Perplexions is an album by
Melora Creager, frontwoman and founder of the band
Rasputina, which was released on December 4, 2006, through her own record label, Filthy Bonnet Recording Co.[2]
"Lunar Girl Explorer", according to Creager, was "inspired by the satellite Gallileo's [sic] explorations of
Saturn's moon, Titan",[3] although she was likely referring to the
Huygens probe, which touched down on Titan on January 14, 2005, as the
Galileo spacecraft was never involved in such exploration.
"Warbots" is about the U.S. Government's real life attempts to make robot soldiers. The lyric "the lawyers tell me that there are no prohibitions against robots making life or death decisions", credited in the song to "Mr. Johnson", is indeed a direct quote from Gordon Johnson of
the Pentagon's
Joint Forces Command.[4][5]
"Krakatowa" was described by Creager "a tale of Polynesian spite and revenge."[3]
