RIP to Cronos. The genre quickly outpaced Venom long before I was even born, but when I watch early performances from a time before rock and roll and metal had diverged trajectories, I understand just what it meant to actually be scary and evil youtu.be/0u-qmfUFeXI?...

pretty incredible video of a Zizek talk back in March where he clearly seems to be struggling with the idea of the US no longer serving it's traditional role in the world system www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAXB...

Amazon cancelled my 4K blu ray player order despite the item being in stock—it seems they couldn’t find it. Walmart is the only other retailer who carries it at this point. The walls are closing in folks

Latest @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social w/the best review of Anton Jäger’s Hyperpolitics so far. IMO the key is that you also need to be burnt out from posting to get the stakes of the argument; many negative reviews are still hooked on the lure of posting as praxis podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Rejecting* the man telling him what to do I mean that wasn’t worded well

I do! He’s not coherently ideological in a partisan sense. Like other 80s thrash metal guys the real thing he’s committed to is The Man telling him What To Do. If Robert Kraft told him he needed to kick Suicidal Tendencies off a tour he would have gone postal

It was always the same in the music world, a straight edge dude in a party band that everyone loved and who could hang, and somehow access those states simply by being with others. Everyone knows a guy like that but only one

I can’t believe the news that Andy Williams from ETID died. What this band has come to mean for the end of a whole approach to and era of heavy music, through no intent of their own, is a profundity I wouldn’t wish on anyone. This video is chilling now: t.co/7gtRp9k9M0

Rosalind Krauss gloss on conjunctural analysis in a completely different context, around the same time as Hall (from "Grid")

I had seen the first ~40 min of Andrei Rublev numerous times but kept bailing so I could wait for when I could be locked in a theater without my phone. And holy shit: its thesis that you have to sit through 3 hours of grueling misery to be able to understand one icon painting. Masterful

Both Mastodon and Russian Circles out with new songs that have bouncy riffs that sound like modern hardcore. Very strange but cool?

Fascinating interview with Fukuyama from two days ago. He remarked once that his End of History thesis was akin to a Marxist theory of history that gets off the train one stop early. Here, he sounds as if he's describing a departing train www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkPE...
