Have Some Clanker Songs

Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

UPDATE: There won’t be another post. Sorry. The younger DIL and I were moving things around and playing with heavy duty sanders. Tired now.

There will be a real post later. (We’re all out of schedule!) For now have some clanker songs.
And curse those who gave me the idea of a sound track. You know who you are! Have you no shame?
So here is the first track, Space Admiral’s Son.

And here is a redo of Forever Through No Man’s Land which youtube, inexplicably, decided was a short!

  2. Is that Eerlen– oh, gads, yes, it must be Eerlen, because glowy red hands and I see where you mentioned the clanker put Lendir and you forced it to put the terrible lion bear… and there’s Lendir. ^.^

  3. Full soundtrack? Really? Cool!

    (One of my nascent story series is “Three Songs” because it’s heavily associated with those, if not quite absolutely inspired-by — so I “get” the connection, really I do. The bonus here of course is we all get the benefit of your own demi-obsession, or gateway music, or whichever it is.)

    Of course Ewe Tube is still being a dud-round prat, but I’ve managed to ‘see’ a few of the songs, incl. the K-Pop one. And since I got the Amazon-format Part I, impatience being a thing, I do more or less understand what’s up with at least most of the clankervid songs.

    Now, if some of our more sing-competent Huns would someday get together and..?

      1. As a matter of fact, yes, I do. I finished it last night. Wrote the review while my eyes were still damp. You should complain to Amazon: There’s a lot of dust in their e-warehouse.

  9. LOL! I have a novel about the 60’s (that I started in the 70’s) that I envisioned a soundtrack for, but not original songs, rather iconic 60’s songs. Now the technology is finally there that I could make such an ebook with links in it to cue the songs. Maybe I’ll write that. Maybe I’ll write something else.

    And, since we’re talking about selling books (BTW I bought all 3 volumes of No Man’s Land in paperback), I thought I’d describe my adventures as a newbie in putting out a physical book.

  10. Just a short anecdote for your amusement.

    My wife is addicted to Insta-Tok. And one of her favorite genres of that ilk, is video of someone waking up from anesthesia (specifically Verced), and “revealing their ‘true self’, without any filters or masks”. (For I know that the hypnotized never lie.)

    For years, she has told me how much she was looking forward to when I’d be in that state.

    Today, she got that opportunity. And it turns out that my “true self” is to serenade the recovery unit with “Strawberry Fields Forever”, and embarrass the hell out of her.

    Be careful what you wish for. (Even if it’s nothing to get hung about.)

    1. I’ve never had a report, but the last time, I had the mask on me and was waiting for the fun to start when I was told I just regained consciousness. ‘Tis the geek in me; I’d have liked to see the operation, preferably without the pain of no anesthesia. And I’d like a pet robot to do the yardwork…

      1. When I was operated, I realized what had happened because this time I had curtains to either side instead of a wall to one. I think they should have made the curtains more distinctive, to aid this.

      2. Exactly how I go under and wake up. (Nothing drastic, just the normal start at 50, every 5 years, not every 10, cause I’m “lucky”. Although last time they did say “see you in 7 years”. Go me.)

        “Count backward from 100”

        “100 …”

        “Wait it’s done?”

        Unfortunately neither hubby nor son are so lucky. Hubby not as bad as son. But son gets violently ill coming out of anesthesia, regardless of type. Precautions must be taken. I guess not that uncommon.

        1. I don’t get the anesthesia vomiting, though my mother did after a gall bladder removal. Too many decades since my appendix came out–not sure if I had trouble then, but I’ve had a general 4 times since them (all since 2019) with no problems. I think I was given Verced before a local when each of my corneas were getting buffed and polished, but beyond needing rides back to my room, I was OK. Did sleep a couple hours afterward.

          1. I’m out for the count until the next morning after I’m gotten home (baring traffic, not far). All but out in the car but without mouth piece I need to stay semi-awake. It’d be worse if I’m put on the “good stuff” for pain management. Even the OTC pain management option post procedure for more minor (dental) procedures put me out. The full “don’t drive or sign legal documents for 48 hours” is fully enforced.

        2. I’ve only had one surgery. I asked the anesthesiologist “am I supposed to count backward?” He replied, “you can, but you’d better start quickly.” “10, 9” and I woke up in a different room.

          1. Only one surgery, and that one was a local (emergency c-section). The others were all colonoscopies (start at 50, then every 10 years unless unlucky and every 5 years. I got the latter, non cancerous polyps. Last one I was “clean”, next one at 72.)

            1. I remember getting woozy for my wisdom teeth extraction. Then, that was part Novocain, part sedation. I also surfaced enough to be asked how I was, and said I was fine, in the middle, and even remember it.

  11. After his heart ablation my beloved asked the nurses,”Did I say anything about the treasure?”

    I don’t know why he worried. He’s never said anything go about it to me. <grin>.

    1. My FIL was absolutely obsessed about “did I let the horse into the orchard?” …. he had neither orchard nor horse. And never had. But he was worried he’d left the gate open.
