Anyone know of a blog or website that provides updates with new Calls for Papers, conferences, etc.? Ideally in the areas of literature, film, or new media, with a strong slant toward continental theory citations. It seems like I'm always late to the party, so to speak.The Continental Philosophy...

But considering the man's lifestyle, it's pretty extraordinary that he would live to 84. Excellent interview here where Burroughs says psychedelics are more dangerous than heroin. Kind of weird to hear that from someone who was probably one of the first hundred or so Westerners to try ayahuasca...

This is an (extreme) example of why, if Viagra or Cialis don't work, you should just give up. Move on. Stick a fork in it. Find some other way to achieve pleasure. FFS, toad venom? And here I am with the opposite problem.

Until a few weeks ago, I didn't drink any coffee - not a single drop - for at least 3-4 years. The reason being that I have a hyper-sensitivity to it: one cup in the morning keeps me up all night. But I can drink as furiously as I want now, as my shrink recently hooked me up with a...

Let's say global warming reaches a point where it is irreversible (this may already be the case). Is anyone working on technologies to reverse its effects? I don't mean preventive "Green" tech like hybrid cars or solar cells, I mean something more along the lines of terraforming, changing the...

fuckin' Roy Orbison

my god it's a veritable surfeit. gracie.

I love this guy, kind of like Daniel Johnston meets Shepherd Fairey... maybe some R. Crumb thrown in as well.

stoners? Canadians? oh wait... :D off topic but: Are there any noteworthy Canadian hip hop acts? Or are they too stoned to figure out which end of the mic to rap into? all in good fun... none of that ultranationalist Candian fury, please.

yacht ballad-pop? It wouldn't be possible for C&T to do something that wasn't yacht. heh, the moog solo sounds like a cassette tape fast-forwarding. And what's up with those kind-of-creepy muskrat-bear-mouse things dancing around? I'd be willing to wager C&T had a fursuit fetish.

it wouldn't be yacht without some Monkey Magic

i enjoyed cloverfield, it felt real, at least in terms of the perspective, i hope to god people like those in the film don't really exist. but there was a smooth continuity between the live action and the cg monsters, accentuated by the blair witch-style perspective, and the sound was fantastic...

sad news, probably the best collagist since Schwitters

The Proteus episode is perilous indeed, few survive its waters! (sorry just watched Family Guy and I have the no-limbed pirate's voice in my head). Few make it past Proteus, fewer make it past Wandering Rocks, which signals a total shift in Joyce's compositional style, which becomes obscenely...

image + marketing = music :D

The Dada Reader: A Critical Anthology edited by Dawn Ades Includes translations of DADA poetry (surprsingly good!) and various texts and manifestos from the Dada journals, including the original DADA journal, plus 391 (Picabia's project), Der Dada, Litterature, Cannibale, Merz... many others...

What happened to Woebot? I read a post on his blog earlier this year where he said he was taking a break from the Internet. But I'm kind of surprised he hasn't returned by now. And why doesn't K-Punk post here anymore???

The Black Hollies... I know they're retro, they basically copy Barrett-era Floyd and late 60's psychedelic garage bands (The Seeds for example), but I just enjoy this music. Or I'll put it this way: I think they do justice to the genre, they pull it off. http://www.myspace.com/theblackhollies

haha thanks for this, i should've said 'i couldn't have more contempt for music critics.' also: Arcade Fire is absolute dreck. No one likes Arcade Fire (except David Bowie!). When will Pitchfork realize this?!
