* "Space Doggity." Ignore the funny title (It's a homage to Space Oddity, obviously) this song is so depressing it's unbelievable. It's about [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika Laika]], the dog the Russians put in space and her last moments - and it's hard not to break down in tears. It hurts because it loves. What makes it worse is the third to last verse, where the scientists back home discuss the failure of the mission.

** In his series of blog posts about the fifth-year anniversary of his Thing a Week project, he noted how a song he'd only given a little bit of thought to had exploded beyond its boundaries. Although he ''wrote'' the song about Pluto and Charon, the ways in which people had been using it--as a song at their weddings, as a lullaby for their children--had made it into so much ''more.'' And he thinks that's awesome. So he's acknowledged its power himself, and just knowing how much the song has struck a chord with people is tear jerker in itself!
