Here is the full text (translated to English) of the lecture I presented two days ago at the Théâtre des Variétés in Monaco. This is one of the most complete statements on aesthetics I have ever made. Let me know your thoughts. patreon.com/posts/monaco-l…

This was a very good interview. Great subject, and thoughtful interviewers.

Last week, I had the privilege of interviewing @thelukasligeti in my Kehl studio for an episode of my podcast. We talked about Notebook, his amazing new album. Coming soon..

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and he went on to become an Oscar-winning screenwriter.

Mesmerizing 3-string shovel guitar [🎸 Justin Johnson]

Camille Paglia on Emily Dickinson’s style: “The primary qualities of Dickinson's style are high condensation and riddling ellipsis. Protestant hymn-measure is warped and deformed by a stupefying energy. Words are rammed into lines with such force that syntax shatters and collapses into itself. The relation of form to content is aggressive and draconian. The structure cramps and pinches the words like a vise. The poems shudder with a huge tremor of contraction. Dickinson's poetry is like the shrinking room of Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum, a torture chamber and arena of extremity. We are in the womb-tomb of Decadent closure.”

I bought an LP of guitar music by Maurice Ohana today.

@PossWorldsMusic Ah.. I looked for it on CD and it appeared to be out of print. Amazing disc either way!

@SamuelAndreyev I have “Alone at Last” on CD…but yes, music lovers should have a turntable if they have the money and the space!

This alone justifies owning a turntable. Not enough is written about this: whilst everyone focuses on the (unwinnable) sound quality argument — CDs are clearly superior — the real reason to get into vinyl is that much amazing music is not available in any other format. And you can get piles of LPs for pennies.
