Dr. Tarr & Prof. Fether Blinded Me With Science -- Thomas Dolby vs Alan Parsons Mashup (restored version)

I always liked Edgar Alan Poe's works so it just seemed to jell with Alan Parson's Dr. Tarr & Professor song. Another song and video I liked was Thomas Dolby's She Blinded Me With Science. All three just went together like a dream within a dream with a touch of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. This is the “restored” version, but it probably won't make Turner Classic Movies anytime soon.

I occasionally review or editorialize on commercial items or movies and these are my personal editorial opinions. This is a non-commercial website and I neither take money nor have advertisements on my blog, although I have no control over the sidebars or popups that a host may place here (against my will) or appearing on your computer via your host.

I am by no means a historian, professional critic or scholar, but rather more of a commentator, with a good portion of my text appearing as comments on other person's blogs. I explore things that interest me and think that a few of you out there would enjoy also.

Other than quoted copyrighted text or items used to illustrate a point, I make use of public domain items, lapsed copyright items (in the USA), and those items under the Creative Commons License and the Fair Use Doctrine.

I use images from the internet and other sources as well as my own photography or images used by specific permission where a copyright is shown. If you have a copyright issue with an image, proving ownership, I will remove it, if it does not meet the Creative Commons License requirement or the Fair Use Doctrine. I try to be reasonable in all matters, if you have an issue, contact me.

I allow comments and generally have a laissez-faire attitude to free speech, understanding that it is your personal opinion, although I reserve the right to remove posts for cause.

I generally avoid politics and religion, outside of historical or literary context, and do not post sexual or sexualizing themes. This is a family-friendly site and safe for work.

Part of the reason for this blog is to interest people in books and literature. In that pursuit I list links for free downloads of out of copyright books in the hope that this will foster a wider range of reading as well as simply get people reading more in general. I support literacy groups for beginners for for adult literacy.
