It's Myra!! Sunset Chasing!

Hey Myra, you're big in Japan, did you know that? See  Osaya Hiyama's Weather Report . Lana Del Rey - Beautiful Subscribe to Lana Del Rey . I once had a weird text message exchange with my mother. We were talking about knowledge, and my head was all full of mathematics at the time. I was enthusing about how important knowledge was, and I desperately wanted her to see some idea I was trying to explain. It ended when she said "Well I know enough to appreciate beauty" as if that was all she wanted out of life. So I asked her "What is it that you need to know in order to appreciate beauty?" And that was the end of our discussion. She didn't want to continue texting me, she said. It was too fiddly and stressful. I remember once asking about a Picasso print from the blue period, of a nude woman sitting. I had asked her about it when I was a kid. It wasn't the color I objected to so much. What upset me was that the outlines of her body were in crude heavy b...

Art Is Not Content

This is a very thoughtful and thought-provoking little video essay. It is centered on the idea that any interpretation, i.e. any response the work provokes in the viewer depends upon a context which is both conscious and unconscious, and which inevitably changes with the passage of time, because the viewer is a living being in a constant flux of changing knowledge. See Balcony Room  and the piece about Malcolm Lowry and his book Under The Volcano  for a striking example of this. I tried reading it thirty or so years ago and I don't think I finished because it made very little sense to me. But hearing these fragments set to music like this had a remarkable effect. But I think I very likely carry the subconscious effects that reading it had on me at the time. I associated it with dark foreboding, and it had no religious significance for me whatsoever, even though I was consciously searching for some religious dimension to my life at the time,as I imagine everybody was, who worke...

Gigi Young on "Alice in Wonderland"

Image
The story itself is  full of darkness. I spent a couple of days once trying to make sense of the chapter called "The Duchess' Kitchen" To me it seemed to be about war. I think that he joined one of these secret societies and wrote books so that he could reveal their secrets from beyond the grave if the right sort of person showed up and read them. In this self-portrait, which is one of the few surviving photographs of his that he didn't destroy himself, he has the little finger of his right hand curled up. I think that is some kind of freemason's sign. See  The Real Lions Gate Portal . After Lewis Carroll published his Alice's Adventures Under Ground , there was a plethora of similar stories. He mentions this in the forward to Sylvie and Bruno , I think (see Sylvie's Garden ), or possibly it was in The Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll that I read it. This is well worth reading to get an idea of the breadth of his thought. It is still in print. See also ...

At 9:59 Lynch talks about the right to analyse and critique, but points out that the work should stand on its own. This is for several good reasons. This is why I spent so long removing "explanatory footnotes" from the works of Aristotle , and why I included no "Introduction" but wrote a separate "play" called introduction.  See  Art is Not Content .

 I never thought this song would make me cry! Subtitles in Spanglish, apparently! 😂 Check the video on YouTube for a surprise [is this a pirate channel or something? No. I know what it is. It's just that YouTube is doing some DRM crap and isn't smart enough to read the playlist description and know that the audio stream has been edited. It's just a stupid bug introduced by some pessimally crappy software engineering regime. You people are fucking illiterate! See Art Is Not Content ].

Aurora in The Court of The Crimson Robot

Image
I made this series of vague associations whilst I was in San José, Costa Rica, not having a very good time. I didn't present it very coherently though. That was because they were just vague associations, ... it was all feel-thinking, as David Lynch calls it. I first saw this really excellent Sci-Fi short on Dust. I couldn't help thinking of David Gilmour whatever the robot did, ... Then the title obviously connected with King Crimson, .... And then the vagueness and my own feelings seemed perfectly reflected in this acoustic version of her song Runaway that Aurora had just posted.

Trying not to get my hopes up, but this is a brilliant idea , so we should be able to copy it on Panquake and Rumble and anywhere else like Louis Rossmann's  https://grayjay.app/ .  See  this post . I got this when I clicked on todays Google doodle: For some reason YouTube has no videos in the topic you get when you click the YouTube "Listen" link: Maybe there was a flash mob psy-op that deleted them all?
