In case people don't feel like clicking through links:

Jupiter is named after the Roman god and many of its moons (discovered since the early 1600's by Galileo and Marius) have taken the names of his mistresses.

According to the mythology, Jupiter would use clouds to shroud his affairs in secrecy from his wife, Juno, but she was able to peer through them.

So, essentially, this was a really nerdy naming joke by scientists that has been in the works for 400 years.

As a former medical researcher, I can't fathom my labs running with such blatant falsification. I worked for one of the leading hospitals in the world and they were very serious regarding the "see it, say it" principle and reporting and questioning any act of being told to falsify data.

For your employer to be so open about that kind of work is disgusting. I'm glad you stood up when you could because the big picture is that their false work carries with it negative implications for the larger population. You've helped many people by putting a stop to this.

So many of your songs were the soundtrack to my emerging into adult life. Chicken-Bone Circuit, Bus Stop Bitties, Work were always in the background and I had the pleasure to see you do your craft at a free park show in Austin back in 2006.

My question is that I've seen more interest in cassette tapes that I figure is linked to the rise in popularity of vinyl. From a DJ perspective, what's the value of cassette? I don't really get it and I feel like it's just piggy-backing on vinyl's resurgence. Any insight?

Note to self: Steal art from the Getty Museum.

Hey Chandler,

No question, just a quick story:

I saw you at Piola in Midtown one night after the end of last season. You were walking out before I realized who you were. Just thought you'd like to know there was a couple sitting behind you debating if you were Chandler Parsons and they got into an argument because she wouldn't let her boyfriend say "hello" despite the fact that he was 100% confident it was you.
