When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were, and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth - Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus (1493 - 1541)

Watched Dune 2 last night.
It's not particularly better or worse then the original.
It's just...longer.

At the theater we were at it was as loud as the loudest of rock concerts. Well past 100db. Ears ringing afterwards loud.

Stravinsky Conducts Columbia Symphony Orchestra | Le Sacre du Printemps (“The Rite of Spring”) #vinyl @vinylrecords #ClassicalMusic #OrchestralMusic #ballet #CrateDigging #nowPlaying

From 1961. Got this many years ago for $1 at Goodwill. In pristine shape. Doesn’t happen much anymore. Folks take grandpa’s collection to the record shop these days.

Moor Mother - The Great Bailout @vinylrecords

Ever since discovering her through Art Ensemble Of Chicago’s “We are On The Edge”, I have grown more fond of Moor Mother’s genius with each release. Add Lonnie Holley and she takes it to a whole new level.

Tupelo Chain Sex - Spot The Difference @vinylrecords

From 1984. Evidence that at least some of your friends have been aware of the fight for a long time.

I was in a punk cover band that did a Dayglo abortions song (scared of people) back in 1984. Great band.

I didn't realise this was a thing, do people really think Mary Shelly wasn't the first SciFi author? 🤔

I always think of Margaret Cavendish as the first to write a science fiction novel - The Blazing World (1666).

@errhead @NickEast @sciencefiction @writers @writingcommunity @writing

There is a case to be made. The challenge is defining terms and distinguishing between fantasy and science fiction (or even what counts as a novel). Samuel R. Delany has argued against these earlier works being considered science fiction, as I recall - even HG Wells and Co.

@eyrea @iinavpov @AspiringLuddite @NickEast @sciencefiction @writers @writingcommunity @writing

The Blazing World has a similar claim. It’s debatable. Here is Samuel Delany’s take.

I started the @vinylrecords for musical discussion. It might interest you. I post mostly about music - but follow and comment on sci-fi and post my own bad photography
