iPod iChing - colourful exoplanets

Wintry friday, and far too much excitement on all fronts.

So, we ask the Mighty iPod: about those new exoplanets - Fomalhaut b, really there or unlucky background? And, HR8799 - is it really a BSS?

Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.

  • The Covering: Greetings to the New Brunette - Billy Bragg
  • The Crossing: Carry That Weight - Beatles
  • The Crown: Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
  • The Root: I Want To Tell You - Beatles
  • The Past: One Better Day - Madness
  • The Future: (I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear - Blondie

Crossing works.
Questioner has attitude.
The House is dancing the twist.

As always, the Key as explained by Sean
