Science Fiction Music
Some songs and music videos have a definite Science Fiction theme to them. The obvious ones are from SF movies and TV shows. But there are other songs that will pop up from time to time.
Mr. Spaceman - The Byrds
From the sixties. Another way to take a trip: hitch a ride with a spaceman!
Come Sail Away - Styx
Styx had a similar idea in the Seventies.
Mr Roboto - Styx
In Science Fiction, it's always nice to have a few robots.
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips
Of course, in Science Fiction, you end up having to fight those evil robots.
If you want to hear more from The Flaming Lips, go to: www.wbr.com
‘39 - Queen
I love this song. It deals with the time dilation between people on Earth and people on a space ship traveling close to the speed of light. Time on the spaceship would slow down compared to time on Earth.
The sad reunion of the spaceman and his wife, who is much older than him now.
Queen & George Michael perform the song at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert: www.dailymotion.com
Flash Gordon - Queen
Queen also sang the title song for the 1980 movie Flash Gordon.
Radio Ga-Ga - Queen
A third Queen song. This video has scenes from the 1927 film Metropolis. Some lost scenes to the film have been discovered, and are planned to be restored. It would be cool to see the movie in its entirety.
You Got Lucky - Tom Petty
Not a SF song, but a video about a future like the Mad Max movies.
She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby
Mad Scientist: another good SF theme.
Venus and Mars - Paul McCartney & Wings
Venus and Mars are alright tonight.
Paul McCartney & Wings - Venus and Mars / Spirits of Ancient Egypt Uploaded by oliwiajackie
Threshold - The Steve Miller Band
This song has always sounded a little creepy to me. A UFO is searching for you, its searchlights scanning the area. Will they catch you?

Mr. Spaceman - The Byrds
From the sixties. Another way to take a trip: hitch a ride with a spaceman!
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride.
Come Sail Away - Styx
Styx had a similar idea in the Seventies.
I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies.
Mr Roboto - Styx
In Science Fiction, it's always nice to have a few robots.
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips

I love this song. It deals with the time dilation between people on Earth and people on a space ship traveling close to the speed of light. Time on the spaceship would slow down compared to time on Earth.
Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
The sad reunion of the spaceman and his wife, who is much older than him now.
Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life, still ahead, pity me.
Queen & George Michael perform the song at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert: www.dailymotion.com

Primer
Primer (2004) is a 2004 independent film. It has no special effects, per se, but the plot does not require them. It's a Science Fiction movie about inventors discovering Time Travel, and what they do with it.
I found it a little hard to follow, so you might look it up on wikipedia to help understand it.

No Meetings Today; It's Too Nice Out
There once was a woman named Penny
Who cancelled meetings aplenty.
Other meetings was her plan,
But she got such a nice tan,
She could not have attended too many!

VHS Tape Storage Drive
Not very useful, but kind of fun to watch in action.
From: abbtech
From: abbtech
There is lots of technology that gets replaced and finds itself with no place to go other than the landfill. This is my effort to keep at least one VHS tape out of the landfill by making a strange project with it.

Happy Day
Spring is here, and brings the sun,
Time to have a little fun.
Jump in the grass, smile and wave,
And enjoy your happy day!
It may rain, but that is fine,
Summer will come just in time.

Why would you play a board game as a video game? Well, at least you don’t have to put all the pieces away when you’re done!
