°Self-experiment

August 27, 2008




Meme-wise, and to celebrate my escape, if only temporary, from Manticor. (Ok, that final denouement is not from the film (stoopid remix), but everyone knows how it goes The Manticor reference is, of course, from elsewhere, but not at all unrelated.)

°More strings and brass

June 19, 2008

I can do that - but it seems easier to point to the playlist, which is a fairly good index of what’s in the earbuds, and on repeat. Besides the mixtape posts, I mean. But just let me add this track, which requires more than one click to get to:

Nina Simone - Take care of business (Pilooski Edit)

If you’ve read this far, you’re tagged.

°Fck Descartes, let’s dance

June 16, 2008

Sometimes I come across a track that says it all - or what seems like all for me in that moment, reminds me of something very particular, about music, memory, remixing, repetition and riffing, of the indistinction between mind and body, of the proprioceptic and the temporal.

°Gaping wounds

June 11, 2008

Yes, spoilers - if you’ve not watched ‘The Hub’, rewind. Or throw caution to the wind. **[Spoilers for episodes 9 and 10, season 4]**

°Stateporn

May 26, 2008

A couple of days ago, police in Sydney seized 20 of 41 photographs - of which the above is one - from Bill Henson’s exhibition, and are launching criminal proceedings under the Child Protection Act. A fuller account of the debates which have ensued at slackbastard.

I am not, however, interested in defending Henson’s work on the grounds that it’s ‘art not pornography’, as have most.

°autoreply

May 20, 2008

Ok, so I have yet to catch up on the last three episodes of Battlestar Galactica, though they sit there waiting to be watched. So don’t even try and talk to me about them, here or anywhere else. Sure, I’ve seen those heightened searches for galactica+hybrid. I know there’s something afoot. But fatigued does not make for enjoyable screengazing. So, if anyone even hints at what’s happened I will hunt them down and kill their enjoyment. In everything they’ve heretofore found joy in. Just saying …

Autoreply switched off; all posts are mortal. Or, spoil away, below the fold, if so inclined.
