Cultural moment. Everyone locked down in unreal pandemic quarantine grief having writers expertly pulling their strings while watching an unreal town in magickal quarantine having its strings pulled by a grieving witch. Stories about modern gods sometimes break containment and do really weird shit.

The first three episodes of WandaVision are up on YouTube, so I'm prepping for VisionQuest with a rewatch. Just saw the Family Ties/Roseanne episode, which is up there at the pinnacle of what television can accomplish, writers so in my head and breaking my heart that it feels like a magic trick.

You're a child. You're cooking, you're making a snack. The salt mill falls from the counter and hits the floor. You know where this is going, if a tree falls in the forest etc. I feel as though you have to become a philosopher of evil as a parent in order to stay detached and curious.

I've clearly been so preoccupied this month that I've barely listened to anything new since. This is unlike me. Probably need to fix my heart.

Returning the Soul Stone as an homage to the Seventh Seal writes itself. Cap needs to preserve the timestream and wants to resurrect Natasha but can't bring himself to hand the Stone back to the guy he almost died fighting in WWII. Scott Walker already gave us the needle drop. It's too perfect.

coining it: 'aspirational evil' I think he's conceptualising the competence of evil here in terms of the capability to inflict impact on the world, which is one of the most impoverished definitions of competence I've ever encountered. If you don't care about law and regulation then this is easy.

Every time I hear 'Clear' I get awestruck by the drum programming. Just ridiculously strong work.

Seth Cooke | Every Contact Leaves a Trace @sethcooke.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
'Unknown Territory' and 'Clear' are well worth revisiting if you have time. Especially 'Clear' - I have a sense (that I'd like to research more) that it sits, under-acknowledged, in the line that runs through to The Bug and Hyperdub.

Simenon is ripe for a Primer. Such a lineage - Neneh Cherry, then Wild Bunch, ZTT, On-U Sound adjacent, a couple of Sinead O'Connor's best records (Thank You for Hearing Me, wow), Depeche Mode, now we're finding out that he remixed a whole lot of Bowie's 'Outside'. I think 'Clear' is so underrated.

Seth Cooke | Every Contact Leaves a Trace @sethcooke.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Mind blown. Just discovered that Tim Simenon worked uncredited on Adamski's 'Killer' and an early version of Seal's 'Crazy'. 'Into the Dragon' was the first record I ever owned. 'Killer' was the first single, and 'Seal' the first album, that I bought with my own money - because I loved 'Crazy'. WTF

Knopfler would benefit from a primer mixtape. One of those careers where I don't know whether I'd ever want to put on a full record, but the standouts are outstanding.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Enjoyed the bizarre sensory stuff at the "Anish Kapoor: Not a Painter" exhibition at the Hayward, even if I'm firmly on Semple's side. He should be making mirror mazes rather than exhibiting in galleries though.

Dunno whether you've seen it, but I wrote album notes for Sightseer. They're at the Drive link on Bandcamp.

Seth Cooke | Every Contact Leaves a Trace @sethcooke.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
My guess: it's due to the phase during which I edited heavily. Sightseer, Triangular Trade, Double B, Weigh the Word and the An Agoraphobe section of Selected Works all had a ton of it, most audibly Sightseer's micro-editing. After that I dialled it back, because I find editing totally joyless.

^^^ This is not the same thing as thinking their story and justification will work. Genuinely think they're taking a risk with whether this stunt will succeed. I'm slightly more cautiously optimistic than I was. It's a gamble, and I don't think it can be justified by financial short-termism.
000
Seth Cooke | Every Contact Leaves a Trace @sethcooke.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I think it will be less straightforward than that. The reveal isn't who has been cast, because everyone knows that. It's how the story justifies the casting, and whether that pulls the rug out from under anything we thought we knew. Based on rumours we might not be told that in Doomsday.

That's okay. Comments like that operate in accordance with the FLCL Quantity Theory of Doing Things for the Audience Personally, which lays out a framework explaining the phenomenon whereby nothing for some is counterbalanced by everything for others.
