The Explorers Club
No. LXXXIX - The Great Heathen Army that conquered northern England in the 9th Century, and the martyrdom of St. Edmund (841-869), King of East Anglia, at the hands of Ivarr the Boneless (?-c. 873).

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Tori Amos, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I believe this is the only Tori Amos song to which I've listened all the way through more than once.
