Word of warning to BSG fans

Out of general interest I looked up on Wikipedia today to see if they had a page on the new BSG, and they do--from which they also have linked a BSG-specific wiki run by fans of the show, chock full of data about all the various flavors of BSG that have existed.

Word of warning, though--while this looks to be quite the usefully detailed site, it is also crawling with Season 2 spoilers. I got bitten by this glancing at a couple of character pages that included data on things that happen to these characters in episodes that have not yet aired in the U.S. So consider yourselves advised just in case you're surfing for BSG stuff--visit this site with care for spoilers!

GBS music geekery

Today's exercise in writing procrastination comes to me courtesy of being madly, passionately in love with the title track of Something Beautiful*, even this long after buying it. Definitely one of those I Must Learn How to Play This Song sorts of GBS ditties. So today I started trying to tab it out. Things of interest observed for the guitar-playing GBS fans on my Friends list:

The song is in the key of F, near as I can tell, and you have to play it with the third fret capoed. Which punts all the chords into the key of D. I'm pretty sure that the intro is two repetitions of D-D-D-A.

The first verse got a bit challenging for me, at least on the first two lines, which are all that I've chorded out so far. I picked out the complete melody line on my guitar, though, which helped. But it also led me to try to figure out what weirdo chord goes in the middle of each of these lines--and thanks to a bit of music geeking with kathrynt and past familiarity with what the lovely and talented Mr. Doyle does in terms of chord selection in his songs, Emsus4 finally popped out as the chord I want. So for the interested, the first little bit of "Something Beautiful" seems to come out something like this...
