So I apologize for the last blog. I haven't heard any complaints, but I knew going in that my screed, my decree, might be decried as grandiose. That it might tickle some of you as off-topic, even though it WAS the topic.
((Well! Don't say I didn't warn you of My Awesome Powers when the Christo-Pocalypse rains upon the earth.))
But I know that you come here not for spiritual revelation, but musical revelation:
AND THUS IT SHALL BE.

okay, i am still not religious enough to want to replace an old deity with a new version, even if it is you. but i am interested enough in this post to request the hard copy with illustrations of this mixcd. please.
Ask and ye shall receive. I'll burn you a few other mixes from this series too. I know you will like "Pretty Pretty Songs" too; it has some bands you like on it. Consider the other mixes a late birthday present: the present is late, not the birthday. But I suspect you knew that...
Yeah, I want you to put me on your list of recipients for your divine mixmastering products. I'm not gonna post my real address here, but shoot me an email soon so I can give it to you.
And I want the CD's with the cool cover art and lots and lots of liner notes. Old school.
Speaking of liner notes, I was just looking at the ones to Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited the other day. C-R-A-Z-Y and crazy good stuff, there. My favorite excerpt:
" Autumn, with two zeros above her nose arguing over the sun being dark or Bach is as famous as its commotion & that she herself -- not Orpheus -- is the logical poet "I am the logical poet" she screams "Spring? Spring is only the beginning!" she attempts to make Cream Judge jealous by telling him of down-to-earth people & while the universe is erupting, she points to the slow train & prays for rain and for time to interfere -- she is not extremely fat but rather progressively unhappy . . . ."
drJ, you can have the mailed delights too! I will get them out soonish. I will probably post another of the mixes soon, and then get down to business and start shipping.
Also, here is a picture of Foucault making judges jealous by talking of certain little read texts that may, or may not, have a direct relation to certain everyday people's practices.
I don't think they post pics in the comments here, so here is the link to cut and paste:
Evidently they made a film out of Foucault's book (Full title!) "I, Pierre Riviere, having slaughtered my mother, my sister, and my brother: A case of parricide in the 19th century". Technically, it is not a book by F, but a 'dossier' compiled by him. It is in large part the confession of P Rivere, with additional court documents, newspaper accounts, and some essays (called 'notes', no doubt so to refocus the emphasis on P R himself, not the 'experts') by contemporary French people, including F.
We should compile more dossiers! But maybe this unique style of text-production would contribute to a cult of personality, of which drJ was just addressing the effects on her blog. So it could get messy.
Holy crapola, christophresh! You're not going to beliebe this, I know, but Pierre Rivere was actually the FIRST book I read by Foucault! I don't think I even knew who he was at the time...
It's funny how sometimes the first thing we read by a particular author continues to influence how we read everything else. That's certainly been the case with me, F, and Pierre.
'I, P.R.' is fascinating. Some of the notes were boring and precious, but what can you do. DrJ, your comment about the blogspot dossier is funny.
Blogspossier!
I might put up another mix today- your radio show is today too- I'm going to listen to it. Can I download it, for 'at-my-pleasure/leisure' listening? If not, I will record it from the streaming audio- that's right, I can record *any* audio direct to my computer?
Music; musing; must-haves.
The curatorial agenda. Sealing up a void whose vacuity was a source of distress to no one. The seed I am most likely to sow is a certain jargon. Built on tilt. The center of a new universe of counterfeit. Increasingly random and increasingly increasing.

I also attempt to make various Judges jealous by telling them of down-to-earth people.

I gotta track down that movie.
You should TOTALLY read PR, by the way. Fascinating.
And, for the record, I'm pretty sure that blogspot is already in the process of compiling whatever will count as the "dossier" of my life.
Well, blogspot and the Memphis-area criminal court system... 'cause, you know, I did spend a short time in the joint, here.

How, you ask?:
I am from the FUTURE, that's how.
Yeah, you can download my radio show. The podcast home is here.
And "blogspossier" is f-ing brilliant. BRILLIANT, I say!
If you want to dowload a truly GREAT episode of my radio show, you should get this one or this one.
