    Why Conspiracy Theories?

    i agree to an extent, forensic detail and laborious legal appeals are obviously very boring. but we've all read our kodwo eshun and all listened to our drexciya and so we can all understand how thrusting these mundane events into a wide lense mythological plane can give you a much clearer...

    Why Conspiracy Theories?

    it does feel like the more middlebrow stuff is a relatively recent addition, something in between "respectable" investigative journalism on the contras or cia narcotrafficing and traditional crop circle paedo material. its especially weird, ive got an uncle who i think basically abandoned his...

    Choon of the Day

    i got all miserable and heartbroken cos the person im still in love with has started seeing someone taller and richer, and apparently they have a massive cock, but this song immediately popped into my head and its really sorted things out

    Decline

    the closing months of 1920 marked the first entertainment radio broadcasts, the 100 year cycle is at a close, hence the virus

    Decline

    its entirely to do with the decline of radio thats why the last period anyone on youtube is allowed to get nostalgic about is grime. with centralised broadcasting technologies like radio transmission or the postal system people could hijack them with pirate stations and mail art communiques to...

    Austin Osman Spare

    thats wicked, and the point about replicating someones magic is crucial. some of his drawings that stuck with me are the distended celeb portraits he started making, and again its interesting to consider him grow up through the electronic revolution. he was immediately aware of the occult power...

    Austin Osman Spare

    danny if you could, what are some of the things you got out of the writings? people are understandably always reticent to talk about their own magic but i couldn't get into his prose at all, i dont know anything about crowley or the context but it felt off putting

    Austin Osman Spare

    i cant really remember the phil baker book too well but i agree with danny about him not giving any credit to the madcap ravings. although they do include some snippets and i tried to print out and read the book of pleasure a while ago and just thought, austin osman spare me. whats weird about...

    Music you are prejudiced against

    as far as pre-free jazzy jazz goes i suppose i rarely listen to it these days but it provides a framework for pushing the limits of human athleticism thats infinitely preferable to say ynwie malmstein style nerd rock. although i suppose it became codified into a framework in that sense after a...

    When are you an interesting writer?

    but in any case the drive can be partially understood as an early years response to authority, often a spiteful one. which confuses the idea of an "instinctive reaction" to create things later on in life.

    When are you an interesting writer?

    well i dont know i think some people do get persuaded just at the age of two or three or whatever. or rather they dont get talked out of it. one way of looking at it is i had encouraging parents who patted me on the head when i did a drawing and so on, and after long enough you develop enough of...

    When are you an interesting writer?

    the trouble with putting weight on your "natural" abilities like this, "you have to be obsessed" etc, is that you ignore the fact that a good deal of your environment is dedicated to not inspiring you to care about any of these things whatsoever. anyone who wakes up and says with a straight...

    Who are the best music journalists currently/ever?

    no you had to be really careful with this bloke not to encourage him, he'd start making up stories about seeing the sex pistols at the 100 club otherwise, very dangerous individual

    Who are the best music journalists currently/ever?

    yeah the danger is that you end up hectoring kids with standards that expired decades ago, like my secondary school art teacher insisting to all the girls that he liked beyonce but she would sound much better with real drums
