Heavy Metal Sunday loves this band's name

Alabama Thunderpussy is a sadly defunct Southern Metal band that was active from 1996 through 2008. The main cause of the break seemed to be that they never really made ATP their main focus. Band members came and went, everyone had side projects, and in the end they just decided to give up on the band and move on.

But while active they produced some great fusions of Metal and Southern Rock. Like today's cut, which is off of 2002's Staring At The Divine. Enjoy Motor Ready.

Another long rambly Traveller post.

One of the positions I've held for a long time about Traveller's Third Imperium is that if it has a motto, a defining principle, it can be summed up as this: The Trade Must Flow. (anyone want to translate that into Latin?) The entire reason for the Imperium's existence is to ensure that the flow of goods and information never ceases.

The worlds of the Imperium can look to their own affairs. The Imperium rules the spaces between the worlds. The Trade Must Flow.
