TOS 1-8, "Miri" with Rebecca Loebe
Rebecca Loebe is an award-winning Americana singer-songwriter, based in Austin, Texas. She holds down duties as a member of Nobody's Girl (with BettySoo and Grace Pettis) and is signed to Blue Corn Music as a solo artist. She is a widely respected, driven, creative force. Equally adept at the artistic and the professional aspects of life as a working musician, she brings her own brand of fierce joy to it all.
She started her career as a sound engineering major at the prestigious Berklee College of Music but ended up pursuing a career as a full-time touring songwriter instead when she left school. Rebecca has released six studio albums as well as a live album. Her album, Mystery Prize, which she released in 2010 and made by bartering studio work for recording time, spent 2½ months on the Americana Music Association’s airplay chart and made its yearend top 100. She was a contestant on the first season of The Voice, and proceeded to spend the following years touring across the United States, Europe, and Japan. Her latest album, Give Up Your Ghosts, released on Blue Corn Music in 2019, "is an exercise in honesty and bravery alike for Loebe...the most important chapter she's written in her musical journey thus far." -PopMatters
We review Star Trek (the Original Series), Season 1, Episode 8, "Miri." Topics include: unicorn brain and how to be a left brain / right brain creative, Rebecca’s origin story: sound engineering by way of music, then music by way of sound engineering, the 17-year-old second youngest freshman at Berklee, the teeny tiny fish in the big pond and how that prepares you for the music business, Trek-binging 90’s parents, the uncomfortable sexual tension between Kirk and Miri, this episode as a metaphor for the pubescent plague that befalls every kid, Grace’s constant state of Trek on tour, Star Trek-themed eyeshadow palettes, the far-fetched plot line of a global pandemic that wipe out all the old people, satellite images of Earth in the 60’s, Yeoman Janice Rand and Grace Lee Whitney’s exit from Trek, the creepy kid tribe, KIRK PUNCHES ZOMBIES, and why this episode was banned on British television.
