ASK MAUD'DIB (FORMERLY KNOWN AS CAN WE TALK ABOUT DUNE, DEAN?)

FRESH.

IT'S A WHOPING 194 MINUTES.

SIKED IS ME.

I got a lot of mileage out of this quote freshman year.

CONVERGE I AM LOOKING AT YOUZ

A traitor.

I saw a CD by a band called Harkonan on Hydra Head...which could be ok?...maybe.

ID KILL TO BE IN A DUNE BAND. IVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS WITH MY FRIEND. STILLSUIT would be a rad name for a BAD hardcore band.

TRR11 Nero, "Dune Concept Album" CD
This CD contains one of the strangest ideas I've run across lately... an insane, angular, aggressive soundtrack for David Lynch's failed sci-fi beast of a movie, Dune. Trust me, though - as goofy as this sounds - this is a fantastic album. It takes more than human guts to dish out the beating that Louisville, KY's Nero gives the senses with the nearly 18-minute long improvisational album-closer, "Kwizzach Haderach." Within this track, dialogue samples from Dune are alternately buried and brought to the surface, while Nero relentlessly tweaks and hacks away at building a colossal, disturbing drone. It's absolutely maniacal - which is the best way to describe Nero. With guitars, bass, drums and vocals all armed with razors and needles, and a really scary stab at an oddball "concept album," Nero has designed an inspired piece of unforgettable mayhem.

Separate non-Dune related question: should I sell all my stuff and start over?

there's a stillsuit out there somewhere in punkland...

used to have a copy of that dune techno back in the early 90s... it was pretty awful.

since i'm the only one with access to the PRL goods:
Gastr del Sol, "20 Songs Less" (A-side) (from the 20 Songs Less 7” on Teenbeat) – David Grubbs (Happy Cadavers, Squirrel Bait, Bastro) started Gastr in the wake of Bastro’s demise – with Bastro’s ex-members John McEntire and Bundy K. Brown! Their first LP was basically reworkings of songs from Bastro’s final live set, slowed down and given more space to breathe. This release, Dave’s first collaboration with Jim O’Rourke, is the first really “far out” thing he did, as it consists of acoustic guitar, tape manipulation and the sounds of a Chicago playground.

DUNEDEAN?

i can't really say too much more than that for certain yet. but we definitely want your blog around at the PRL if you do.

he hated the edited version (which dino de laurentiis cut a lot out of) but he hated the TV version even more, where they added back some footage but changed the intro and had this annoying narrator popping in throughout the whole thing (who wasn't the princess). the tv version pissed him off so much he had his screenplay credit switched to the name "judas booth"

"Oh man... have we got some GREAT news for you Dune fans today! We've done some digging with our sources at Universal, and we've learned the real reason behind their delay of the Dune: Extended Edition (previously announced for 5/10, but then pulled "indefinitely" with no explanation given). Those of you who are familiar with the film know that there's a longer version that's been shown on TV, credited to director Alan Smithee (a pseudonym used by directors when they want to distance themselves from a project for whatever reason). Well get this... after years of saying he would never revisit Dune, at the 11th hour director David Lynch apparently decided that he might want to be involved in the new DVD after all. Which means that when it's eventually released, not only is the DVD going to include the original theatrical version of the film... it may also include a brand new "director's extended cut" edited by Lynch himself. No kidding. [Editor's Note - we've been told by studio sources that this isn't a done deal. It IS why the disc was delayed, but Lynch's involvement is still in discussion and no work has been started yet. So cross your fingers and let's hope it comes to fruition.]"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've rented the TV version and it's not very good. Quality was sub-par on the DVD, and the extra scenes are great but not integrated very well. Also, endless reuse of effects shots.

if you're prescient how come you keep fucking up? more like golden shower than golden path amirite?

He knows he's going to fuck up, fucking up is part of the path. That was always the downside of prescience - once you've seen it you have fixed it in place and have to live it. That's why Darwi Odrade tries not to use her Atreides prescience to sneak a peak in Chapterhouse.

not true! leto saw arafel and he made that impossible!

i am reading the book for the first time right now, o man

what your favorite parts?

so i just finished last night... i liked most of it? particularly liked all of the stuff about the bene gesserit training and mentats and stuff. jessica changing the water of life was p rad and alia is cool, but she is creepy as fuck

basically i have been lurching around the house croaking like sian phillips and scaring my boyfriend saying shit like

"they tried and died"

and

"there is a place.... terrifying to us..."

yeah the idea of mastering innate human potential as opposed to technological potential is i think the master stroke of the series

haha i don't remember those parts

i'm assuming the first is about men trying the water, the second is about the place where rev mothers can't look?

haha, yes and yes

also the term "pre-spice mass" strikes me a hilarious but idk why

i know what you mean, there is something subtly kooky about the whole liet kynes thing

like there's that whole scene where the harkonnens throw him out onto the sand over a pre-spice mass and he's having this ecological ephiphany but all i'm thinking is fart jokes

i wanted more explicit info about the spice orgies tbh

also i was left wishing i had a connect to sell me like a gram of spice, that shit sounds p good

it's just nutmeg, duh

smoke that shit w/ some banana peels son

also the term "pre-spice mass" strikes me a hilarious but idk why

I think of like, smegma, or ambergris

still haven't gone on to reread heretics/chapterhouse yet

you will!

YOU WILL!!!!

I've just re-read all six. It was a bit of a slog in places and I think he wastes some interesting characters by jumping forward millennia at a time between books but overall I think it's a wonderfully imaginative series.

yeah the idea of mastering innate human potential as opposed to technological potential is i think the master stroke of the series

otm - Mentat calculation, Bene Gesserit awareness, Truthsaying, etc. plus all the heightened physical abilities are all things that one could maybe believe would be possible were the human body and brain to be pushed to their full potential.

honing your pinky toe to killing strength in the digit mill

pretty sure frank herbert's mom or mother in law or exwife had the voice

I've never seen this...
