A Sense of Doubt blog post #3670 - SoD Reprint of #243 from 3-06-16 - Nonesuchery Suchery of None

I had to edit this original post for a broken video.

And that's a benefit of reprint mode.

I love these reprints that take me back in time to what I was looking at and thinking about nine years ago today.

Still an inspiring collection of various "nonesuch."

Thanks for tuning in.

Link to the original post I am reprinting below:

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #243 - Assorted Nonesuchery for Sunday 1603.06

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.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #243 - Assorted Nonesuchery for Sunday 1603.06

Hi Mom,

Show and tell this morning. Here's what I have been doing lately, listening to, looking at, thinking about.

Lots of art here, and I have tried to give all due credit.

There's some music, too, and some links of things to read.

Kind of a huge hodge podge: some from Tumblr, some from various sources on the 'net, stuff in my lists and folders.


STUFF.

Okay, DISCLAIMER ABOUT THE WOMEN: there are a few pictures of women. I have included a few because the pictures and their compositions inspire me. I was especially struck by the Korean skin care campaign photos. I see these as touchstones for a character I am writing about named Mi Mei. I see the pictures as art not so much as objectifying, fetishist fantasy explorations.
Just figured I should add that bit.
Cuz I am neurotic.
And I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.
Damn.

I had not heard about this band, but I discovered them in reading about the band Broadcast.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - THE BAND - CIRCA 1967-1968

The original video died, so this is an edit on 2503.06 in preparing a reprint of this post.

So here's two videos from 2023 (from the future of as this post is published in 2016).

The United States of America - The United States of America (1968) | Podcast

Polyphonic Press

The self-titled album "The United States of America" by the eponymous band, released in 1968, stands as a pioneering and avant-garde masterpiece of the psychedelic and electronic music genres. Fusing elements of rock, experimental soundscapes, and politically charged lyrics, the album takes listeners on a kaleidoscopic journey through the tumultuous landscape of late 1960s America. With its innovative use of synthesizers and oscillators, the album creates an otherworldly sonic landscape that feels both futuristic and timeless. Poignant and thought-provoking, "The United States of America" album remains a symbol of countercultural creativity, pushing the boundaries of music and society.

Are you inspired?

I am.

Okay, so this is just SOME OF the stuff that I have been looking into, reading, listening to, thinking about in the last two days.

Time to get back to work... :-(

Reflect and connect.

Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

- Bloggery committed by chris tower - 1603.06 - 10:10 - my time - Blogger time = 7:10

NOTE on time: When I post late, I had been posting at 7:10 a.m. because Google is on Pacific Time, and so this is really 10:10 EDT. However, it still shows up on the blog in Pacific time. So, I am going to start posting at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time, intending this to be 10:10 Eastern time. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. But I am not going back and changing all the 7:10 a.m. times. But I will run this note for a while. Mom, you know that I am posting at 10:10 a.m. often because this is the time of your death.

- Days ago: MOM = 3535 days ago & DAD = 190 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.
