charles cohen "a retrospective" 2cd comp on morphine records, so good. weird but highly listenable modular synth stuff from the 70s-80s.
Punk legend Viv Albertine, guitarist in the most subversive 70s punk group of them all - The Slits, tells Channel 4 News that music has become 'bread and circus entertainment'.
i thought her biography sounded interesting, but she doesn't come across well there. just another old person reminiscing about the days when 'music meant something'...
Effective Altruism is part subversive, part conformist: subversive in its radical egalitarianism and its critique of complacent privilege; conformist in that it’s another force channeling us towards the traditional success model. The altruistic Übermensch is a hard-working money mover, a clean-cut advocate or a brilliant innovator of utility-improving devices or ideas. As usual, creative types are ignored if their ideas aren’t lucrative or if they don’t support a favoured ideology. Crass materialism and ethical anti-materialism now seem to share identical means: earning money or rephrasing the ideas of others. But there are plenty of people drawn to the media and the arts who care about making the world better. For them to accept the EA position will often require that they give up what they love to do most. What do EAs say to that? For the most part, they say ‘tough’.
