“Radioactive Runaway” is about Gamera and Daragon destroying Tokyo . Sung from the perspective of the forlorn scientist who raised the mutated turtle, it’s reminiscent of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. “75 Lines” is a fantastic riff on Bob Dylan.

Other tracks include “Heartache Over Innsmouth” for the Lovecraftians; “Babylon Battle of the Bands”, which is a showpiece number in rap; “Pimp My Satellite” which is exactly what it sounds like; and another favorite, “Sci Fi High” a homeboy’s commentary on surviving a futuristic – or fannish – high school. The song is chock full of references to TV shows, heroes, villains, and classic SF literature. From mournful ballads of unrequited weird/dangerous love to jive talkin’, this is genius parody. ~~ Chris R. Paige
