Here is a bad copy, with Spanish subtitles to boot, in its glorious full-length of seven hours and a half. https://archive.org/details/Deleuze

I have been watching his abécédaire lately: often and unexpectedly quite funny, but rendered bittersweet by the knowledge of his suicide shortly afterwards. I wonder why he did not clip his nails, though.

Heinz von Foerster wrote rather extensively about them throughout his career. I should verify but it wouldn't surprise me that much of it is contemporary to V (late fifties, early sixties). I got the square root example from him: That is how I understood eigen values: as the (paradox) of a...

Apologies for my glob-English and bad grammar. I am rather sure that’s what Eigenvalues are though. The most banal, but clearest example is taking the square root of an arbitrary number, then taking the square root of the outcome until you obtain stable value, ie 1. The concept was a minor hit...

Because an Eigenvalue is the value one becomes when an operation is applied to itself, ad infinitum, I would guess. Reminds me a bit of Faust, who was nauseated by the stream of finite representations (of representations of representations, etc aka culture) and begs the devil to bring him to the...

I am completely unfamiliar with all this stuff. It was a rather nice surprise to find out there is a droning quality to it -at least to my foreign, non-native ears- which is strangely soothing. Especially the Musty freestyle was notable, although I wouldn't call it fire exactly.

I'll bite. According to my player, this year I listened most (>10) to - Kuniyuki Takahashi: Early Tape Works 1986 - 1993 Vol. 2 - Pender Street Steppers: Pender Street Steppers - Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement: Ambient Black Magic - Thomas Köner: Daikan - Identified Patient: Weeshuis der...

Trump, Putin and now maybe Boris Johnson. Add to that Salvini as the actual strongman of the Italian government and half of the G8, if it were still in place, ends up in the hands of these muppets.

https://soundcloud.com/dkmntl/phuong-dan-at-lente-kabinet-festival-2018 Phuong Dan is one of the biggest surprises I have come across in long time. Some absolute and often unexpected gems in here.

Well, rather than real outspoken judgements, its very much an internalised pressure on my behalf. :) Faithful is well-chosen word to describe the relevance of that Cooking section. I have to admit I became myself as well an acolyte of the stuff they put out. Which is rather intruiging to many...

Just saw The Cleaners, an Arte documentary on the moderators of western social media outsourced to the Fillipines. It's quite something and certainly worth watching.

Hear, hear. The best solution, I discovered, is to cook yourself: cook slightly more than necessary and bring the left-overs to work. The social pressure to not bring something completely unsightable to work improved my cooking considerably. The NYTimes Cooking section has a wonderful...

Dan Hancox' (of former Dissensus fame, no?) new book on grime is really well written. Liking it alot.

A masterpiece, this one.

"Sick and tired of being sick and tired (The holiday remixes)"

This is what I imagine hell to be.

In case you haven't read it yet, there has been an entertaining long-read in the NYTimes about John Kidd: an academic once famed as the greatest Joyce scholar ever, who started talking to birds and then disappeared. I am fond of people able to lose their minds about the correct punctuation of...

I don't know if you like hiking, but if you do Corsica's GR20 makes for a cheap and wonderful holiday. If you go from south to north, instead of the more popular north-south, you can avoid most of the other hikers during the day. If you fancy Italy, Lampedusa could be a very interesting...
