An Emergent Order

[version]

I did a thread on Camatte and my rather serious disagreements with him.

Yeah, he was a dickhead.

 

[version]

Because this stuff isn't an all you can eat buffet. If you want that, read sci-fi, which will always be in advance of dry political texts.

I'll read whatever I want, cheers.

not under the dictatorship over consumption you won't. we will kill nicholas.

 

[version]

I just keep reading all sorts of things and hope some order will eventually emerge from the mess. If it doesn't, at least I'll have read some things I found interesting.

sounds like conceptronica.

 

[Mr. Tea]

you're luka's dad, are you not? or are you luka's son. now that craner has vacated the premises, you understand.

Well he does seem to project a lot of frustrations he feels about his dad (or maybe about dad-figures in general, if we're being generous) onto several people who post here (or used to), including me.

I don't think so. They seem to put too much stock in the stuff they read as they get into it enough to do records about it and build a brand.

 

[Mr. Tea]

You're not going to claim to have bummed his too, are you?

No, only one person here merits that level of special treatment.

 

[version]

Because this stuff isn't an all you can eat buffet, and you engage in distortion by presenting it as such. If you want that, read sci-fi, which will always be in advance of dry political texts.

What's the distortion in this instance?

you have no plans to be the struggling artist brexiteer equivalent of Rabbit?

I remember seeing there's a producer who actually called themselves 'Bergsonist'.

Yeah, Selwa. she made a record I liked, and then I forgot about it. I don't know what that says about me or American art scenes. I may try to find it again.

She seemed ok to chat to on twitter, much easier conversationalist than bok bok.

 

[version]

I didn't listen to the records. I was too put off by the name.

are there any records you listen to in spite of the names being a turn off?

A lot of alice Coltrane titles annoy me, feels like I'm going to be listening to some shitepipe psydub or ethnotronica. Great music though, obviously.

Yeah, probably. I just rolled my eyes seeing someone called that and assumed it'd be another Boomkat kind of thing anyway and I wouldn't miss anything not listening to it.

 

[version]

I think subscribing to any set of ideas enough to start referring to yourself as an official follower of them is a mistake, also you then get lumped in with every other dickhead who subscribes to them and held partially responsible for everything that goes on under that banner.

I don't disagree, but I find it hilarious that this is @luka and @Corpsey 's criticisms of Autechre.

Corpsey likes Autechre now. He has a huge Spotify playlist of his favourite Autechre choons.

is this true? Deleuzians in the area of cultural criticism lost, then. fantastic!

Did I ever confess that I'd secretly been listening to autechre stuff and amassing a playlist of stuff i actually liked that quickly grew embarrassingly long (hence the title)?



I'm hoping posting this will at last persuade luka to come out of retirement as he dresses me down for crossing the lines like a scab into the autechre glitch factory
