true but legumes, whole grains, and even dark greens have more than enough protein, all of which are usually cheaper than soy or textured vegetable supplements. the protein craze is out of hand, anyways, it is massively overemphasized in nutritional discourses.

a lot of it has to do with the cultivation methods, for instance i would never eat soy products made in the U.S. (and i eat along the vegan/raw spectrum.) some research indicates that non-artisan, non-fermented, mass-produced, soy products can also suppress the immune system. there are so many...

erm, i read all of cyclonopedia (during the day, mostly, at night the girlfriend would look at some of the illustrations and say 'don't go to the darkside!')... one thing that helped was realizing that if one emailed reza with questions, he would respond with almost ridiculously generous...

have thrown my hat in the ring w/ a few friends... imaginary liner notes, forged documents, music, etc: http://nonstophome.blogspot.com/

true that. the argument that people who haven't gotten into badiou or any other philosopher (or work of art, etc) are simply lazy or incurious is spurious at best. maybe it has more to do with (in part) an unequal distribution of social capital, and/or as was mentioned above, most people in the...

true but demanding scientific/empirical coherence from what is more or less a creative act is somewhat authoritarian. tbh i think that framing this conversation as oppositional isn't particularly helpful... lacan through guattari is much more like a continuum and the side-taking that happens...

poetix, this might sound like a cop out, but i'd suggest that it's not necessarily helpful to read D&G as philosophy per se... it seems like most of the qualms with D&G (and, apparently, especially guattari) revolve around their inability to eventually actualize some kind of coherent scientific...

i'm curious, craner, as to why you (and zizek, although zizek less so) think guattari was a bad influence on deleuze?

glad to see some love for radian, they are a massively underrated band. martin brandlmayr (drummer from radian) and martin siewert (another vienna improv player) have a disc 'too beautiful to burn' that is, well, what the title suggests.

the left laptop it looks a bit like it's running max/msp (only guessing based on the gray sliders in the lower-left of the interface)

chupacabra!

been making my way through the book he & anjalika sangar did on the black audio film collective... crazy lavish book and the essays & photography are quality. anyone been able to catch the otolith trilogy?

Erkin Koray?

morton feldman, of course. eliane radigue, maryanne amacher, toru takemitsu, akio suzuki, la monte young, john tilbury & eddie prevost, luciano cilio (only one record but fuck what a record). i do think that the coltranes, milford graves, pharoah sanders, ornette coleman, herbie hancock and many...

another reason to think about springing for live is that the newest version (or the new version about to come out) is a package deal with max/msp, in that you can run max within live and use the patches you build or crack in there. if you have max & protools already that might be redundant.

"On a very related note, the current cultural sea-change, not so much in it's inspirational aspects, but in the difficulties, already seem to be stirring up completely new impressions on life. A whole new tone. Like things are at stake. Like there are issues that matter. I wonder if this'll...

mmm yes i'm totally 'wrong' thank you

used to love them... but you're right on, the danger is gone. can't help but feel saddened that they finally gave in to being an indie rock band, which i had previously felt like they had managed to skirt or problematize in one way or another.

there's also kindermusik, which is kids (babies) free-improvising on prepared/specially tuned instruments. sounds a bit like the thai elephant orchestra. liner notes written by EYE of the boredoms.

having sat & drank in quite a few ayahuasca ceremonies with medicine men & women from colombia & brazil & mexico, i can easily and categorically say that it is the most intense thing i have ever experienced. you have to be careful with the package tours, there are people doing good work but...
