Facebook, Google, SpaceX, Virgin Galactic satellite Internet ventures inspire musical reflection
With all of the high-flying satellite Internet service action going on these days between Facebook, Google and others, I got thinking about how many songs there are with the word “satellite”, “satellites” or something related in the title.
My favorite is Modest Mouse’s Satellite Skin, but I’ve tried to collect a bunch for various musical tastes…
