Blue moon

A blue moon is an additional full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year: either the third of four full moons in a season, or a second full moon in a month of the common calendar.

The phrase has nothing to do with the actual color of the moon, although a literal "blue moon" (the moon appearing with a tinge of blue) may occur in certain atmospheric conditions: e.g., when there are volcanic eruptions or when exceptionally large fires leave particles in the atmosphere.

Definition

The term has traditionally referred to an "extra" moon, where a year which normally has 12 moons has 13 instead. The "blue moon" reference is applied to the third moon in a season with four moons, thus correcting the timing of the last month of a season that would have otherwise been expected too early. This happens every two to three years (seven times in the Metonic cycle of 19 years). The March 1946 issue of Sky & Telescope misinterpreted the traditional definition, which led to the modern colloquial misunderstanding that a blue moon is a second full moon in a single solar calendar month with no seasonal link.

Blue Moon (fanzine)

Blue Moon is a now defunct fanzine dedicated to Peterborough United. It was originally called Blue Moon is a Man City song for F**k sake, but the name was changed in the 2005/06 season.

History

Like many football clubs in 1980's Peterborough's United fans turned to the printed media in order to express their feelings at how their club and football in general was being run. The result was The Peterborough Effect (TPE), the name was taken from the slogan of the Peterborough Development Corporation. The TPE continued throughout the 1990s and was last published in the 2000-2001 season. For a brief period the Posh had no fanzine until the launch of "Blue Moon is a Man City Song for f**k sake" in the 2003-04 season. The name is taken from the popular song Blue Moon which is traditionally played at the end of Posh home matches. The song is also sung by Manchester City fans and thus not considered to be a Peterborough song. During the 2005/2006 season the ownership, and the main writing team, changed to The PLC.

Blue Moon (Beck song)

"Blue Moon" is a song written, produced and performed by Beck, issued as the lead single from his twelfth studio album Morning Phase. The song is the musician's first release on Capitol Records (after leaving his previous label, Geffen Records). The song was nominated for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance at the 57th Grammy Awards. Beck has performed the song on Ellen and Saturday Night Live.

Music video

No official music video was created for the song; however, a video featuring the song's audio was created to coincide with the single's physical release.

Critical reception

The song has received positive reviews from critics. Kory Grow of Rolling Stone, while comparing the song's melody to material from Beck's 2002 album Sea Change, called the song "anything but desolate", as well as "lush". Leonie Cooper of NME called the song "one of the most captivating things Beck has ever composed".

Personnel

  • Ryder

    Ryder System, Inc., or Ryder, is an American-based provider of transportation and supply chain management products, and is especially known for its fleet of rental trucks. Ryder specializes in fleet management, supply chain management and dedicated contracted carriage. Ryder operates in North America, the United Kingdom and Asia. It has its headquarters in suburban Miami, Florida within Miami-Dade County.

    History

    Ryder was founded in Miami, Florida in 1933 by James Ryder as a concrete hauling company with one truck, a 1931 Model "A" Ford. Within a few years, the business expanded to leasing trucks to other companies. This led to Ryder changing its focus from distribution to leasing. By 1939, Ryder's truck fleet had increased to 50. Ryder bought Great Southern Trucking Company in 1952. In 1955 Ryder System, Inc. was formed to combine Great Southern and Ryder Truck Rental. Ryder System went public in 1955. By the 1960s and 1970s, Ryder had expanded into the distribution and supply chain markets.

    Ryder (band)

    Ryder was a purpose-made pop group led by Maynard Williams whose primary purpose was to represent the United Kingdom at the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest in Bergen, Norway. Ryder performed the song "Runner in the Night" which was placed 7th. They were criticised in the media for being a particularly weak and unsuitable entry. The song was the first UK Eurovision entry to fail to reach the top 75 since 1964, managing a peak of only #98.Runner In The Night was the only single released by the band, but Williams teamed up with the song's composers Maureen Darbyshire and Brian Wade to compose the theme song to the BBC drama series Truckers, in which he appeared. The single from the programme failed to chart.

    Williams, the son of actor Bill Maynard, had previously reached the final 24 of the UK heat in 1985.

  • Radion the Atomic Man

    Radion the Atomic Man first appeared in Marvel Two-in-One #9 (May 1975), and was created by Steve Gerber, Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe. Exposure to radioactive isotopes caused Dr. Henri Sorel to mutate into an inhuman being who could generate blasts of nuclear energy, and warped his personality. The Puppet Master agreed to assist Radion in exchange for his help. Radion amplified the radiation in the Puppet Master's clay, enabling him to use Thor to attack the Fantastic Four. When Wundarr the Aquarian arrived to help, he absorbed Radion's powers, causing Radion to flee. Sorel then constructed a suit of armor to contain his energies and protect himself from reaching critical mass. He renamed himself the Ravager and traveled to London. He is also known as the Atom.

    Blue Moon

    by: Colubrids

    The murderess sleepsI am alone
    like big drops of ink
    my thoughts when I think
    My hands leave me and walk the dark
    the radio is trembling with me
    naked I am
    the moonlight paints me blue
    I wish you were here
    not this body beside
    my collar is wet
    avoid the streetlights
    five steps to one
    feels like I've seen too much
    moths die in the light
    Too much death all around, around me
    I hear the cats scream
    on the rainstreets below
    it's not that strange
    if I go insane
    I see her from here
    she's still where she fell
    in shadow her face
    it's not safe to sleep
    I reach out for a luke cup of tea
    about two in the packet, my hat is wet
    outside it's raining
    and I'm guarding my sheep
    the smoke from my lips
    my breath fouls the air
    oak brown are the walls
    I'm in a leather chair
    I've got a big gun
    but it rests with her
    I need to think
    oh help me blue moon
    she's done nothing wrong
    oh those dark halfclosed eyes
    I guess all I need is less alibies and to cry
