This week, we're taking time away from our busy adventures for a musical interlude. Yes, you heard that right. The Moxie Pod on Webisode Wednesday will be all about the boys in the band Five Year Mission! Oh, and did I neglect to tell you that I, Moxie, that I am a classically trained cycletar player. It's almost a lost art in the 23rd century which is why people love to hear me play! Yes, I know what you're thinking. How could so much talent be combined with so much beauty? And I don't know how to answer that. All I know is that it doesn't happen often.
Now here's Mr. Spock picking up on what I was throwing down, you dig?
We do have a number of musically talented crew members. Spock plays the Vulcan lyre and Uhura sings and Kirk talks a song better than just about anyone! Just last week, we were throwing down a groove in Rec Room 6. (Remember the picture of me sitting there bored? Well, that was just part of the story!)
As I mentioned our captain can talk a song like no one else (excluding, of course, Pearl Bailey). And here's just a little sample:
Now, don't forget to tune in on Webisode Wednesday for The Moxie Pod and I'll tell you all you want to know about my friends in FIVE YEAR MISSION!
Here's a repost from the old blog about my favorite fellows: Five Year Mission. You can use their video, "The Man Trap" (below) to get ready for my webisode of the same name coming this Wednesday at 7 pm EST.
I've recently discovered Five Year Mission. Not the five year mission that I'm on, but something that was called a "tribute band" back in the 21st century. This band somehow got hold of the historical records of our adventures on the Enterprise and has decided to make a song of each "episode". How clever! I don't exactly know why they are called a "tribute band" but I hope it has to do with lavishing gifts on those you sing of (or technically for me, on those close to those you sing of). They are, of course, all clean cut young men with Starfleet regulation hair (Yes, yes, I know, those are very wide standards).

Now, I have to be very careful in listening to their music. You see, because they come from the past and have somehow extracted information about our future aboard the Enterprise, I have to make sure that I'm only listening to songs about OUR past from before the point in time when I'm listening. Confusing? Well, you see, if I accidentally listen to a song about an adventure that we haven't had yet from my point of view, then I could accidentally change our timeline. If I understand correctly, then that could have some weird timeline effects, like wiping out the eugenics wars of the 1990's or making Spock's mother Mina Harker, or, god forbid, RED MATTER! Is that how it works? Theoretically, I could even become my own grandmother. (Gasp! What fine genetic stock I would make!) Anyhoo, I really like their music. Buy their songs. Seriously. Now, I don't get any money from this and what would I do with it anyway, seeing as we don't use money in the future. So buy it now. NOW. You can do it right over your interwebs.
Here's a link for a video for one of their songs. In fact, this is the one called "The Man Trap", just like my webisode!
Stay tuned in the weeks to come for more info about the band!
