My Books
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy
And don't miss...
(Includes my essay "The Ancients Are Watching.")
Blurbage
"Posthuman Blues is good shit. You humans might like it too."
--John Shirley, author of Crawlers and Eclipse
"Mind-stretching."
--Clifford Pickover, author of Sex, Drugs, Einstein, and Elves
". . . a grabbag of links and pithy blurbs, each a little more curious than the last."
--Feral Intelligence
"Frankly, there's nothing worse (aside from death, global famine, nuclear disaster and all-round armageddon) than seeing players in the UFO field fawning all over their peers at conferences as they seek acceptance into the ufological sand-pit by saying the 'right thing' to the 'right people.' Thankfully, there's none of that in Mac's world."
--Nick Redfern, author of Three Men Seeking Monsters
"Mac Tonnies is undeniably a bit of a weirdo. Perhaps that's why I like him so much, though I agree with nearly nothing that he writes."
--John Brownlee
--John Shirley, author of Crawlers and Eclipse

I know I should really love Radiohead, given their melancholy nature, but try as I might, I just don't get them.
I've been "getting" them more and more. They're an incredibly smart band. Sometimes a little opaque ("Kid A") but always worth a few spins.
Radiohead delivers something just off center enough to be interesting. I love his vocal talent and awkward range.
Another band I would HIGHLY recommend Posthuman'rs give a listen to is "Battles" (I'm sure many of you have heard them). Now this stuff is progressive if you ask me and definitely post worthy. I see it as a legitimate glimpse into the far flung future of music. You have to take in a few songs to "get" what these guys are about but it is pure brilliance:

Oh and one more to round Battles off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU
Check out their live stuff too. Amazing.
