I'm not the only one who has noticed that the theme music to Star Trek Discovery is similar to that of Fringe. There are conversations on Reddit - see this Google search. Someone has even done a mashup:

I like Kvelertak. Today, Spotify recommended a band called Red Fang to me. (Not anything to do with Kvelertak - it was because I listened to Godflesh, who as far as I know, haven't used any owl-based artwork.)
But it got me thinking, is the presence of an owl among the pictures used by a band a predictor of my liking them? So I did an experiment: google owl pictures related to bands and see how many I like (enough to follow on Spotify or add to a playlist on YouTube or whatever) and how many I dislike (or just get bored with). The first set of search terms was
Including Red Fang and Kvelertak, I managed to get a sample size of 15. Here they are:
Only three of those went under the "like" category - not enough to justify any further analysis. It was interesting though, to note that two artistes (not included above) were Japanese jazz keyboardists, so although owls may be metal as f##k, but in Japan they're also quite jazzy. When it was played a lot on the radio all those many years ago, I couldn't hear this Psychic TV song without being reminded of Petula Clark's Downtown. According to a Google search, no one else seems to noticed - maybe because the Internet wasn't around back then. Which doesn't mean a search for these two will always be fruitless - a few years ago I tried to find out what on earth Peterkin Custard was, with no joy, but now it's officially documented as a ghost sign.
I know which one I can listen to for longer. Which do you prefer?
I like to watch a bit of reality telly last thing at night, to get me in the mood for sleep. No high drama with lots of shrieking, but calming stuff, like Judge Judy, or Animal Cops <Insert-Location-Name-Here>. So when I noticed that Discovery's Whale Wars was all about the Sea Shepherds I thought it would fit the bill nicely: lots of footage of the day-to-day practicalities of life on the high seas, marine animals, and once in a while, preventing some Anyway, the title music of Whale Wars is this: And for some reason it puts me in mind of this: I can imagine them being mashed together, but any search for Smashing Pumpkins vs Suzi Quatro yields nothing.
