I look at the internet as the new radio. I look at the radio as gone.
Clarity, completeness, quintessence, quiet. No noise, no schmutz, no schmerz, no Fauve schwärmerei. Perfection, passiveness, consonance, consummateness. No palpitations, no gesticulation, no grotesquerie. Spirituality, serenity, absoluteness, coherence. No automatism, no accident, no anxiety, no catharsis, no chance. Detachment, disinterestedness, thoughtfulness, transcendence. No humbugging, no button-holing, no exploitation, no mixing things up.
Stephen Colbert talks to Carl Wilson about his book Celine Dion’s Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste.
Good Valentine’s Day reading.

Movie Class is an ethnographic film about the exercise of power in an after-school program whose ostensible mission is to teach kids how to make movies. It is a theory and report on the unintentionally dangerous ways an unexamined promotion of meritocracy can be used as a tool for authoritarianism. Rhetorically the film attempts to problemitize the American Dream that you can be whatever you want to be.
