sense of doubt

Though the current project started as a series of posts charting my grief journey after the death of my mother, I am no longer actively grieving. Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2386 - New Music Stuffs - GHOST BOX - PAUL WELLER - Musical Monday for 2108.30

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2386 - New Music Stuffs - GHOST BOX - PAUL WELLER - Musical Monday for 2108.30

So, I have been a big fan of GHOST BOX RECORDS for most of the last decade. I had saved a new notification that there was a new release -- Vaganten -- that I saved for exploration at a later time.

I had another post scheduled for today dedicated to the great WILLIAM ORBIT and the legacy of URB magazine, which I may split into two posts as URB and William Orbit are not all that related.

So I am looing around at the GHOST BOX site and I see a menu item for PAUL WELLER.

Wha...??

PAUL WELLER at GHOST BOX???

OH HELL YES!!!

DESCRIPTION

Paul Weller - In Another Room

Ghost Box is very proud to present a new EP by Paul Weller. The eclecticism of his career goes without saying and in Ghost Box Weller finds the perfect home to explore his interest in experimental tape music and early electronics.

The four tracks here though are more than just experiments. Tape manipulation, field recordings and instrumental passages are artfully arranged to create a gently uncanny & psychedelic atmosphere.

The 7” EP is limited to 1000 copies and is pressed on heavyweight vinyl with beautiful gatefold sleeve artwork by Julian House. Greedbag customers are eligible for a free download version.

Damn.

I may have to get that, too.

And then I have to look around. The Modfather, Mr. Paul Weller, puts out music so often that I can rarely keep up. Have I missed one?

Yes, I have.

Ordered.

FAT POP

2021

FAT POP ?? “Pop, in old money… you know what I mean?” The new album from Paul Weller was recorded in Spring 2020 whilst unable to hit the road and tour. Locked-down at Black Barn studios, Paul initially recorded vocals, piano and guitar on his own, before sending to the core band to add their parts remotely. Eventually the full band were able to reconvene as restrictions lifted and finish the record. Out May 14th & available to pre-order on multiple formats - including deluxe vinyl and deluxe CD, LTD picture disc, merch bundles & more… First track ‘Cosmic Fringes’ out now! Link in bio.

Ghost Box · ToiToiToi - Vaganten

Hello,

Vaganten, the new LP by ToiToiToi is out now on Ghost Box Records.

"A splendidly jolly excursion into Mitteleuropean medieval traditions...the most delightfully debauched holiday"
Electronic Sound
"...invitingly peculiar and such an oddly satisfying experience."
Concrete Islands

ToiToiToi (aka Sebastian Counts) leads us a merry dance; a tipsy pilgrimage through a unique sound world of lost European landscapes, odd folk customs, faux medievalism, sample detritus and electronic melody. Usually based in Berlin, Counts recorded this album deep in the German countryside.

Available now on CD and all Digital formats. The LP version is slightly delayed, but it can be ordered now & will be shipped from 27th August. It comes on heavyweight vinyl with full colour inner sleeve and free download code card. Beautiful artwork as always is by Julian House, borrowing heavily from Brueghel the Younger.

ToiToiToi's brilliant first album Im Hag is also available in the Ghost Box shop on LP, CD and Download.

"...the whole thing is a treat from the sleeve onwards."
Electronic Sound
"A truly strange and beautiful work."
Cyclic Defrost

And don't forget that EU orders from our shop have taxes paid here in the UK, so there should be nothing extra to pay on delivery.

Thank You for Listening.

- Days ago = 2250 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. 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.

I am Christopher Tower the gmr

I am Christopher Tower (or Chris), and I am a writer of stuff. I grew up in Michigan; I now live in the Portland, OR metro area. I play Ultimate, ride a bike, and supposedly educate college persons while myself being educated in college. I am married with two kids, a beagle, a curly lab, and a fiesty pug/frenche mix. I like sushi. I love all SF, fantasy, comic books, D&D, board games, and Gnosticism. I am a Jungian. I am currently studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University.

SENSE OF DOUBT STATUS AS OF 0705.04 - 16:45

Sense of Doubt is not currently dedicated to any themes or special interest. The subject matter is mine and may range from comic books to ultimate or from Baseball to feminist-centered media criticism. Until I feel I have enough content for multiple blogs, or until I am seized with a desire to create multiple blogs, this is it, and appropriately so. "Sense of Doubt" came about in Bowie’s Berlin period and the dark, ambient collaborations with Brian Eno. Like the Bowie of 1978, I have my own darkness that steals over me and through me, infecting everything. At the risk of sounding far too melodramatically obsessed with my own self-flagellations, this blog dedicates itself to that darkness, that infection. But it’s fun, too. Hey, I can be amusing? Or not. It’s the way of the [w]rench. Neurosis compelling action in insecure double-checking and misunderstanding evasions. It is my way.

More from the original description text that needed editing in 2015: Furthermore, Sense of Doubt is dedicated to the random. The theme is no theme. Just questions, doubt, and uncertainty. Feel the power of not knowing the answer. So dedicated on the last day of July 2006 by the Galactic Monkey Wrench.

The Galactic Monkey Wrench

This is the logo of the Galactic Monkey Wrench. I was given the nickname Galactic Monkey Wrench in college by a friend of mine who felt that I threw the monkey wrench into the cosmos at every available opportunity. Later, in discussions with my best friend, who is the Lord of Chaos (the Loc), he asked for my title and when I told him, without thinking, he blurted out "the gmr!" Since this was random and we appreciate randomness, I became the gmr, even though technically I should be the gmw. But gmw sounds like a car or some industrial manufacturing firm that makes a strange widget of which one has never heard. This acronym fetish may make no sense to anyone else, but my friend and I are quite driven to provide acronyms for many things. At the very least, it allows us to keep our conversations obscure and often private as no one knows about what we're talking.

A Feast for Crows

by George R.R. Martin

This book is a little slower than the others. But if you become invested in this series, it provides key information about the history of Westeros and the lands across the Narrow Sea. It may not contain chapters with my favorite characters ...

A Game of Thrones

Do I really need to review this book? It's one of the best books I have ever read. Martin is a great writer. All the books are great, and I am loving my time rereading them. If you have not checked out these books, start here and get ready ...

The Golden City

These books are immensely entertaining. Treat yourself to some strong writing, great action, compelling characters, and a mix of metaphysics and theology. The ending of this third book, which is presumably the last, is anti-climactic and so...

This was a fun book. Not OSC's best but very good OSC nonetheless. The best thing about is the time travel, slowing, and speeding powers of the characters and how OSC engages the reader in discussion of causality and time paradox. For fans ...

This book came to me via my wife Liesel who discovered it and urged me to read it. Beautifully written with compelling characters and a sense of the magical (yet realistic, somewhat). Funny yet full of the pathos that marks a good if not gr...
