A Sense of Doubt blog post #3584 - SoD Reprint of #882 - 2017 - DOUBLE-SIDED ME

A Sense of Doubt blog post #3584 - SoD Reprint of #882 - 2017 - DOUBLE-SIDED ME

I don't usually posts Music Monday twice in one week, let alone back-t-back, even reprints, but I found this one, and it was broken, and I had to fix, and so I had to reprint it, and I had to write this run-on because it's a run-on kind of day, and I have grades to do and what feels like not enough time to do them -- though it probably is enough -- and I don't really want to start.

I am going to try to do what I always should do. Work a little, play a little, work a little, a thing for me, work some more, another non-work thing. Let's see how I do. I also have to do laundry and cook dinner. I already cleaned up the kitchen as I did not have the bandwidth to do it last night when I got home.

On the strength of this picture alone, I love this blog entry.

But I love all the music, too.

When links break in the original, with the older posts, I included less information about what the embedded music players and videos were, so apparently, I had a "soundtrack to Dune" here and neither film had come out yet. I am not sure what the "sand crawl" refers to. I tried to approximate. I know I cannot get back to the original, exactly. But at least the links are no longer broken.

Thanks for tuning in.


LOW POWER MODE: I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal. Thanks for reading.

Lady Aurora dancing at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon in Iceland - 

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #882 - I am double-sided and a soundtrack for DUNE - Musical Monday for 1712.04

This post was edited on 2412.10 when I found many of the music links to be broken.


Hi Mom,

I dedicate the cover photo to my wife Liesel as we both want to make Iceland our next vacation spot.

Here's some music that has queued up for Musical Monday. Originally, I had this slotted for last week, but then the death of a friend derailed me and I needed to stop and unplug my shirt.

So, here's some grooves and one sand crawl.

Don't let the sexy photos of women turn you off from those mixes by DJ Dimsa. These are probably my two favorites of his output over the last ten years.

Also, there's an old favorite on here because it played in my iTunes as I was writing these words, so I decided to share it today... though I was not listening to the live version.

As for the sand crawl, it's the eclectic element of today's music, ostensibly, it can be regarded as a sound track for DUNE.

I reread DUNE within the last five years with the intention of getting through all the books, and I made it through the second and third books before I moved on to other things. And yet, there's an itch to go back an re-read again. Children of Dune is especially disturbing due to the story of the twins. I just did some quick reviewing and found that some notables, like Spider Robinson, have been very critical of this book, which may validate my own feelings that it is "dark and convoluted stuff" much like David Pringle in the Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction.

The dread and drone of the April Larson music seems to reflect my mood today on one side and yet the Sade song reflects my mood on the other side.



I am double sided.

- Days ago: MOM = 3448 days ago & DAD = 105 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
