Who buys copies of anything? You are a better person than I am.

You mean self-published mysteries like the stuff from YouWriteOn.com? Yeah I know someone who published a mystery novel on there.

I would tend to agree with Craner that the best thing to do if you want a career is to get an agent. Agents have a stake in the game and so they have an interest in selling you to people. It's how people get far in music/show biz, too. Agents make the calls and figure out who'd give you the time...

That's a good article, droid. Only problem is, many Americans feel exactly as the author does... it's just that our media is so disproportionately powerful and owned by these interests (like the gun lobby and its defenders), we really have no fighting chance of returning to reasoned debate and...

True...Deleuzian monism (which some would say is a misnomer) is important to his later stuff with Guattari.

Always been huge in NYC among teh gays...

They are what happens when the indie set decide to float Bono and U2 downmarket to the more sophisticated kids who are too cool for FM radio.

K-punk, obvs.

Exxaccctlyyy. (I sure hope I never said that to you, btw. I used to be a lot like that.) Yours and Sloane's posts together go straight to the heart of why, I think, D&G (esp G) are ultimately distasteful to a certain sort of academic philosopher, to the academic establishment of...

The Three Ecologies has been one I've gone back to now and again for the past couple of years, as I have to Soft Subversions. I just downloaded Molecular Revolutions, and I'm just thirty pages in, but already I can say it's an absolute must-read if you're interested in Deleuze's work with...

I always wondered if maybe grime failed to get big because of a sort of culture thing in Britain (and I could be way off here) where people (young men) don't like you when you're big. So the things people on your side think are special, their underground musics, they guard pretty fiercly. I...

Speaking of Clipse, I know it's a big old cliche for white people who went to college to like them or whatever, but I would put "Grindin" a few slots above "Big Pimpin" and about a thousand above any frickin Annie song...guh. Also Sloane, urite: the conspicuous absence of Kylie (and Sean Paul...

It's better when black folk make somber, thoughtful, chin-stroking jazz-influenced "legitimate" tunes that avoid the identity politics of the ghetto or depictions of hedonistic fun. White people, on the other hand, can shred and sing about banging groupies or partying the night away. That's...

God fucking damn it I shouldn't have clicked on that. I knew I shouldn't have done it. I even like Hercules and Love Affair ok, but number 18 in the top 10 of the 00s? WTF. Annie? Two LCD Soundsystem tracks?? I can't. even. pretend. not. to. hate. these. people. They remind me of the fuckers I...

Yeah I really like this stuff on youtube. It reminds me of the things I like about house and the things I like about some of those minimal/Kompakt guys (without the stuff I don't like). Cool person, too.

Funny the absurd verbal/conceptual contortions people will twist themselves into in an effort to barely encode their anti-semitism. How the British come to stand in for the Twelve Money-Lending Heebs in a Smoke Filled Room is beyond me. (I suppose the British involvement in forming an Isreali...

Views of Lyndon LaRouche. How someone gets from the SDS to this is hard to imagine.

Haha, marry Hugo Chavez with a transmale minister officiating, then have a televised orgy with Bill and Hil, Nancy Pelosi, ACORN volunteers, and the former heads of Frannie and Freddie to celebrate. I'd never seen much of Frank till I randomly caught some episodes of Bill Maher's show where he...

Barney Frank tells one of them off.

Yup...me too :)
