one of your best works, imo. deep grooves.

I heard they were ushered in by Capitol Police, and then mostly proceeded to mill about taking photos. Is this not true? Have other groups barged into the halls of Congress and voiced their political beliefs while it was in session? If so, what political leanings did they have? I'm sure this event is being used to manipulate people, so that's why I reserve my right to refrain from judgement for now.

Likewise.

I suggest you read or skim "Media Control" by Chomsky. (Yes, I'm aware he was friends with Epstein despite knowing his background. Nevertheless, it's a good book.)

I'm just mentioning it in the context of the documentary as an example of how those in power (both sides) weave their other narratives into anything they say, to create a complete worldview people can easily adopt. An Electric Monk, if you will. I am agnostic about what happened on Jan 6 and who (singular or plural) was behind the Q posts. I don't fully believe either side right now, because it's too politically charged. I'm as open to all facts as I can be. My ego does not depend upon my tribal allegiances. I just want to know the truth. You have given me a great example of what I was talking about here:

Interesting documentary, both to learn (presumably) facts about Thomas and to see how the (government-funded!!!) media and left is trying to assassinate his character. I don't know anything about him other than what I learned from this documentary, though, so I'd need to read more. Seems like a very ambitious guy who many people have found unpleasant, at the very least. "If you can't beat em, join em" is kind of how they're describing his personality. Maybe it is, I don't know. They just have to include their January 6th narrative and QAnon in this -- very interesting to see. I can see how persuasive this type of film could be for those on the left. From the moment I heard the ominous music in the intro, I knew what I'd be in for. I watched the entire film anyway so I could potentially learn something, which I did. It's funny to me, though, because this film reeks of dishonest propaganda far more than "What is a Woman", which basically just poses a simple question to people and exposes their inability to answer it. That's why they're trying so hard to shut it down. It is indeed harmful... to bullshit reasoning and big pharma, who just sees trans people as giant dollar signs.

Watching now

I'll have to read more into it - sounds troubling. The appointment process seems to be far too heavily influenced by hegemonic political forces. Problematic for democracy.

I thought he was cleared of wrongdoing?

this was very interesting - thanks for sharing

There's luck involved: - Right place at right time - Label notices you - Label promotes you because you can make them money - Press wants to talk about you (maybe for political or other reasons... anything that gets them clicks) - Fans happen to like you (not something solely based on the merits of the music) There are also artists who start off making bad music and then get better. You might not ever hear the bad music that came first. If bad songs are 0s and good songs are 1s, then imagine output like this: But in reality, there may have been lots of bad songs that predated the good ones that you just don't know about, which can then be reworked freely. This is the "treasure trove". After the spotlight is on them and their ego is inflated, it's hard for them to get hungry again and put their heads down, maybe. As Thom Yorke said, "Satisfied is when you get fat, and like, go home." In addition, maybe some fans want a musician to keep doing the same thing, but the musician doesn't want to. That's a hard sell. Chris Clark, BoC, Autechre, DJ Shadow, Avalanches - I'm sure many people yearn for their earlier sounds. I don't think Clark has lost his edge, by the way, from what I've heard. He does seem to be slightly repositioning himself in the music market from purely IDM to a more singer-songwriter niche, which I bet Thom Yorke has mentored him on a bit.

wow, this is amazingly good

always sounded fine to me

I got into Aphex Twin and Autechre through Radiohead when I was in high school. I read the Radiohead bio on allmusic.com and it compared them stylistically. They've since updated their bio for Radiohead, but I remember learning that Radiohead didn't come across as "carpetbaggers" because they shared the same "post-modern vantage point" as the people who influenced them.

My favorite song is still Ted. That song melted my brain when I first heard it. Never recovered.

Very cool to hear Thom and Clark collaborating
