Robot Week!



The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
The Phenomenauts, "I Am Robot" from Re-Entry (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Welcome to Robot Week, a hastily devised (we've beginning on a Thursday, for Pete's sake!) celebration of robots, or at least songs about robots. Why? Because robots are super cool, that's why.

The Phenomenauts describe their particular brand of retro futurism as "rocket roll," & Isaac Asimov's ghost!, do they know how to stick to a theme!

"(He is a robot!)
I write your songs!
(He is a robot!)
My mother's
Pong!…

"(In return all he needs
Is protons, electrons,)
And oil for my gears!

"(He is a robot!)
I do your chores,
I am robot,
Hear me roar!…"
