7 Sept 2016: it's... Star Trek turns 50!

[RGMike]

Lots of goofy Trek-related obscurities.  Can't wait!

Just listened. Most entertaining. But when it ended I tried to post a comment and... the page crashed yet again.

I'm digging this.

this is the posted list (site finally back up) but doesn't include the little shtick about Shatner's lawyers demanding equal time with Nimoy, and so he played Shatner's "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."

-Star Trek theme
1. The Firm, Star Trekkin’
-SNL: William Shatner – Get A Life!
2. Leonard Nimoy, Highly Illogical
3. Jackson Lanzing, My Spock
-Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
4. Pink, Beam Me Up
-Saturday Night Live, Star Trek cancelled
5. Five-Year Mission, Space Seed
6. Information Society, What’s On Your Mind
7. Hank Green, What Would Captain Picard do?
9. Beastie Boys, Intergalactic
10. S.P.O.C.K., Dr. McCoy
BONUS: Tenacious D, Star Trek theme with lyrics!

OK, I am totally down with this set happening. It's a more than worthy theme to use, and I don't think it's ever been done before. All that said, this was a pretty weird set. Fun, interesting, but weird, and it will be awhile before I need to hear it again (several parsecs at least).

If I had to pick a BOS, it would probably be the bonus track, Jack Black singing the Star Trek theme with original lyrics. Just too absurd for words.

Also, DW missed his opportunity, at the end of the backsell to instruct Dave Morey to set a course for coordinates 10 mark 1-zero, and then say "Engage!" Oh well.
