9/27/24.
I got pretty excited when seeing this on Bandcamp. I hadn't even pressed the play button and I was pretty pysched - this looked like a reissue and the band is Glaswegian.
It is not a reissue but the band is from Glasgow. And they're a pretty unlikely crew. Look at this picture:
Tumblr media
"The Tenementals are made up academics and musicians who came together to delve into the history of Glasgow through the power of music." It looks like they all are based at the University of Glasgow. They've been around for a few years and did a remake of a 1933 song written by "group of communist and socialist inmates of Borgenmoor Concentration Camp". That song is Die Moorsoldaten/Peat Bog Soldiers and has also been performed by Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson.
This band sounds nothing like folk music. Listen to "The Owl of Minerva" (Donner Party also has a song called this and it's equally great). For some reason, the picture reminds me of the great group picture of the Able Tasmans on "A Cuppa Tea and Lie Down".
Professor David Archibald is the lead vocalist (he has a bit of Sleaford Mods in him) here and this album focuses on the history of Glasgow. It is being released by Glasgow based label Strength in Numbers Records.

Hello Tumblr!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello to all the brainiacs out there! This blog is going to be the corner where I share all my hobbies. Reading books, comics, writing stuff, watching cool shows. And by cool, I mean sci-fi and adventures.
(I'm sorry, I can't stand romance and drama!😂)
Fan blog- @thenerdyolive
Hobbies blog- @nerd-goes-blogging
-my stuff-
#Writing things, as blogging is basically writing whatever the hell you want to XD
#Reading. The types of books i'm into include adventure, sci-fi, non-fiction, feel-good fiction and comedy. Comics are a huge part of me (Tintin). My most fav authors are Ruskin Bond, Sudha Murthy, R.K Narayana and, of course, Hergé. So you'd find many book reviews as well around here :)
#Watching the cool shows 😎
Let me introduce you to
-my fan-universe-
(the things I'm a fan of) (not my fans) (haven't reached there -_-)
#The Adventures of Tintin. I LOVE TINTIN. That's enough. My fan story here.
#Ducktales. I mean, a scottish duck who's over 100 years old and the richest duck in the world AND AN ADVENTURER. Now that's interesting!
#Doctor who. I'm a Nuwho fan! Last year's 14th doctor's Christmas Specials and the 15th doctor's new series are the first ones I've watched completely. It's MIND BLOWING! Also I love David Tennant! The 10th/14th doctor is the coolest. You know how I discovered this show? You know who Scrooge McDuck is? Shhh, spoilers! My fan story here.
#Star wars. All I can say is May the force be with us (btw, just begun with the trilogies, I love it, amazing films)
That's it, my introduction blog! More coming up in the following posts. Stay tuned!
Take care and stay nerdy!✨🧑🏻‍🎓

""LAWRENCE OF ARABIA TOOK TWO YEARS AND WAS SHOT IN SPAIN, MOROCCO, AND JORDAN."
PIC INFO: Resolution at 1638x2048 -- Spotlight on the many wide shots from "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962), directed by David Lean, photographed by Freddie Young (OBE, BSC, ASC), stills uploaded on November 17, 2023 by "justashott."
"The three films he made with David Lean were a challenge. “Lawrence of Arabia" took two years and was shot in Spain, Morocco and Jordan. The heat in the desert was a dry heat of 110 degrees. We had a sunshade over the camera and a wet cloth on top of the camera, which acted like refrigerator. We never saw rushes, the results were cabled from London. The famous mirage scene was shot using a 500mm lens. This was obtained from Panavision in Hollywood along with the rest of the camera equipment,” said Young."
-- BRITISH CINEMATOGRAPHER magazine, on the "Gentleman Genius" Freddie Young (OBE, BSC, ASC)

His solution to the Aboriginal question was to introduce to Queensland a version of the reserves for native peoples of the United States and Canada.
To keep our aboriginals away from contact with the whites, out that section with which they unfortunately mingle, is the most beneficial act of friendship within our power to bestow. It is also the only possible method of saving any part of the race from extinction.

BILL: Oh, shut up and stop being so stupid. Of course I'm real. What is anyone supposed to be except a bunch of memories? These are my memories, so this is me. I'm Bill Potts, and I'm back, and so long as I'm here, what the hell do you mean, you're not going to regenerate?
DOCTOR: There has to be an end, Bill, for everyone, everywhere.
BILL: What about the Captain? You know he has to die at his allotted point in time and space to correct the error.
DOCTOR: I'm so tired of losing people. If the Captain has to die, a request. This was our fault.
DOCTOR 1: How so?
DOCTOR: Let us take him back.
(Two Tardises travelling in space.)
DOCTOR 1 [OC]: How was this our fault?
DOCTOR [OC]: You and me tried to die twice in the same lifetime. Our lives are woven throughout time and space. We caused the timeline error that put the Captain in the wrong place. We created a whirlpool in time that landed him at our feet.
DOCTOR 1 [OC]: But why him? What's so important about one Captain?
DOCTOR [OC]: Everybody's important to somebody, somewhere.

Summer 2024 Behind-the-Scenes Reading
This summer was the summer of thesis reading.
There’s a very academic bent to this write-up, because, as I mentioned in last quarter’s write up. This was the summer of thesis reading. The write up you see before you is in no small part an extension of my thesis journaling, which was the half of my summer that wasn’t reading, meaning that even the non academic books here have been read in an academic mindset with an academic…

The Mighty Handful
The Mighty Handful or ‘The Five’ were a qroup of five Russian composers—César Cui, Alexander Borodin, Mily Balakirev, Modest Mussorgsky, and Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov – who, in the 1860s, attempted to create a national school of Russian music, free of the influence of Italian opera, German lieder, and other western European forms. They composed operas on distinct Russian subjects and incorporated…
