It's been a while since I saw anyone type out T-Rex. I, too, have texted "trex" because it's a pain in the ass to do capitals and hyphens on phones. Because of that, I've been thinking "trex" (rhymes with "wrecks") would be a pretty cool name for a tribute band to the #70s band T-Rex.

It would be perfect; the band would be made up of millennials and zoomers, and their name would be the original band's name, just written like #millenials and #zoomers do it.

"MOHO" or "The Moho"

for a band with a bohemian flair but scientific interests

Anyway, inspired by this article, which explains why last April's earthquake in NJ and NY did not have the worst shaking next to its epicenter. Usually what happens in an earthquake is that the shaking moves up from the epicenter to the surface just above it.

That was not the case here, the researchers say. Instead, much of the energy headed downward, along the fault’s dip, and continued until it hit the Moho. Then it bounced back up, emerging among other places under New York City, which was right in the way. Then the wave bounced back down and re-emerged further away in New England, somewhat weaker, and so on, until it petered out. The long-distance echoes were likely strengthened by the fact that most rocks underlying this region are hard and dense, and conduct energy efficiently, like the ringing of a bell.

Thinking of a list of very specific songs: songs that have the name of the band in them.

Off the top of my head I can only think of two:

The Ocean Blue - song.link/us/i/63491698

They Might Be Giants - They Might Be Giants song.link/us/i/298111101

I guess this list needs more rules, like it needs to be an intentional inclusion of the name; I'm not interested in all the songs by The Who that have the word "who" in them, for instance.

Gotta think more. If you have #suggestions, I'm interested.

Edit: Made a playlist because of course I did. If you have a song to add, please feel free.
