“Transmissions From Uranus” by Man or Astro-Man (1995)

—sound clip—from It Conquered the World ( 1956 )

Lee Van Cleef: – There, do you have any idea what your listening to?
Peter Graves: – London Philharmonic?
Lee Van Cleef: – It’s Venus.
Peter Graves: – Huh?
Lee Van Cleef: – Venus.
Peter Graves: – Why not? We’ve bounced signals off the Moon surface, there’s no reason that Venus shouldn’t radiate impulses.
Lee Van Cleef: – No, I don’t mean the static. Can’t you hear it; the other thing?
Peter Graves: – What other thing?
Lee Van Cleef: – Listen to it, Paul. Listen to the voice.

Leonard Cohen – The Stranger Song (1967)

It’s true that all the men you knew were dealers
Who said they were through with dealing
Every time you gave them shelter
I know that kind of man
It’s hard to hold the hand of anyone
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
You find he did not leave you very much not even laughter
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
That is so high and wild
He’ll never need to deal another
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
