Late, yes, but I just saw that he died.
Poor man.

Monday, August 16th, 2010Ellul’s library, his thoughts on pessimism, technology, etc.
Monday, August 9th, 2010Jacques Ellul: anarchist, would-be situationist, theorist of technology and propaganda, theologian. This the fifth of a six-part series of youtube clips. It has charmingly bad camerawork, a brief look at the man’s library, and a minute of virtuoso accordion (harmonium?) playing at the end.

I’ve returned to Cioran recently. His essay on de Maistre in Anathemas and Admirations contains some of the most beautiful and intelligent lines I’ve read in months. The essay itself is a model of bemused, respectfully hostile criticism. Bits of Cioran the aphorist are undeniably precious, but there is value there. He was the real thing.
An aside- Badger may recall with me the Romanian gentlemen who would spend hours on the patio of the bookstore in Baton Rouge smoking and yelling at each other. I miss those guys, and feel somehow responsible for the fact that our pre-fabbed version of cafe culture was so woefully inadequate. The romantic, excitable temperaments that shone from those gentlemen deserved more than that cheap furniture on a slab of concrete surrounded by Walmart, Petsmart, fast food joints, etc etc.

Tom McCarthy discussion on the relation of literature & film
Monday, May 10th, 2010I haven’t watched it yet, and won’t be until next week perhaps, as this week is my finals week. Bill sent it to me two weeks ago, but i’ve been distracted.
Update: Have it running in background as i mess with Tech Writing assignment. It’s mostly readings from Remainder. Carry on.

Sunday, May 9th, 2010Lifting this from the excellent PCL Linkdump. Not quite sure what to make of it. 
Yeah, top that, Of Montreal.
Music for Friday.
Friday, April 23rd, 2010The first one derives ultimately from our comrade slickpdx (though I don’t know where exactly I saw him link it… my hasty note* just says “slick”). The second one is probably from mefi or somewhere.
Busy away from the ‘nets lately, but I’ll get warmed up again.
*yes, I scrawl notes on PAPER about shit I see on the internet. I never claimed to be a genius.

Come home, Spider-man!
Friday, March 12th, 2010I would be amused by this clip regardless, but there’s another angle to why it’s posted.
