Ramones "Howling At The Moon"
In honor of the full moon today, Sunday, November 21st at 5:28pm, here are some moon themed songs, including the infectious Ramones single "Howling At The Moon" above. Hopefully these tracks can act as an accompanying soundtrack for the lunar phase that only happens when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, or more specifically, when the geocentric apparent longitudes of the Sun and the Moon differ by 180 degrees.
It is only during a full moon, which occurs approx every month, or 29.53 days, that the opposite hemisphere of the Moon, which is not visible from Earth, is completely unilluminated. Below are the songs "Moon Over Marin" by Jello Biafra and the Dead Kennedys, "Red Hot Moon" by Rancid, and "Bad Moon Rising" by John Fogerty's Creedence Clearwater Revival. Feel free to add your favorite "moon" themed song in the comments below. Also below is a guide to upcoming full moon dates and times for the next 13 months through the end of 2011.
