[fluff] Now Playing, from the Whole Fenspace Catalog
 
#7
General Engineering: Advanced micro-vacuum-tube technology, from a world
where the transistor was not developed until the mid-2060's.

Literature: "How we took Moscow", by Admiral Robert A. Heinlein, Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, and Dr. Issac Asimov; descriptions of now-declassified "black" projects which aided in the campaign on the Eastern Front, after Patton leapfrogged Berlin and blindsided Stalin's forces.
"The Narnia Cookbook": would be mostly unremarkable, excepting for the first chapter; "How to Identify Non-sentient Food Species, Both Animal and Vegetable." By these standards, many humans are non-sentient...
Music: "Jerry is Dead", the breakout album by Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions, written after the death of Paul McCartney. Jerry Garcia spent three months in Jamaica after faking his own death due to burns from highly inflammatory hair gel being set alight by a malfunctioning stage light. His reappearance on stage at the "Farewell Concert" caused the band to change their name, after Garcia thanked the crowd for coming to his wake...
Victor Borge and Jack Benny's highly successful series of classical music recordings, in which the two, backed by the Lindley Armstrong Jones Symphonic Orchestra, play Beethoven, Brahms, and Chopin, ending with a double-LP recording of Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8.
TV: "CSI: Mayberry", starring Andy Griffith and Don Knotts as scientific crime scene investigators. (Crime Drama, 1hr; 8 seasons) Critics agree that the spinoff series, "CSI: Hazzard" was generally inferior, with the exception of the character of Calleigh Duquesne, portrayed to brilliant effect by Jessica Simpson. The theme song by Willie Nelson and Pete Townsend was, however, a critical success. Sadly, only the pilot episode and Season One of the spinoff series were included with the recordings. Rumor has it that there was a second spinoff, "CSI: Dogpatch", starring David Caruso and Gary Sinese, which was so awful that it has been deliberately suppressed.
"The Gilda Radner/Gene Wilder Comedy Hour"; beginning in 1979, the show ran for eleven seasons. Widely regarded as only surpassed by "The Carol Burnett Show" as the funniest variety show ever recorded, this show is regarded as revitalizing the entire prime-time variety show genre. The season six two-hour crossover between the two shows has been credited with saving the lives of dozens of potential suicides since its release. Sadly, Gilda Radner, Gene Wilder, Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks perished together with their pilot, Glenn Miller III, May 20, 1989, in a small-plane crash on their way to accept Lifetime Achievement Awards at the Aspen Comedy Festival, an event referred to by most as "the Day the Laughter Died."
Movies: "Plan 9 from Outer Space", by Franz Kafka. Regarded by many as his crowning masterpiece, surpassing even "Metamorphosis".
"Revenge of the Old Queen": the "true" sequel to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Starring Anthony Stewart Head as the resurrected Dr. Frank. N. Furter; Joan Jett as Columbia, James Marsters as Brad Majors,and Amber Benson as Janet Weiss. Richard O'Brien reprises his role as Riff Raff, the new King of the Transylvanians, Patricia Quinn as his Queen, Magenta, and, in a surprise role, Duane Johnson as Rocky the Second. Cameos by Tim Curry, Peter Hinwood, Barry Bostwick, and co-starring Susan Sarandon as the Criminologist.
