Born Under Saturn is pretty cool but it gets kind of same-y. It’s definitely more of a wunderkammern kind of thing than something really thesis-driven, except the wunderkammern is only full of really sad dudes going wild.
Thanks for the heads up! I’m pretty sure Sad Dudes Going Wild is the new Girls Gone Wild though so I’ll wanna get on that trend while it’s...
“When was super depressed, I wasn’t working—I was always too depressed. Hemingway...”
– In an interview with The Fix, Mary Karr debunks the toxic mythology that it is necessary to be damaged in order to be creative. My own vehement defiance to that mythology is what led me to choose Ray Bradbury – the ultimate epitome of creating from joy rather than suffering – as the subject of my...

Embarrassing--
trying to eat an ice cream cone that melts faster than you can eat it. The struggle is saddeningly real. Now I know what Hades is like

dude i luuuuuve the carpentersss
I’ve liked a couple of their songs for a while now, but until today I hadn’t really listened to their music — then I was like “hmm, maybe I should listen to Close to You” and now things are getting pretty...

DIVINE POTENTIAL ignites the “journey” from “POSSIBILITY” through “the METAPHYSICAL” onward through “REALITY” and onward through ever-ascending levels of “CONSCIOUSNESS” and presumably toward INFINITE DIVINE EXTRAORDINARIATION

katherinestasaph:
“The press and public have been incredibly eager to unpack all the philosophy and radical social themes allegedly imbued in Shaking the Habitual. This mostly comes from an interview the duo did with Pitchfork late last month where they spent almost the entire conversation detailing all the queer, feminist, and alternative political ideas that influenced the...

Dan Deacon
Sorry, just can’t do it. I want to like his music but for some reason I find it really standoffish. (I only say this because I’m finally listening to James Pants for real and am sort of into his way of piling up eclectic source material and hulk-smashing it — which Dan Deacon does, except I feel like he’s less into letting things breathe and is more about, like, Youtube...

The Poetics of Process
uutpoetry:
Yesterday I quoted Altieri on Ashbery:
> “There is no aesthetic pursuit of form or transcendence in early Ashbery; rather, his is the ontology of aesthetic seeking to reverse the Romantic dream of erasing art so nature will stand clear. His goal is a life of process not of forms, but process is most freely and complexly experienced within the self-referring, though not necessarily...

There is a sound
that I hear in a lot of 80s and 90s productions, or at least I somehow remember having heard in 80s and 90s productions. Some variation of it — this polysynth-saw sound that moves in lock-step, jazz-tinged harmonic intervals — has cropped up a few times in things I’ve listened to recently and I want to know more about it. Does it have a history or anything like that? Even if...

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air has some really potent commentary on racialized police brutality like damn
Pritch and I have a whole thing about theorizing Fresh Prince especially as the 90s answer to the bourgeois Reagan era multiculturalism of The Cosby Show

britticisms:
Something about how I have been called “white” because I am a writer. Something about how I have been called “white” because of what I write about, because I write about race in weird ways and because I will also not write about race at all. There is a photo of me attached to my stories. This does not matter. Black people do not write about their lives. Other people write about...
