This thread reminded me of my best band-title-conjunction joke ever (can't take all the credit: my friend Dan helped a little somehow): Sunburned Neck of the Motherfucker Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you.

Oh yeah and Sin Jung Hyun was in Add4 too, IIRC. Sorry - this is coming back to me in fits and snatches. That MOR stuff is called Trot BTW. It's still really popular, and grannies in visors dance to a techno-megacharged version of it to this day on cross-country coaches. No joke. Korea is a...

That drummer is indeed a star in Korea - he was the drummer in the country's first ever rock band, Add4. Another great Korean artist - in a totally different vein. Kim Doo Soo. Nick Drake-esque folk (and that's no coincidence). When we were in Korea a couple of years ago, we saw him live, which...

Argh I have loads of great 70s Korean croony MOR with insane synths and lounge stylings on MP3 from a friend there. How to share it, though? And then there is this:

TD. Not in this life.

Nice Machen thing, good work. Another great article I found time to read this week: http://harpers.org/blog/2012/10/monopoly-is-theft/ Covers the fascinating history of the board game Monopoly, its mechanics, its roots in anti-landlordism and its subsequent co-opting by the forces of greed and...

I have only one more thing to say about conceptual art; I fucking love Chris Burden and particularly everything he did in the 1970s.

You good people nailed art speak. One more thing: this book covers many of the area's contradictions and peculiarities and, in fact, did so when most of them emerged way back when. It appears prophetic now since a lot of these concerns have made an impact on the popular consciousness in the...

Tangentially, I know business-speak has been discussed here off and on... "Blue sky thinking" and all that... but art-speak seems to me to be way more nebulous and Orwellian. mistersloane is a meta-master of it rather than a victim, but I have one other artist friend who (how to put it?) hasn't...

But were you shocked or provoked by either?

If afternoon tea is the true essence and substance of middle class I will take a blood oath to remain true to the doctrine and never waver. Had the best one yet in the Clipper Lounge a fortnight ago surrounded by cunts brokering manufacturing deals and import/export exclusivities.

Reminds me... I love it when people talk about haemorrhaging in any financial context. What a great-looking word that is.

Did like the one about Bukem's manager. There used to be a whole host of shitty programmes about drum and bass on TV in the mid 90s. Usually on Channel 4 at 3am. And I had to be up for my paper round at 7. That seems a superhuman feat to me now. Great one...

Let me know how you get on with those... Another thing I wanted to mention that isn't really similar-sounding, but overshadows that whole area of music, would be this: Tony Conrad With Faust - Outside The Dream Syndicate...
