- Really just a test of my Markdown parser. A doom-metal band, not my usual thing, actually quite brilliant in its way.
- After this I should give the John Zorn /Laswell disk another listen, thought it was too noisy the first time.
- Living inside a sound, sound as event.
- Wonder if these guys know Survival Research Labs
- Clement Greenberg medium-specificity. I never really got that, I'm too square, expect the message and medium to be separate. Although I always like works that play with or break out of their form.
- Cool Aztec poetry about transitoriness.
- Architectural brutalism, JFM is a fan (recent convert). Some sublime beauty in its inhumanness. And especially in its decay (seemed somehow JG Ballard ian)
- Works like Rothko that stretch the materiality of the medium to the point where it can show something non-human.
