    Sciences and humanities : ne'er the twain shall meet?

    the superposition could resolve itself classically by suggesting that quantum theory did not inform early computer science (theory) in a conceptual fashion analagous to its co-option within the writings of [ ] and had to content itself simply with faciliating transistors, a paltry end...

    Relearning language

    that is surprising, i got 90-100% in all of my gcse german papers and i could hardly understand it even then, the standard was so low (der hund ist gut, ich habe zwei eier, etc etc) a few weeks ago i thought i'd have another go but i couldn't find a lot to of non literary stuff that i'd want to...

    hadouken / problem of appropriation / hot topic MERGED

    sickboy and nomos good on this btw the difference between my thoughts and theirs would be that white kids may be able to do their own fake grime qua grime, and it might not be shit (this is completely theoretical!) that is, the sound of grime is not the possession of anyone, although the...

    hadouken / problem of appropriation / hot topic MERGED

    there is no good 'indie' and nothing good can come from trying to syncretise it with other genres, or as is usually the case appending a few affectations supposed to give the lustre of otherness difficult to talk of specific instances, and hadouken for all i know may be an exception, however...

    Jean Baudrillard Did Not Die

    Finally, I've noticed a trend in this thread for anyone who supports any thinker under attack to say "well they're not really a woman at all". If Irigaray isn't a woman, then what is she? Why do opponents of women attack her? Does that mean it has become a dirty word, that no-one really wants to...

    Ariel Pink

    that was the point, i suppose the strokes have a glint in their eyes suggestive of a self awareness that escapes common or garden uk student indie and the contempt this engenders is the only interesting thing about them this reminded me of a fantastic post on the seemingly defunct (sadly) it...

    Ariel Pink

    the enervating thing about the strokes is how they are symptomatic of the complacent fauxhemian (as sonic youth would say, implicating themselves just a little) effluent clogging up the pop scene, none of them actually saying they're poor as their pr can disseminate images of slovenly desuetude...

    Ariel Pink

    the strokes are probably the epitome of flagrant nepotism and how good pr can conceal it or at least attenuate it as an issue those cunts have a lot to answer for, in so many ways

    Ariel Pink

    and if they're shit, then you can hold it against them (see all shit uk public school indie)

    Ariel Pink

    the line in that la weekly article i copied (cashing father's cheque) was hilarious, again the rich kid thing shouldn't be an issue unless there is an attempt to conceal it and/or they're clearly feeding off nepotism within the industry

    Ariel Pink

    that's nice, though apparently ariel pink has been writing and recording songs since he was very young (10yrs olds or something), and at that time analog taping was the only available process this has very little do with why i like this stuff this seems to be some intra indie polemic shit...

    Ariel Pink

    and? there isn't a lot of love for ariel from the american indie scene afaik (those who assumedly loved gbv, and now buying shit like sufjan/newsom/arcade fire) and the home taping thing seems to be the product of necessity (somewhat fetishized), completely unrelated to the 90s indie fixation...

    Ariel Pink

    that is what i used to think, after a time it's easier to neglect the affectations everyone writing about him highlights los angeles (or california more generally), the eternal nowness of the entropic centre of the trash/pop universe and all of that ariel p's talent is to be able to shift...

    Wikipedia and Music

    how many regular visitors does woebot get? i wonder if it would suffice their 'notability' criteria for writing an article about it a few months ago i was reading the discussion page for 'hauntology', the consensus seems to have been to get rid of it as it wasn't sufficiently clear or popular
