptions!<br /><br />@ Cedarglen: Ever seen those city maps for the blind, with a relief of the buildings and streets?zbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-3928068811753852462013-03-08T18:42:17.806+00:002013-03-08T18:42:17.806+00:00Well now...

If there is or once was a Braille edition of Playboy, that's one (probably the ONLY one) claim of "I read it just for the articles..." that I'll believe! If PB also has a tactile version of the center-fold, I guess I do not want to know the details. Thanks for a couple of fun - if silly - posts. -C.
