Captain’s Log: Star Trek Music Review – FIVE YEAR MISSION
It isn’t every day you think to yourself “There should definitely be more music based on Star Trek.” And it isn’t every two days after that that a friend says “Hey look, here’s a band that’s doing a song for every episode of The Original Series.” And it isn’t every three months later you still haven’t listened to anything else since you downloaded said band’s albums. You with me? This may be less of a “review” than a gushy recommendation or whole hearted endorsement.
Five Year Mission is five guys that thought The Original Series “rocks so hard” that every episode deserves it’s own tribute song. I tend to agree, but as a full blown music snob, I must admit I was skeptical. Or, at least I figured it would just be the kind of thing you hear once and enjoy a laugh because you get the Trek references. Then you move along, scurrying on back to your obscure post-punk bands no one’s ever heard of. But I soon figured out these guys are much more than just a couple of geeks with a Casio and a Macbook.
The first 5YM song I heard was “The Naked Time” from their first album, Year One. I dare say it’s more than just a cute song about Mister Spock losing his Vulcan cool, but a brilliant pop song, and perhaps… TO READ THE REST, GO TO: Everything Is Star Trek And Nothing Hurts.
Here is the final video from YEAR ONE. Where No Man Has Gone Before…
Why, just the other day I was asking myself: “Moxie, how can you gain the love and devotion of all those folks on the 21st century interwebs.” My first thought was to try and put a unicorn in every 21st century home but that just seemed too ambitious (and I couldn’t breed unicorns fast enough). Instead I came up with the idea of having my very own little caption contest! Let me tell you about the little prizes I’m giving away!

| Five Year Mission’s Debut CD, Year One |
I’m giving away Five Year Mission’s debut CD, Year One!! (Read about the band here: Wired.com and on their own website: Five Year Mission) Now, If you’ve read my little blog then it’s no secret that I’m their biggest (haired) fan! Their music is so fun and fabulous that we still listen to it here in the future. The tunes are so catchy that they’ll bore into your ear like a Ceti eel larva (but don’t worry; Their songs don’t cause madness and eventual death.) Their first CD is called Year One and you can listen to their music and watch their videos HERE. (Their new CD, cleverly titled Year Two, is coming out in December so you’ll want to win this one right away! You can pre-order Year Two HERE.) In addition to the CD I also have some stickers from the band that I’ll be giving away.

| Poor homeless tribbles |
I’m also giving away a couple of homeless tribbles (If I don’t find homes for them soon they are going to have to be put down or beamed onto the nearest Klingon war bird.) Don’t worry these tribbles have been spade, neutered, and sterilized through irradiation in accordance with UFP law. They are accompanied by all the forms required for Federation transport and they have been vaccinated against Andorian exploding rabies.
Prizes will be awarded as follows:
First Prize: Five Year Mission’s Year One CD, stickers, and one fuzzy tribble.
Second Prize: Five Year Mission’s Year One CD, and one fuzzy tribble.
Third Prize: One lousy tribble.
And here’s how to enter:
The contest will run from October 10, 2011 to Sunday, Novemeber 6, 2011 at 11:00 pm EST. Any entries made after that time will not be elligable for prizes. Winners will be contacted by me, Moxie Magnus, through facebook. Winners will be announced on November 11, 2011.
The video for Mudd’s Women is here! Enjoy!
