I think B&S made one legitimately great album -- <i>If You're Feeling Sinister</i> -- but sure, if you're not into fey music about social outcasts dealing with naive sexuality and the cruelty of the world, stay away. Though I should say that I think B&S get pidgeonholed/misrepresented all the...

re: knifed speaker cones, I know that Dave Davies did this for songs like "You Really Got Me," but maybe the Beatles did, too. I like Congotronics 2 pretty well, and I think that the DVD is a great thing to have to get a sense of context that is absent in the first set (and an absence that I...

A friend of mine who is fairly into RSM suggested I check out <a href="http://www.eastvillageradio.com/displayshow.php?showname=The%20Steveo%20Show&date=01.13.06" target="_blank">this show on East Village Radio</a> to get a decent introduction. I guess it's a sort of "retrospective," but should...

Hah, and now I've gone and read k-punk/(Derrida)/((Buse, P., & Scott, A.)) "However, the ghost cannot be properly said to belong to the past, even if the apparition represents someone who has been dead for many centuries, for the simple reason that a ghost is clearly not the same thing as the...

I've never posted on dissensus, but after realizing that this was where the hauntology thing would be incubating (for lack of a better word), I felt forced to register. I like the "memoradelia" thing but I get this feeling that maybe it traps things too much in terms of time, makes it too...
