i think that's part of the problem Fisher wanted to address. The Weird and the Eerie was an alternative exploration of the same sentiment in very different aesthetic contexts. that's sort of the issue i have with Gilbert being all like, "mark basically plagiarised me". he'd been interested in...

Been really curious about Hari's book. Heard good things so far — a review I read the other day, can't remember where, really sold it.

i think this is part of the problem of what has happened to culture more recently, and related to the ccru question. when psychedelia is conflated with conspiracy theory and hotboxing a podcast studio with tech billionaires, i'd say that shows how the psychedelic is in crisis. i've tried to...

lol! what version said. but i suppose what all the people involved in the ccru shared was having their fingers collectively on the pulse of the moment they lived in. and a sort of twisted monastic vibe where people were collectively engaged in cultural production that is hard to imagine taking...

Maybe. That's what I was thinking when I wrote 'Egress' but I'm not as inclined to think that anymore, mostly because we're not in that moment. In the cloud of political and personal grief that defined 2017 for me (Mark's death; Trump's election; Grenfell; continued Tory dominance), it felt like...

Jeremy Gilbert and others have done a lot of work on it and "Acid Corbynism", but it has far more in common with Gilbert's interests than Mark's own. To be honest, I don't think there's enough out there in the world for anyone to really think with it productively. That's what I'd like to do, if...

Never heard of him. Quite interested in poetry but it's a very new interest. Been trying to write something on it today actually. Never liked poetry before but it started to click for me very recently, and quite late in the day.

i think it's an interesting project and a much-needed one. it could certainly function as a decent and rigorous counter-movement to the impotence of "cancel culture" discourse. but the point of it is to inaugurate a collective subject and that's always what i've wanted to emphasise, along with...

a project for the instantiation of a new "group consciousness" that combines psychedelic consciousness with class consciousness. probs

did the last one ever really end?

my current girlfriend and i have a joint bank account.

Yes, this really must happen. All this gussing is bad form for a site otherwise renowned for its gentle conduct. Just say no to this verbal wicker-manning.

Bit harsh on teenage girls, that.

Is this what you kids are listening to over here these days? I'm on an autechre only diet in 2020, sorry.

Yes.

He converted to Catholicism. It wasn't my fault.

Me. All other pseuds bow before me. If they don't, I'll say mean things before eventually seeing the error of my ways and apologising a few months later. Truly, it is my ability to eventually at some point probably see the error of my ways that positions me above the chaff.

Me neither. I can't imagine anyone who would!

I like how you changed "intelligent" to "perspicacious". Nice.

Jeremy Gilbert did that apparently.
