So the volcano at Eyjafjallajokull finally went off. Clouds of ash preventing air travel. People moaning about not coming home. People moaning about not going on holiday. People moaning about how quiet it is with no planes. Incidentally, Ladbrokes are offering odds on one of the three leaders saying Eyjafjallajokull in the next debate (via John Lanchester). I don't know if you can put a stake on correct pronunciation though.
But I feel we're missing an opportunity to celebrate all the volcano themed music out there. Volcanoes are, after all, the orifices of the earth; linking inner and outer, they both create (see the Giant's Causeway) and destroy (Pompeii). And if you present me with an opportunity to put on "Eruption", turn up the volume and "ROCK OUT", I'm going to seize it with both hands.
Islands - Volcanoes
Van Halen - Eruption
Snoop Dogg - Sexual Eruption (remix - via Yousendit)
