    SAW II turns 30

    in Aphex Twin

    SIF is definitely way more compressed. The ticks sound just a touch tinnier/sharper as well. I imagine whatever processes they used also brought out some artefacts from the original tape.

    I think we're all a bit touched here, so it's par for the course.

    I'm so tempted to order the book but I know shipping will be murder to Japan. It looks well lush though.

    The website is lovely as well isn't it? Fun little quirky bits to discover here and there.

    They seem to have 10% off with email subscription. I found this on their site as well, looks pretty good.

    Foucault's Pendulum. I've read it a long time ago but can't remember much so rereading it now.

    Oh, its fantastic. Definitely worth a re-read. Inoculated me to conspiracy thinking way back. I just wish there was a fully translated version.

    Everything he has written is great though. Loved Baudolino, and the Island of the day before. He has a brilliant cameo in Binet's 7th function of language if you like metaphysical farce.

    it is easy to want to call bluff on a nuclear option of you are not in the blast radius.

    Unfortunately, even a limited nuclear war could spell armageddon. 250 warheads would kill upwards of 2 billion people. Ive seen estimates as low as 60 detonations being capable of causing a nuclear winter severe enough to decimate agriculture for about 5 years. A 'limited' nuclear war in Europe would almost certainly kill hundreds of millions.

    At this point in the conflict it is obvious that there will be no clear victor. The only option is some kind of peace deal. Further escalation is insanity.
