It seems that all the cool kids of Bay Area geo-blogging were at Kevin Starr’s lecture (on the lessons learned from the 2020 San Francisco earthquake) last night. I was not; I was doing homework. I’m not cool.

But in the spirit of commemorating destruction, let’s see if, in addition to being uncool, I’m also doomed: O great and glorious iTunes, will there be a major (M>6) earthquake on the Hayward fault before I finish grad school?

The key.

1. The Covering: Future Legend - David Bowie (from Diamond Dogs)
2. The Crossing: 3 AM Call - Noe Venable(from No Curses Here)
3. The Crown: Maudabawn Chapel - Eileen Ivers
4. The Root: Vivaldi’s Trumpet Concerto in C Major, PV 44 - Largo (performed by Edward Carroll, on Masterpieces for Trumpet)
5. The Past: The Happy Salmon - Tarras (from Rising)
6. The Future: I Still Remember- Nightnoise (from Something of Time)
7. The Questioner: You Talkin’ To Me?- Noe Venable (from No Curses Here)
   

   What’s the matter, baby?
   Show a little leg… show a little leg…

8. The House: Sing Me A Song (That’ll Just Keep Me Lonesome) - Perfect Strangers (from Perfect Strangers)
9. The Inside: An Cailí­n Gaelach - Altan (from Island Angel)
   

   I asked her softly and respectfully
   ‘Will you take a kiss from me, my own true love?’

10. The Outcome: Silk And Sweat(from Wakka Chikka Wakka Chikka)

The Covering is clear enough: a devastating Bay Area quake is a vital mythic element in modern culture. How aspiring geophysicists fit into the Jungian framework, I don’t know - the oracle’s choice for the Questioner is just cheeky.

Actually, given the Inside, and especially the Outcome, I think iTunes is trying to hit on me. Naughty Oracle! No cookie.
