i'd think it's an extension of this stuff. swearing conveys realness to american millenials living in 5-over-1s in midsize cities with their labradoodles. i.e. it signals authenticity to people who have nothing to be authentic to.

yeah poets were surely the major precursor in that regard. i guess a lot of the renaissance artists as well. cellini for example apparently just went around killing people and the church was like “he’s a genius, it’s fine”

occasional nostalgia is ok but full on doomer-ism is increasingly annoying to me

found it interesting how in a lot of these recent interviews he's sort of pushing back against the somewhat more pessimistic outlooks of his (often younger) interviewers about the current/recent State of Music

"there’s still bloggers . . . oddball characters who have a bunch of esoteric interests and write these little things that are sort of somewhere between an essay and an aphorism" feel like sus and i probably fall under this umbrella

dunno, suppose i could spend even more time wandering around the office complexes near my apartment

haven’t listened to him in years, but the last two lines came to mind re: what you were saying on the last page. to me they sort of evoke what lester bangs talks about in his article about jim morrison “bozo dionysus” - this privilege rock stars have to disregard and abuse the people around them...

legendary post. increasingly i feel like the trap is more temporal than spacial. i used to think my problem was hanging out on the wrong sites. that doomscrolling twitter or especially reddit was inherently spiritually numbing. but then why did i keep coming back? i always had to grudgingly...

i used to be able to re-find this track by googling "number of islands in japan" - but then the number of islands changed, so now i just have to remember the title like it's my pin number

hard to know what to do with this topic. obviously trying to have an actual conversation is out of the question. on the other hand, letting the the lads whatsapp mafia shut it down is also out of the question. guess there's no choice but to keep posting.

plexitmind, formerly the one supporter of my lengthy autechre posts, has now switched sides. devastated.

classic lofty patrician condescention from craner

Creative echoes and extrapolations from the tape era can be found in the music of Autechre (to whom tape was “probably the best format that was ever made”). Moments of world-overlap manifest hallucinatory voices in tracks like “IO” and “Ipacial Section” (starting around 7:35). Fog of war is...

this thumbnail made me livid
