That reads a bit like a simple version of the body-scan from the MSBR program http://www.suite101.com/content/mindfulnessbased-stress-reduction-a112971 I have done the body-scan several times and the effect it has is quite positive, the feeling of being centered and focused but not...

I think some of my favourites were originally collected in Bestiario, Final de Juego and Todos los fuegos el fuego, but I don't know how they are collected in English. I have a German edition that has them all in four volumes and there are good ones in all of them.

Yes, I meant more his short stories.

Try Cortazar, I came to him exactly the same way, after Borges and Calvino. And good to know that GGM and other full-blown magic realists are quite different.

A bit like finding out that Johnny Ramone was really a fan of Reagan ..., doesn't really change anything but "huh, how does that fit together"

Some music I have made has been released recently. It's a c42 tape that was put out be the nice people who released the very fine 3x12" Weevil Series by an anonymous artist last year. Here's the discogs entry of the release. The review in Vital Weekly says that it's "a free-flow improvised stab...

Well, I wouldn't call that "so many" ;) I don't think the conservative ratio is much higher than among film makers or something like that. But Bagge? Even if "libertarian" isn't what I'd consider a "right-wing extremist", I wouldn't have guessed that. Anyway, just read some Baru the other day...

When it comes to magic realism I've only read Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortazar (and like them both a lot), but I fail to imagine how you could make something like that in a twee manner.

Do they? :eek: I wasn't aware of a trend. Do you have some more examples?

ahaha :D

What is the exact difference between nostalgia and nice memories?

I know these and think they're quite good: http://www.discogs.com/Gamelans-Degung-Enip-Sukanda-Java-Pays-Sunda-Musiques-Savantes-2-LArt-Du-Gamelan-Degung/release/1916612 http://www.discogs.com/Gamelan-Semar-Pegulingan-Saih-Pitu-The-Heavenly-Orchestra-Of-Bali/release/1553912...

Also his other new album, 'Remain', so good. Mathieu can do no wrong for me. Re: Marcus Schmickler, I recently played his duo with Thomas Lehn again, Kölner Kranz. It has nothing to do with music that sounds like Ehlers/Fennesz etc., but it's just perfect, had me on the edge of my seat for the...

Ware's art is a bit retro in the sense that he references modernist graphic design a lot. Personally I think he is great, but I understand how it all can be seen as too tasteful. Incidentally he has done illustration work for the New Yorker several times

Any opinions on Asterios Polyp? There's a lot of praise for it, but I also heard the opinion that behind all the style and cleverness it's rather empty. Yesterday I finished Autoroute du Soleil by Baru, the story of two young men, one of them an arab, who are hunted by a nazi through France...

I havn't read All Star Superman myself because I'm not really into the cape stuff, but it's supposed to be really good, and it's drawn by Frank Quitely. Speaking of Tardi, he's great on so many levels. Adele is probably my all-time favourite superheroine. Which ones did you read? I'm a bit...

I know what you mean. In the end it's just a whole field of people who took the noise of overdriven guitars and used it to make something that's neither rocking-out-rock nor Noise with a capital N. Re: copying Fennesz, there's a track on a recent Kevin Drumm CDR titled 'This Sounded Like A Bad...

I wouldn't say it's just Fennesz, although there are obviously similarities in the sound. For me 'Endless Summer' is mostly a music for guitar and laptop, that's loaded with nostalgia, emotion triggered by memories, whereas 'Love Is A Stream' is much more in the emotional now, blazing...
