Full Moon Fever
In anticipation of the next full moon this weekend, and the release of the double-cd version of REM's greatest hits package "In Time" (which has a full moon on the cover and features the track "Man in the Moon"), today's post has a lunar theme. There also happens to be a total eclipse of the moon this weekend. 1. SPACE.com: Full Moon Fever < http://www.space.com/fullmoonfever/ > "Headquarters for eclipses, news and lunar lore" 2.
