Okay, okay—I know I shared “The Rings of Saturn” last Tuesday. However, I went out that Tuesday night to open mic night, and—with all humility—I knocked it out of the park. As such, I had to share footage of this live performance.

Lazy Sunday CCVI: Intergalactic Nonsense
I’ve been writing (and singing!) a lot about space lately. My interest in the topic is steadfast, though the highlighting of it here on the blog ebbs and flows. I also will hasten to add that I’m not much for the technical details of space exploration and colonization, and I suspect that many of our scientific observations about space are, at best, educated guesses. Rather, I adore the idea of humanity stretching its fragile fingers into the firmament.
This recent focus also coincides with the re-release of several of my old instrumental albums into the digital space. To save a few bucks (“quid” to my English readers), I released Electrock Music (2006) and Electrock II: Space Rock (2007) into a digital double LP (twelve tracks each, twenty-four tracks total):
Start with “Launch” to begin a musicologist’s tour throughout our Solar System.
To take an abbreviated tour of our Solar System—with a major emphasis on Saturn—keep reading:
- “Phone it in Friday XXXVIII: The Rings of Saturn” – This post examines the extremely slow disappearance of Saturn’s iconic rings.
- “Open Mic Adventures XXXV: ‘The Rings of Saturn’” – A little at-home rendition of my song, “The Rings of Saturn,” which I’ve never managed to get recorded.
- “Touring the Solar System in Rural Maine” (and “TBT: Touring the Solar System in Rural Maine“) – An old post, but one of my favorites, about the The Maine Solar System Model.
Happy Sunday!

TBT: Touring the Solar System in Rural Maine
I’ve been on an outer space kick lately, especially with all my posts about Saturn. As such, it seemed like an excellent opportunity to look back at this little post from 2019—one of my favorites!
Surprisingly, I’d never bothered to reblog this one in the nearly four years since it was first published. It’s about a model Solar System in the State of Maine, The Maine Solar System Model (the website for which has gotten a facelift since 2019). It’s been on my traveling “to do list” ever since I learned about it on Quora.
With that, here is 24 September 2019’s “Touring the Solar System in Rural Maine“:
Phone it in Friday XXXVIII: The Rings of Saturn
Saturn is my favorite planet (after Earth, of course). Who can resist those beautiful rings, and the clear demarcation of the Cassini Division? There’s also something otherworldly and mysterious about it. Just listen to the opening bars of “Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age” from Gustav Holst’s The Planets:
Years ago I wrote a song, “The Rings of Saturn,” which has never enjoyed a formal recording. That’s a shame, because it is one of my better songs (I write with all humility). It will have to grace an edition of Open Mic Adventures soon. The header image for my Bandcamp page is the a picture of the planet.
Needless to say, I like Saturn a lot. I sometimes image what it would be like living on one of its moons, or if we’ll someday have mining colonies on the larger bits of icy space-stuff in its rings.
Well, it seems those beautiful rings are disappearing. Fortunately, as with all things astronomical, none of us will be around to see them disappear entirely.
TBT^2: SimEarth
The school year is grinding down at an agonizingly slow pace, which means my mind increasingly is turning away from serious matters and towards video games.
As a grown man with too many responsibilities and not enough time, I don’t indulge in video games much anymore. I’ve always been more of a casual gamer in the sense that I play in short spurts for fun of it, not necessarily “beating” (finishing) a game, but enjoying playing with its mechanics or discovering some bit of its story. I play games that would be considered “serious” among gamers, but I don’t do so with the intensity of those more committed gamers.
Increasingly, though, my gaming habits have turned towards more casual games—puzzle games and the like. I don’t do a ton of gaming on my phone, but there are a few that I enjoy.
One of those is TerraGenesis, a game in which you take on the terraforming of a planet. The game starts you with Mars, and by the time you read this post, I should have completed my first successful terraforming of the red planet. The game draws heavily from the style of the board game Terraforming Mars, which is one of my favorites in the “make-this-planet-habitable-for-humans” genre.
Playing that got me thinking about the granddaddy of all terraforming games, SimEarth. I wrote a loving tribute to this DOS classic a few years ago, and it seemed like a good time to give it another look.
With that, here is “TBT: SimEarth“:
Midweek Myers Movie Review: Hidden Figures (2016)
We’re back with another movie review from Audre Myers, who is tossing in reviews of her favorite flicks whenever the mood strikes (or whenever I e-mail her asking her to contribute something).
She offers up her review of the 2016 film Hidden Figures, about three black women “computers” working for NASA. It was a darling of the critics for its frank depiction of segregation.
Unfortunately, some its iconic scenes—like the lady having to walk half-a-mile to use a segregated bathroom—are Hollywood hogwash. The segregated facilities were abolished in 1958—three years before the films setting—and while there were segregated restrooms in one part of NASA’s facilities prior to that year, they were unlabeled. Katherine Johnson, one of the titular “hidden figures,” unwittingly used the whites only bathroom for years, and ignored the one complaint that was ever issued without any further escalation.
These inaccuracies—perhaps dramatic artistic license?—don’t mean segregation wasn’t real—it certainly was—but it seems that NASA was not exactly the hotbed of segregationist sentiment that the film depicts. That makes sense—an organization reaching for the stars probably isn’t all that concerned about such earthbound issues as skin pigmentation. Besides, there are plenty of alien species we can discriminate against in the distant future.
With that, here is Audre Myers’s review of 2016’s Hidden Figures:
Monday Morning Movie Review: Lifeforce (1985)
I’m a big sucker—pun most certainly intended—for vampire movies. I’ve always enjoyed the vampire mythos, and find them to be terrifyingly fascinating villains (or anti-heroes). The concept of immortality in a fallen, ever-changing world is itself a haunting prospect, one filled both with opportunity and, ultimately, hopelessness.
I also love science-fiction movies, notably those that take place in space. The sense of boundless adventure and the thrill of exploration combine with high-tech gobbledygook to make for some fun stories. Sci-fi, like horror, also has the ability to be among the best social commentary put to paper.
With 1985’s Lifeforce, those two genres are combined in a pleasing, memorable way. Indeed, the film is based on a novel called The Space Vampires, which gives the game away on the front cover. The vampires of the film and the novel are energy vampires, sucking the lifeforce from their victims, luring them in by shapeshifting into the guise of what the human victim most desires in a mate. In doing so, they turn their victims in ravenous husks who must feed on the energy of others to survive. If they don’t, they explode into a puff of dust and ash.
TBT: Music Among the Stars
It’s been a musical week here at The Portly Politico, so I figured, “why stop now?”
I’ve dedicated more and more space on the blog to musical and cultural matters, especially in the last year. Among the posts I most enjoy writing—and of which I am most proud—are those I write about music.
This week’s TBT feature, “Music Among the Stars,” is one I really enjoy, and I think (humbly) it’s one of my better posts. It’s about the golden records aboard the Voyager I space probe, and about the true purpose of music—to worship God.
I’ll let the essay speak for itself. Here is 8 September 2021’s “Music Among the Stars“:
Monday Morning Movie Review: Aniara (2018)
What happens when a luxury transport ship on a routine voyage to Mars is thrown off course, set adrift on an endless voyage across the cosmos? That’s the premise behind 2018’s Aniara, based on the 1956 Swedish epic poem of the same name.
The answer, ultimately, is quite bleak. Aniara fits fully into the nihilistic ennui that Scandinavians—materially prosperous but spiritually adrift—relish so stoically. Seriously, the Swedes seemed obsessed with existential crises and a sense of meaningless in life. At its best, that gives us the likes of Danish Christian existentialist philosopher Søren Kierkegaard; at its worst, it creates the kind of mindless pleasure-seeking the passengers of the film’s title ship indulge in here.
For all the film’s depressing messaging about the futility of life (to be fair, being trapped on an endless voyage in space, eating only algae to survive, would be a fairly depressing and psychologically destructive experience), it’s a fascinating look into how a society might develop, survive, and perish in the depths of outer space.
Lazy Sunday XCIV: My Favorite Things
Today is the 99th edition of Lazy Sunday; it is also my birthday. I’m getting to that age where my birthday is still enjoyable, but also serves as a reminder that I’m on the wrong side of my thirties, slipping towards forty ever-faster.
It’s also that point in my life that I’m becoming more aware of my own mortality. Youthfulness compensated for poor dietary choices and succulent overeating in fifteen years ago; now, I’m feeling more and more the ravages of delicious indiscretions. I also find I don’t sleep as well (usually) as I once did, and I will ache in places that never bothered me before.
That said, I’m still fairly spry, and while my on-stage antics might not be nearly as acrobatic as they were in my twenties, I still manage to huff and puff my way around a stage—and onto coffee tables, if need be. Anything to entertain the crowd.
With that, I thought I’d celebrate Lazy Sunday and my birthday with some of my personal favorite posts:
- “Happy Halloween!” (and “TBT: Happy Halloween!“) – Boy, I sure do love Halloween. That’s why I dedicated a whole front-porch concert to it. It’s a fun, mirthful holiday, and I love the costumes, the candy, and the camaraderie. The ghosts and Jack O’Lanterns are fun, too.
- “On Ghost Stories” (and “TBT: On Ghost Stories“) – Not surprisingly, I also love ghost stories. Indeed, the expiring Christmas season was, for the Victorians, a prime time for ghostly tales. The ancient bonds of memory and tradition that flow through Christmas make it the perfect time to contemplate our heritage—and the ghosts that haunt it.
- “Touring the Solar System in Rural Maine” – This post combines several of my favorite things: education; space exploration; and rural America. The good people of Maine built The Maine Solar System Model from 1998-2003, and visitors can now cruise the scale replica along a ninety-five-mile stretch of highway. It’s a trip I hope to take myself some day.
- “SubscribeStar Saturday: The Lost Art of Letter Writing” and “Update on Letter Writing” – I’ve discovered a new hobby, letter writing, and I’m hoping to do some small part to revive the practice. To date I’ve written around twenty-five or -six letters over the past three weeks—including one to a dog!—and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m planning on writing many more in 2021, and hope you, too, will join in on the fun and write letters to your friends and loved ones (or request one from me!).
That’s it for this birthday Sunday. If you’d like to celebrate with me, considering giving yourself the gift of subscribing to my SubscribeStar page for $1 a month or more.
Regardless, Happy Sunday!
