One for the ANNALS OF BORING ARCHITECHTURE

Table top Musicians in Concert?

One thing that peeves me about text messaging is
the devaluing of the term

TEXT

which used to be a touchstone for tangibility--
words put

INTO PRINT

that was the thrust

not this immediately delete mind"set"

also: text messaging is parasitic on the alphabet
appropriating signs @ whim

always dependent on the host system
but only draining never contributing
to the row row row bustness of the language at large
*


Text messaging is the anti-christ of the printed word

Thank you Hilaire Belloc; thank you Jeff Mills:

If you've never read the hilarious
Hilaire, seek him out.

Author of ON ANYTHING;
ON NOTHING AND RELATED SUBJECTS;

ON EVERYTHING;
ON SOMETHING;

and of course the aptly titled:

ON.

But my other subject today is Jeff Mills, techno/dj of Detroit fame
who has just released a new 5" CD/Vinyl hybrid.

It's called THE OCCURENCE and can be found
wherever CD/Vinyl Records are sold . . .

Yes, you can also play this CD on your turntable!

At last. I mostly listen to vinyl but I still have a place in my hEARt
for that vintage format, the Compact Disc.

Jeff Mills, a bridge builder for today.

AS ART.

a still from IVAN THE TERRIBLE.

The caption for the 1st image reads, "Film production is one of our heavy industries."

As an example of a heavy industry accident, AVATAR could be compared to The Big Spill. But in the society of the spectacle, a giant accident like AVATAR makes billions of dollars rather than costing billions of dollars.

Oh oil-covered film-going pelicans!
