A Sense of Doubt blog post #3863 - Thela Hun Ginjeet - SoD Reprint of Hey Mom #874 - Music Monday for 2509.15


A Sense of Doubt blog post #3863 - Thela Hun Ginjeet - SoD Reprint of Hey Mom #874 - Music Monday for 2509.15

I had another post for today that I postponed, and then the reprint I chose, I also postponed.

This original post had broken videos, which I always want to fix.

And King Crimson is ruthless about taking down their content that other people have posted.

The main song video is on their channel, so it should be secure.

The live version I shared along with it has been up for two years, so it may remain. We shall see.

Both videos were posted after the original publication of this post, and I edited the original, too, because I dislike having broken videos on my blog.

FUNNY THING: I originally posted this entry in 2017, six years later I am at a (sort of) Talking Heads reunion show, meet some old school music fans, and we talk about King Crimson's Discipline, and I mention this line: 

"So I unplugged my shirt"

which is the title of this original post.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #874 - "I finally unplugged my shirt" - Musical Monday 1711.27

Hi Mom,

I will always remember the joyous enthusiasm and relish with which he recited the lines:

"I finally unplugged my shirt and said, look, I am with this band..."

"Thela Hun Ginjeet"







Please enjoy "Thela Hun Ginjeet," performed by King Crimson on ABC's "Fridays." Although this clip may exist elsewhere, this is unique in that the audio is sourced from a half-track 7.5ips reel-to-reel recording made from the ABC network satellite feed.



NOTE ON 2509.17: I do not remember what this next thing was and now it's gone. But I am still leaving it here. I do remember which friend, though I am not saying. This video was poste before I was in the habit of posting links and titles and all that just in case a video is removed so I can figure out what it is.


And this, for my friend, who left this world this morning because it's beautiful.




Cryptic, yes. I hesitate to reference anything at all. I was tempted to post just the videos.

...sigh...

I waited two days to post as I struggled with learning the news of the death of a friend of mine, and even writing this now, on Wednesday, I may sleep on it before posting.

There are not a lot of options for King Crimson content on You Tube. It's a thing I guess. Certain bands protect their material and that makes sense. But it does interfere with my ability to post the content.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #3688 - SoD Reprint of #1361 - Hanging on in Quiet Desperation is the InDiscipline Way mix for Musical Monday for 1811.12


A Sense of Doubt blog post #3688 - SoD Reprint of #1361 - Hanging on in Quiet Desperation is the InDiscipline Way mix for Musical Monday for 1811.12

Reprint today because of final grades, and I was three days behind on the blog.

The original post had many broken embedded videos.

I do not publish the videos of the mixes one at a time any more, so I left the original as is as you can see at the link below; however, I updated the mix on You Tube and so as such the track list remains the same.

Here's the original link to the post I am reprinting below:

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.


A Sense of Doubt blog post #1361 - Hanging on in Quiet Desperation is the InDiscipline Way mix for Musical Monday for 1811.12

Hello readers,

I continue to use this blog as a staging area for music I want to play in the class room. This one started with King Crimson and the first song, that song by Mogwai, which I first featured in my re-share (with all due credit to) of Kieron Gillen's best of 2016 playlist.

But then, as it always happens YOU TUBE intervenes and shares music that's just perfect and also, sometimes, a new discovery like Orkestra Obsolete using 1930s instruments to play New Order's "Blue Monday."

But then I expand with some artists I want to talk about, like Kate Bush, Devo, Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno, and Talking Heads. But then You Tube says "what about Moby?" And those two cuts seem to fit. And then I am with my wife and she plays an old Gang of Four track, and I remember how much I love Entertainment, the first album from 1979.

The crowning touch from which I modify a lyric for the title comes from Pink Floyd's "Time," one of the most relevant songs year after year of my whole life, and I thought it was true and real and well-targeted when I first heard it at the age of EIGHTEEN.








































But, just BY THE WAY, here’s the link to that post of my most listened to albums (which is like favorites…sort of…)


This has become a killer mix.

It all started because my students had a "quiz" (some might call it a test), and I wanted to make a point about "DISCIPLINE" and connect to King Crimson's album Discipline, which also makes the companion point about "Indiscipline," which is the negation of discipline. Say what? Check out the song. Two versions.

All this music keeps on giving to my life over and over and over.

Video player pod at the end of the blog entry. URL link to the mix in the title below.

ENJOY.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2815 - Everything that starts with K - THAT ONE THING FOR 2211.04



A Sense of Doubt blog post #2815 - Everything that starts with K - THAT ONE THING FOR 2211.04

For today, everything in my Sense of Doubt folder that starts with K.

Some of these images were for posts I made decrying the subject, such as the KKK (atrocious) or Kyrsten Sinema (unfit for office).

Thanks for tuning in.
