It's been exactly 25 years since Mark Hollis of Talk Talk released his last record and retired from music. I spent the past month writing this deep dive about the production of "Spirit of Eden", "Laughing Stock", and his only solo album. Read it on Reverb: reverb.com/news/a-quiet-g…

Here's my tribute to the late, great musician/individual Norm Chambers for @TheStranger. I've never shed so many tears while writing an obit.

last night i dreamed that a certain big tech company asked me to interview for a job on a software engineering team co-run by michael hardt and eve sedgwick
On this day in 1988 & ‘91 #TalkTalk released their fourth (“Spirit of Eden”) and fifth/final (“Laughing Stock”) studio albums.
Both hugely underrated and highly recommended.
RIP #MarkHollis
Fun comparison from de Saussure:
“Here [in linguistics] as in political economy we are confronted with the notion of value; both sciences are concerned with a system for equating things of different orders—labor and wages in one and a signified and signifier in the other.”
