  1. it is. when i read it i thought the title story was the weakest of the bunch. I was a DFW junky and i guess i still am. i reread all his stuff when he died which was heavy at times. i should reread the Lobster book. 'Oblivion' is some massive heavy feels. it's the big sad IDM of books in hindsight. there's something about how he hyper considered everything from a thousand different angles. a big honeycomb of thought. my current fwp is not being able to figure out which modular jam to edit. distill it down to the good bits. ?
  2. i was mostly relishing in the opportunity to link that DFW review. When i got that book, "Consider the Lobster", i'd assumed that review would be one boring read but it's actually a real fun page turner that blew my mind.
  3. AGNB on the stage w/a mic. dude is everywhere.
  4. the Pedantry has spoken! You're all sentenced to 3 hours in WATMM Detention reviewing Bryan A. Garner's A Dictionary of Modern American Usage If you'd like to read a review of this work, as well as engaging looks at other real world grammar related topics, I recommend: "Authority and American Usage" A 62-page review of Bryan A. Garner's A Dictionary of Modern American Usage. Wallace applies George Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" to grammar and the conditions of class and power in millennial American communication. While discussing the difference between descriptive and prescriptive grammar, Wallace digresses to discuss the legitimacy of Ebonics as opposed to "white male" standard English. Originally published as "Tense Present: Democracy, English and Wars over Usage" in the April 2001 issue of Harper's Magazine.[3]
  5. trump getting dosed and coping w/the aftermath would make a fantastic livestream.. once he's out of office.
  6. meanwhile.. i hope this fucking circus of bullshit calms the fuck down soon.
  7. i use the passive coleman one.. that's cheap and clean and balanced. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LS3--coleman-audio-ls3-line-selector i use it for adding/removing the sub when working on stuff. out put of my monitor controller goes into the coleman.. then outs of the coleman go to the monitors and the sub. TRS into the switch then TRS -> XLR to everything.
  8. i got stuck looking at the divers. in a trance now.
  9. we need some real investment in education. americans are getting dumber every day.
  10. can't wait for this fast food ephedrine guzzling shit bag to drop dead. i've read about half dozen "big mood over at parler" tweets that are all bananas. the Q anon take is all batshit. deep state has the supreme court and blah blah.
  11. Noah Hawley is doing the Alien series.. he did fargo and Legion (legion is weirdly awesome) I finally saw Alien Covenant... it was a good pandemic movie. i mean.. some good bits but again shit the bed w/the script. such dumb unrealistic science stuff and characters so dumb. I like catherine waterson though.. long neck and all.. She's a great hippie weirdo in Inherent Vice which i've rewatched a couple of times and loved more each time. amazing story and juaquin phoenix is amazing in it. Covenant.. jesus.. "hey big idea.. let's go down to the totally alien planet no one's ever been to and not wear full protocol hazmat level space suit shit.. and we'll romp around in the mud and stuff.. let's also not do a few fly bys at different times of day and scan for life forms and take pictures for recon.. and i think when down there' i'm gonna go for a swim and maybe step on magic mystery spores.. why not.. sounds like fun.. what could go wrong??" awesome.. we have a plan then. sweet.
  12. it's a weird one. like he's working forward and backwards simultaneously.. gonna reach back and connect the streams of colundi and astrobotnia. i just remember i saw him for that planet mu tour way back w/dmx krew and mike p. at the casbah in san diego.. mike's computer crashed like 30 times. early days of laptop hi jinx.
  13. ae ep - pre - late 2021 - tour buzz generator. something from aphex.. full length lp perhaps would love an exm release ep or full length a new Phoenecia release would be great. 2021 will be 10 years since the last one (demissions) which seems the amount of time between albums for them.
  14. Game of Thrones season 9 i read that she's re-recording the old stuff because she doesn't own the masters and they were sold to some asshole or something. it was one of those music industry copyright focused things about how masters get bundled up and sold so they can be used to generate revenue for the rights holder. shady shit. i guess some less than awesome person had acquired her masters and flipped them for big dollars. the only way she can own those songs is to re-record them or something. loopholes exist i guess.
  15. or perhaps it should be printed out and put in a shredder then that material could be compressed in a hard packed ball that could be fired from a musket at trumps head.
