"PVA Returns"

The future can never risk bringing about a paradox by speaking to us in words.

After finishing the last post, I used advanced tactics of the 21st century to get a link through to Pleasant Valley Aerospace by means other than their semi-deserted MySpace page. They got my message, but never replied--or, at least, directly. A day or so later, two new songs were up with no explanation anywhere.

The songs were solid, but more importantly, their page had ceased to be a static front for ideas frozen in time. I was pretty stoked about that but didn't think the update actually meant anything. I was wrong. This morning I had been awake for something like nineteen consecutive hours so nothing in the entire world made any sense to me. That sensation amplified ten-fold when I went on Pleasant Valley Aerospace's 'space, and discovered that they had uploaded their entire album "Missing Persons" along with a blog that reiterates their space-age persona just playfully enough to be cool and mysterious without being vulnerable. (I'd like to consider myself at least a small part of their "swift kick in the ass.") I'm not sure if they put up the album as some kind of a fuck-you for a sentiment they didn't like or as a cheerful response to interest, but either way it's real good stuff.

Anyhow, almost all of this information is pretty extraneous. You should go listen to it right now. It'll be a good backdrop for your next hour or so, and even if you don't like it, you'll have something to think about.
