    How has burial dated for you?

    His influence on dance music and pop can’t be overstated, right up to the weeknd and Fred again. But it’s a bad influence. A kind of hazy insipid melancholy. In his own tunes he offsets that with harshness and odd arrangements and surprise but when it’s distilled to the burial formula it’s sickly

    The Media Controls Your Mind

    yes I go into this in the conspiracy thread. That most people approach the problem as informational but it’s rooted in the emotional (both really, information and it’s excess as pain and a certain kind of information and storytelling as opiate) the addiction model applies. Luke repeatedly tries...
