What Song Are You Listening To, Right Now?

The Tornados - Telstar - New improved stereo remix


The record was named after the Telstar communications satellite, which was launched into orbit on 10 July 1962. Written and produced by Joe Meek, it featured either a clavioline or the similar Jennings Univox, both keyboard instruments with distinctive electronic sounds. It was recorded in Meek's studio in a small flat above a shop in Holloway Road, North London. "Telstar" won an Ivor Novello Award and is estimated to have sold at least five million copies worldwide.[4]

"This was one of the first sci-fi-influenced pop songs," observed Tim Wheeler of Ash in 2007. "For its time it was so futuristic and it still sounds pretty weird today. It features Matt Bellamy's dad George on guitar… You can hear traces of it in Muse. 'Knights of Cydonia' was definitely him tipping his hat to his dad."[5]

Tony wrote the words, and "You're the One" became a UK #23 hit for her when released as a single. But The Vogues' version did even better in the USA,. After a re-release, it made it to #4.

In 32 of the US states, the legal age of consent is 16 years.

In Connecticut for example, a person aged 13 years can give in to a sexual relationship if the older partner is not more than three years their senior. Children who are less than 13 years old can also consent to sexual activities with partners who are not more than two years older. However, if the older partner is a guardian or a person of authority to the minor, the age of consent is 18 years.
