    Does anybody happen to know any other songs/ artist with similar vocals to this please? Something kind of Beach Boys/ Panda Bear esque if you get what I mean.

    Maybe some Alex G tracks

  2. recently picked up bot volumes (1, 2+3) of Bataille's The Accursed Share. Slowly working through em, hopefully write on them for my political economy paper at the end of the semester. Otherwise reading some Gurdjieff (rec. from James Ellis ofc). read a few chapters from the Republic during mid-sem break, would like to read more once the semesters up.

    Also need to finish The WIndup Girl by bacigalupi. definitely hits my scifi/econ bone.

  3. sv1 might interest ya'll, definitely not pushing through the wall that is 'alien' but absolutely pushing up against it while withholding something familiar from the socius. similar vein to some Arca releases.

    amnesia scanner ofc. sounds like a ghost being torn apart in cyberspace. sure most of ya'll are aware of em by now but just in case

     

    fuckit, posting arca, she amazing, this track sounds like an early bjork instrumental sent through that portal from Event Horizon.

    there's also a growing number of people making similar stuff w the sonic label of Organic Signals if y'all are interested.

  4. Just finished In The Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami, read it in about two days n was well disturbed>:)!

    Now just diggin through Mark Fishers articles/interviews in K-Punk which i'm lovin. Also started Atrocity Exhibition but fuck knows when i'll actually finish it, ballard is a bit of a unit.

  5. Finished a cool art-deco scifi novel called Radiance by Catheryne Valente recently, really loved the first half and the alt-20th-century-history world building was lush with lots of cool but short descriptions of the politics of galaxy-wide expansion from Earth.

    Currently dipping my toes in a few books until something sticks, so far have begun The Trial, Count Zero by Gibson, and a collection of short stories by J.G. Ballard after reading a bunch of essays by Mark Fisher that praised him.

    I'm realising I hate hospitality and want to just work in a bookstore:(

  6. saw apocalypse now at the IMAX the other night, the journey up the river from Vietnam into Cambodia looked amazing. holy shit those sets must've cost a lot. also interesting to read about the debate as to whether it is a pro or anti-war film.

    I don't disagree. But just to clarify, the whole thing about "normal" was to point to it being arbitrary. It's "our" normal. Or just call it vapid. 

    Things are changing. And we might have triggered some of it. Either triggered, or just added to it. (To me, triggering and causing are two very different things, btw. Eg. A person might trigger a snowslide, but think away that person and that snowslide might still happen. The conditions for it to happen were already there. The person did not single handedly cause the snowslide as the snow and the risk for a snowslide were already there.) But even if that is the case, the idea that we can return to a stable situation again is wishful thinking at best, imo. Were not at the point of controlling climate. Influencing at best. And mostly without a clue of where it would be going. Were just guessing at this point.

    So yeah. Learn to adapt. And try to better our ways to not fuck it up even more. Things are already put in motion. And there are far too many feedback loops in the system to turn things around in the short term. With plenty parts of the puzzle outside our immediate control. 

    this is the most galaxy brain take lmao. Hope you're prepared to die in an overcrowded disaster slum while Jeff Bezos n the boys emigrate to Mars, cause that's where us working class people are headed with this kind of shit.

    It was a real mess, but it had it's heart in the right place.  Baskin is maybe worth checking out, also full of flaws. Annihilation, the endless.

    Mandy, not really cosmic per se, but I'd stick it in there anyway.

    Mandy is fuckin so good

    I also enjoyed annihilation, although the ending in the novel was better (hur dur).

     

    recently been watching a lot of doco's on Kanopy, Maquilopolis and Big Men were interesting, both shedding light on the fucking depraved conditions third world countries are subjected to thanks to good ol' free market capitalism.
