I'm excited to host a band today on a special space mission episode of Recipe Records Radio Show. Joining me from Greenbelt, Maryland, at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is a group of rocket scientists that are more rock star than any astrophysicist you might imagine. NAKED SINGULARITY: Maggie Masetti, (web, outreach, and social media for the JWST, Hubble's successor being built now at Goddard) vocals, guitar, trumpet; Kevin Boyce (joint Japanese/US mission that will be X-ray astronomy), bass, vocals;
Rich Kelley (the lead scientist on an instrument that they're building for that project), lead guitar;
Rob Gersten (Earth Science at Goddard), drums; Joe Nigro (Earth Science at Goddard), lead guitar,;
also Tali Figueroa, drums/backing vocals.
The band 'Naked Singularity' has been playing together for more than a decade and are what I consider the perfect blend of using your day job to create material for your true hobby or passion. Their original music lyrics often poke fun at the struggle of the 9-5 grind, but do so in a comfy haven of musical goodness.
Tune in today to hear them discuss the meaning of naked singularity or perhaps even 'Hawking Radiation.' When asked for a cool astrophysics band name, a fellow astrophysicist suggested "Naked Singularity," adding that "the term might be misunderstood by your audience and lead to a decline in public morals, which is not part of NASA's charter"....and so this group of astrophysicists quickly adopted the name for their band.....
(picture on right: Naked Singularity performing with an ASTRONAUT!)
The band just released their first CD, titled "Last Call" which has been a labor of love for these musicians who wrote all of the material, recorded, mixed & mastered it completely....which is no small task....
So tune in to hear this terrific band whose motto is:
"Not as geeky as you think"
