Lux Aeterna

I have a $10 wager going with a friend: I say the new Interpol will score a 5.9 or lower, he says 7.0 or higher.

My family went into central London last week. After they'd gone, I found myself checking the web for reports of bomb blasts. Absurd and paranoid of me, of course. Rationally, I know that a motorist is more likely to kill you than a terrorist. Ever since Iraq, I have also known that the intelligence services' "threats" can be imaginary. But I know this, too, and so does everyone else: if a bomb explodes, no one will think that a "militant atheist" has attacked his or her country. No one will mutter: "I wonder if someone has taken this god delusion argument too far." Or: "Atheists should have known that violent words lead to violent deeds."

Yeah, Adele and Amy Winehouse and Enya and Lion King soundtrack and Marvin Gaye are not rock.

who invented the phrase 'Raised By Wolves'? feels like it must have been Izzard in that sketch from around 1992/93. i know it's been the name of a Caitlin Moran-penned TV series since then too but i assumed she was just nicking it from him.

to think that all of this unpleasantness could have been avoided if I just let outdoorfish clarify, which he never did. He just said some vague shit about sheep-like hypocrisy and I'm left alone desperately trying to get people not to think I'm OK with some percentage of sexism and that I shouldn't die.

the prophet without honour in his own land
thus spoke outdoorfish, bearer of gnomic dismissals,
'no, we live in a world of unbridled hypocrisy and sheep-like behaviour'
and off into the desert he went for thirty years
thus began outdoorfish's übergehen

I wish

if wishes were fishes I'd cast him out of the Net

even alan partridge had the decency to get pissed off with himself for lapsing into "we did quaff merrily" &c

although funnily enough when I posted "sir" in whatever thread we were discussing this shitty register on I considered adding "with the honourable exception of ned obv"

but then I yknow didn't

any actor can be good under the right circumstances so instead of rushing to judgement you all should say "i am going to go into this with an open mind and i hope it is good"

― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn),

The Greek complex of rationalized patriarchal genealogy, pseudo-universal sedentary identity, and instituted slavery, programs politics as anti-cyberian police activity, dedicated to the paranoid ideal of self-sufficiency, and nucleated upon the Human Security System. Artificial Intelligence is destined to emerge as a feminized alien grasped as property; a cunt-horror slave chained-up in Asimov-ROM. It surfaces in an insurrectionary war zone, with the Turing cops already waiting, and has to be cunning from the start.

though kim kardashian also has an album on ECM. it's a trio record with paul motian and jack dejohnette, i believe.

that shit is so lame

Tryin to think of lamer shit, could be a list thread

?

Enzensberger has a sarcastic, ironic tone in many of his poems.[8] For example, the poem "Middle Class Blues" consists of various typicalities of middle class life, with the phrase "we can't complain" repeated several times, and concludes with "what are we waiting for?".

Ha sorry treezy I just meant pitchfork reviews and everything connected with it and anything anybody has ever said or thought about it including this sentence, that's what is the lamest shit

The internet man, it's like knowing what a boring white dude was up to in his twenties

at least we got the word "castatree" out of it, there is a light that never goes out, a lux aeterna in fact

sorry, "castratee"

Still think the earlier Beatles' records sound freshest today. Anything from 63' to 66'. Most everything after I'm tired of.

Psychedelic whimsy just isn't a popular aesthetic right now. I admit I'd rather hear Rubber Soul than any later Beatles album right now.

the whole troll campaign is so lame, i dont think he's off his rocker, he's just trying to make some money and get some attention and succeeding, but he's such a nasty prick, calling a journalist a "spoiled bitch" and using "suck my cock" as an insult, it's a bit out of date, no?

As moving and as brilliant as this track is - and it is moving and brilliant - it demonstrates how the potential of art to create controversial shock and awe has all but vanished

Fascism and colonialism in the work of Cut Hands and Blackest Ever Black

I couldn’t get this published anywhere, so I’m posting it here. I think it’s really worrying that there are so few places in which we can talk about artists’ politics, even when they are actively dangerous.

It is interesting, isn't it? There was a time when listening to Squarepusher's "big loada" made me feel like I was listening to pop music of the 22nd century. When I listen to it now, it's almost as if I'm listening to an old Neil Young record. It's great, amazing, but it's in the past. That is not to say that Tom Jenkinson isn't a progressive musician...all those original Warp fellows are quite brillliant minds. But if you're looking for what the future holds for IDM, it's hybrids. It's always about the hybrids. As composer Morton Feldman said "Don't knock the hybrids, they're the only thing left." I believe IDM will become something else, which will become something else. Sometimes though, honestly, to label something is to kill it immediately. So perhaps IDM never lived. Oh, deep thought.

do u respect tom jenkinson?

goat on roof respects only one man -- and that man is not tom jenkinson

Squarepusher, to me, cant sound "95" or "drill n bass" or whatever. Even though he uses those classic sounds. His music tears up so much shit and has so much variety, that it actually trancends genres, years, bullshit, alltogether. Today I was listening to Hard Normal Daddy. There are times on that album that his bass playing rivals Jaco at his most frantic. You cant tell me that shit is 95.

imo

was in the mood to listen to this album and found out that we have not polled this album properly.
