Anyone else read the blissblog post from 12/20? REALLY loved this idea of taking the old "h" word one step further than sonics and laying it thick on the whole Ipod-culture, where music has leaped one evolutionary lightyear further in the process of "dematerializing"--the Ipod culture, rather than being about the oed-Ipod, is about acceleration (LOVE positing Virilio here and ditching D&G and most of Derrida) and the machinegheist.
Afterall, how can capital constrain the immaterial, spectral demi-presences, etc.? There is no object anymore. There is nothing capital can do without the fetish object readyathand.
Postscripted: Couldnt' help but think about this in terms of psycho-pharmacology, my obsession, and I was thinking about Virilio of The Information Bomb, and speed, and how probably 80% or more of my friends are prescribed adderall (dextroamphetamine) XR and have been for years. Some find it the only way to function after they fried their brains raving in the early/mid-90s when faaarr too young to neurologically sustain the damage imo.
