i guess its easy, especially if youre 11, to make a political virtue out of something that just comes more naturally to you than others. the anti racist sentiment and the desire to be a good boy are different i suppose

"balls" is relative though, if you are naturally more inclined to alienate people and stew in misery it doesnt take as much balls to do that. not to take anything away from boxed joy ofc

i'd like to think i am as principled as that, i think a lot of the time in the past i have probably overidentified with the "feeling difficult" part at the expense of being right productively. i used to tell my mates off in school for racist jokes but it mainly resulted in fewer mates and more...

when i did a stint as a teaching assistant i worked with this genius 6 year old who constantly fucked off everyone at the school. there is a psychological profile "pathological demand avoidance" that educational psychs use to advise people working with certain kids like that. the only "success"...

one of the reasons i ploughed through this shit book was that it articulated what i imagine is a very common sense of disappointment with the "art world" that has, despite this books hilarious historical limitations, surely intensified since the 70s. it gave me a visionary taste of sophisticated...

I have been reading this book art an enemy of the people by roger taylor. I really liked it when I first read it because, although for a long time I’d felt that the idea of art was suspicious and evil, it gave a scope and framework i hadnt put my finger on to a lot of things that had been...

haha i got this the other day for 50p and was gonna make this exact thread... not readdressing the heavy bones bias but oh well

he describes the word of god as a control variable measured against those varying technologically mediated states. that catholics have nothing to fear from changes in the media of communication as the word of god is not the king james bible, that human perception / the incarnation incarnate is...

i went to see dennis bovell give a talk a few years ago, and first of all he is one of the best raconteurs to ever do it, and he had a really good bit where he was talking about recording with joss stone and she suddenly wanting to ad lib the line "excuse me while i light my spliff", his face...

but theres also the lack of crippling self awareness and the sense of a grubby, alien, smoking on the tube world that has always seemed magical and compelling to people born too late to live in the real world

i guess my fantasy idea of what the aesthetic blueprint was for a lot of that sort of late 70s 80s industrial freakout period seems really quaint, it just seems tied up with a cartoon idea of avant garde art, like mark heaps character in spaced. mildewed bare floorboards in an old meat packing...

you cant even be a renegade cycle courier now youve got to do deliveroo

well yes its classic middle aged lazy wisdom borne from property right comfort, the underground got a mortgage and gave up the fight etc.

ive had this on all weekend, theres 15 seconds which is the most beautiful music ive ever heard. the rest is okay. the main guy involved is called jonathan price, he had a band called software who sound a bit like a herky jerky cold war thatcher version of ween. some of his music was used for a...

the other thing would be that extending a sense in this sense incurs a reciprocal sensory debt; the decline of an oral culture in the wake of the printed word, not being able to remember your address because of too much google maps etc. an omelette does not demand the same pound of collective...

i got the same one, so did spider man

its dialectical like an idealistic supply teacher

see but you'd never have figured that out without the test

reading the descriptions and watching the vloggers can be helpful though, it can make helpful connections in a similar way to people who are very knowlegable and entertaining about astrology.
