Birthday Come Early

Sweet merciful glaven on a stick, do you people know what I found out last night? Every nerd's dream has finally come true: you can watch every episode of the classic Star Trek on the CBS website. Every episode. I think I'm about to go into anaphylactic shock.

Today's satellite image is Oran/Wahran/وهران, Algeria. Why? Because your videos for today, other than Star Trek, are both from Rachid Taha, an Algerian-French rai rocker from Oran. This first video is a live performance of one of my favorite songs, "Barra Barra," which was featured in the 2001 film Black Hawk Down.



The second video, also of Rachid Taha, is an Arabic cover of the classic song by the Clash, "Rock the Casbah."



Have a great day at work, folks!
