This week's episode is probably one of the most varied for Beam Me Up. Episode 123 starts with a new song by John Aneilo called Summer Glau. Doesn't take rocket science to see what this song is based on. The lyrics are in fact a bit of a tongue in cheek homage to Seals and Crofts Summer Breeze however. All in all though,I think you will find this song on par with some of the other works of John's. For stories, Quasar Dragon's Dave "wolfkahn" Tackett will be reading the sci-fi classic Earth-men Bearing Gifts. Dave's first effort for BMU in reading is very entertaining. He gives us a very old school radio ambiance. At the end of the hour Mary Robinette Kowal reads her short story "Evil Robot Monkey' which gives us a look into research from the "subject's point of view. Between the two stories I review the 26th issue of the best science fiction of the year. Yeah I know I am a little behind on this one, but I just realized I did not have a copy until a couple of months ago. A look at the Cassimir Force, trouble aboard the Japanese module of the ISS, and military mind control? That and as they used to say a smidgen more. Enjoy
