p.s. Hey. So, I heard back from my hosting site. Their technical crew, which is based in Indonesia, refused to work on the site because it has ‘adult content’. Another technician associated with the site says he checked the verification function and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. He said I should contact Cloudflare, which I have already done several times with no response. Long story short, until/if I can find a way to fix the problem, I fear that people who are having trouble commenting will have to continue to use the tricky methods you’ve been using. Obviously, quite angering, and I’m very sorry. ** jay, Hi. Glad you liked the Mordant Music, and the T. Moore. That whole T. Moore album is very good. Cloudflare is being besieged with complaints from people and site maestros from all over the world, so I would think they’ll fix the bug, but I would think they would have done that months ago. What’s that VR game you’re playing? Sounds fascinating. All my friends with VR set ups are in the States, so delayed satisfaction for me. Really fascinating about understanding the thought processes and thereby eschew the emotional aspect. I think I think about that same thing in some way with my writing, albeit without articulating it so well to myself. IOW, thank you! Big day, I hope. ** James, Hi, James. It’s pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am also aesthetically and emotionally beholden to Phil Elverum’s stuff. I sort of do the blog the way I do because I guess I like it to be sort of baffling. Maybe because most blogs are the opposite. Thanks about ‘Closer’. I think the little queer literary niche is wide open to your involvement, so welcome. Are you a writer? If so, what do you write, or what is it like? No, you have already fit in here perfectly, so feel very free to hang out and speak and be spoken to as much as you like. Best wishes right back to you! ** BA, I like this moniker. It’s like almost a sheep sound and almost like Bank of America’s nickname at the same time. I’m glad/relieved that you got back in. And with a new Play Therapy v2.0 to boot! I have so mucho catch up on, PT-wise, it’s crazy. But I’m about to erase the lack. BA, formerly _Black_Acrylic and officially Ben Robinson, has a new episode of his key and butt/mind-stirring musical podcast up and available. Here. Or, in his juicier words, ‘Play Therapy v2.0 is a corridor and the corridor is Time. It surrounds all things, and it passes through all things. But you can’t see it. Only sometimes. And it’s dangerous. You cannot enter into Time. But sometimes Time can try to enter into the present. Break in. Burst through and take things. Ben ‘Jack Your Body’ Robinson will show you how.’ ** James Bennett, Hey, James, great to see you! Thanks about the NYC reading. Yeah, the atmosphere was pretty amazing. And, yes, still kind of shocked about Gary Indiana’s passing. I’m glad you’re back on the writing horse, though I’m sure the writing was probably beavering away in at least the back of your mind this whole time. Oh, I think I mostly listen to music on earphones. Except when I’m out and somewhere where music being broadcast publicly. Mostly I think I just listen, but since my only music source is my computer, I do scroll around whilst listening sometimes if it’s ambient-y kind of music. I never wear earphones when I’m and about. I’m very into absorbing wherever I am and studying the people around me. I am interested when people are wearing earphones to imagine what they’re listening to and studying the effect that whatever they’re hearing is having on their faces and demeanors. I only use my phone for calls, texts, taking photos/videos and occasionally for GPS help, but that’s it. I resist giving my phone too much power over me. So, we’re kind of similar? I hope you’re well too. What are you writing/working on? ** kier, Hi! Yes, Daufødt are kind of a punky Norwegian band. Something about that live clip charmed me. Wow, I don’t have fridge magnets. How ridiculous. I’m going to hunt some. Wow, cool. My day … I ended up not going to the reading, so I’ll have to figure out what that book is like some other way. And since it’s in French, that won’t be easy. I just worked and emailed and stuff mostly. Stuff re: our film got a little heated and dangerous yesterday, so today will be a lot of about trying to get through that. There’s a big, comprehensive James Turrel show on the outskirts of Paris, and maybe I’ll sneak over to that today. Hope springs eternal, etc. あなたの忠実な友人からの心からの挨拶, me. ** Lucas, Yes, I have listened to the Pharmakon, as you can tell. It is great. Good about the productive doctor encounter. Strange that you need a prescription for iron over there. What’s that about? But the French are weirdly restrictive about certain things too. You’re Emo-izing, yay! And, wow, next weekend? Crazy. Great. Time is so strange, isn’t it. I greatly look forward to that. Reading … I just finished this novel ‘Adorable’ by this Swedish writer Ida Marie Hede, and I really liked it. You? ** Steve, So sorry about the emergency. Immense luck and hopes to you about that. I’m happy the gig spoke to you. No, I haven’t heard the new Tyler. A bit wary. But the album cover is pretty interesting at least. Let me know how the Carax is. I still haven’t seen it. ** Tyler Ookami, You know Furze? Cool. I really think he must be being intentionally funny. If not, yikes. The Yara Asmar stuff really sets a strange, particular mood. Exactly, Tobias Bradford would be a home haunt’s ultimate dream date. I’ll try to find what I can of Anoushé Shojae-Chaghorvand’s work. I’m very intrigued obviously. Slightly more technically upscale work of that sort, but I have a galerie show of Jon Kessler’s animatronic artworks coming up tomorrow, I thinks. Thanks, Tyler! ** Dominik, Hi!!! My obvious and only pleasure. It does sound disorienting, yes. Maybe too much so? Only one way to find out. Good, write that song and get your stage persona figured out post-haste! Are Converse shoes hard to buy or extremely pricey? I’m completely out of it about shoes and which brands are the trendy, covetable ones. I literally never look at people’s shoes. I have no idea what shoes anyone I know wears. It’s kind of strange, really. Love pre-enacting the moment you will slip into those Converse shoes in 3D animation, G. ** HaRpEr, In agreement about the Mount Eerie. I’m so happy you liked the Roussel post. I don’t know why I love it so much. Well, actually I do. ‘How I Wrote Certain of My Books’ is a must. It’s so great! And it has a wonderful intro by John Ashbery, no less. Exactly about the unexpected inspiration. I’m just trying to stay very attentive and hungry. Your supervisor does sound kind of ideal. Great, score. I’m excited to hear how the creative project goes. ** Justin D, Your VPN trick worked, thank goodness. Music-only jags can be very fruitful, though, at least. Enjoy that while it lasts? We’re teetering on the possibility that the coast will become clear for our film, and, god, I hope it tips over in the right direction. Lovely to see you. What else is up? ** Right. For whatever reason I decided to restore this old, kind of possibly fun and diverting post for you today, so check it out at your leisure. See you tomorrow.

    Hi!!

    There are some real gems up there today. If I had to pick a favorite, maybe the Chinese groping one would be it, but the competition is tight.

    Honestly, I’m not into shoes either – I generally own one pair of boots and one pair of sports shoes, and that’s it. But the other day, I saw a pair of Converse shoes I fell in love with hardcore. Unfortunately, I do think they’re pretty overpriced, but… according to love’s 3D animation, they’d look really fucking good on me.

    Love creating a 3D pre-enactment of your horrid producer’s murder, Od.

    Some of these scenes put me in mind of the work of UK painter Dexter Dalwood, who depicts the sites of famous deaths. Maybe it’s just because of my age but Kurt Cobain’s Greenhouse always hits the hardest for me.

    Shit. I typed up a response and misclicked and now I have to retype it. Drat.

    Hi Dennis :] if first names are alright :0

    Massive pleasure to make your acquaintance, too! It’s awesome being able to talk and get responses with an author whose works I’ve read and loved so much – I’m wary of sounding like Oblivion’s Adoring Fan, so sorry if I sound a bit worship-y. But your works make me feel a whole let less lonely than I otherwise do as a gay and (I’m afraid) precocious guy. Your poem After School, Street Football, Eighth Grade was one I discovered at the perfect time for me and it’s been a favourite since. My favourite poem of all time is Eliot’s Prufrock, hands down, on that topic. Do you have a favourite poem?

    Yeah, Phil’s great. First stuff I heard by him were the Instrumentals off The Glow Pt. 2. I can play some Microphones stuff on guitar – I Felt Your Shape is a favourite. Lovely song :]

    Of course! What blog worth its salt ISN’T baffling? I suppose it was just your format of response that confused me – scrolling to the end of a post only to see a massive block of text seemingly talking to people. But as is evident, I’ve deciphered that B), so, eureka!

    Yay! Regarding the Little Queer Literary Niche (LQLN) I don’t know how likely my ‘contributions’ are, because I think all my writing is crap and sucks massively. I used to be very secretive about sharing my writing but I’ve got better at doing it over the internet.

    I’ve answered the question, but yeah, I’m a writer. Most of my work is me fleshing out random ideas that I get and like, ‘ironic’ smut, sci-fi, and various romantic indulgences to stave off the crushing pain brought on by the massive boyfriend-shaped hole in my life. Or even just the absence of other gay guys (to my knowledge) in my environs. Supposedly things will improve at university. I force myself to write for 10 minutes daily.

    Fitting in is nice :] I plan on sticking around and commenting and replying etc. and hope my verbosity isn’t an eyesore on anyone’s computer screen.

    Best-ER wishes from Blighty! It’s cold, but this morning was lovely and crisp. Perfect weather for listening to Arcade Fire.

    These vids are all awfully uncanny.

    Thanks so much for responding, means a lot, super duper cool :] !

    Wow, weird response from Cloudflare. Well, if you log into your Cloudflare dashboard, I could probably tell you what settings to change, but I imagine that’s probably not something you have access to.

    The game I’m playing is Alien:Isolation, it’s pretty interesting. It’s largely quite a traditional horror game, but yeah, this algorithm at the centre controlling the alien is super much the focus. I probably wouldn’t recommend it, because it’s really technically challenging in a way that’s probably not particularly fun if you have a lot of responsibilities, but it’s been a great escapist thing for me.

    Oh yeah, I can totally see that with your writing, in regards to the whole “exorcism via understanding” thing. I think I don’t personally have any difficulty understanding my own desires/anxieties/interests on the whole, me and most of my friends are largely typical in that regard, I don’t know anyone who I don’t “get” instinctively.

    But yeah, I’m a huge fan of VR aesthetically, it’s sort of semi-central to a lot of what I write / think about. And there’s a huge new trend in gay porn that centres around it, involving one man watching porn (usually involving a woman) on a VR headset, while the other guy simulates the motions the other man is visually experiencing. Anyway, see you, have a great day!

    Hi. Yeah, I think the prescription is necessary because I take a rather large dose of iron. I guess I am sort of severely anemic so ignoring that for months probably wasn’t a good idea. Emo-izing is always a yay!!! And yeah, next weekend, but I meant like the one after this one. I’m thinking it’s already Friday to cope with classes. I’ll be in Paris the 23rd. ‘Adorable’ seems really interesting! Hm, thinking about it and I don’t think I’ve ever read a book by a Swedish writer. Obvious gap there. I’m towards the end of Foucault’s ‘Birth of the Clinic’, like I mentioned, and it’s amazing. I think you’d really like it. Otherwise… started reading some bits here and there from ‘The Book of Disquiet’, which I think I am really going to fall in love with once I dive more deeply into it. Pessoa’s style is so entrancing. Also got into the Pierre Reverdy NYRB Poets book a while back and I keep coming back to it. My copy is somehow already incredibly beat up which is what inevitably happens whenever I love a poetry collection too much. It’s a badge of honor, really. Anyway, how are you? Are things with the film still looking good? I’m intrigued by what you hinted at the last few times you’ve talked about it here and wishing you luck as always:)

    In the short term, my parents are OK, but they have a real problem keeping their phones working. In the long run, they need help, and I’m slowly looking into it. I talked with my dad today, and things are far calmer.

    The Carax film is not great, but it’s interesting. He copies the style of very late Godard, with onscreen text in the same typeface and a voice-over delivered over a montage of film clips (his own and others.) The scene after the credits is worth staying for.

    When you first put this Day together, how did you find all these?

  7. Uday

    I don’t think I get mad per say about the not being able to comment thing but it’s just sad when you type out something really long and it gets eaten up. Ah well. Hopefully today’s will break through. Did you hear about the Timothee Chalamet lookalike contest? I think there’s some wonderful material there to work with. And I don’t think I have my life planned out as much as you think because I know I’ll likely change my mind. It’s the drawback of being mercurial. Also I like today’s post, but think it might be fun to use 3d animation to show really the most banal things instead of things that might not be “fit for public consumption” other wise (massive scare quotes there). Any fun plans for the rest of the month?

    Well, a lot of those one man black not-quite-metal bands from northern Europe are like that, where they’re either really self aware or really not and it’s impossible to tell which. I think I found Furze on a Rateyourmusic list of outsider black metal I found a few years ago, alongside other stuff like Wold, The Mausoleums, Yoga, and Mumuure that are favorites of mine. Mamaleek were on there, too, but they’re hardly outsiders anymore since it seems like a combination of having The Flenser in their corner and a (relatively by their standards) more accessible album this year has gotten them a lot of attention. I never would have guessed from their older stuff but good for them, I suppose.

    On the opposite end of the musical spectrum, I’m a little obsessed with this kind of dorky J-pop track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGqEuk8Om-4
    I guess it’s just the combination of the wolf theme and how they use that walking bass sample, plus the video.

    hi D! I didn’t get a chance to respond to yesterdays post, but yeah, the new mount eerie is so great, listening to it again right now. i’m hoping to catch him play in LA next week. Do you any concert plans in the near future?

    alas, my notley-using film went no further than the classroom, as my professors reaction wasnt too encouraging.. tbf it was definitely all over the place (though that was the intention, but perhaps not executed very well). Rn im in my last year of college studying film, though I’ve honestly become pretty disenchanted by film school, at least mine, which is a prestigious but Hollywood/industry-driven program. very few students or faculty engage heavily with the avantgarde/experimental, so that kinda pushed me away from the medium. Luckily my focus is in film studies rather than production or screenwriting so I’ve been able to avoid a lot of the kevin feige-types and focus on stuff that interested me more, theory and media analysis etc.

    As for my “talents”… over the past year or two i suppose ive gravitated towards writing as my primary creative outlet. (the initial reason i decided to pursue film was bc of my love for writing + photography). I’ve followed along w the altlit scene in ny/la peripherally for a while, but only recently started submitting work. Although naturally I hate 99% of what i write, I;m pleasantly surprised by how things have been going. My first piece was actually published by expat press yesterday, and i have another coming out on hobart in dec.!

    However i just started working on an experimental video for a class, exploring fringe internet culture, the descent into extremism and violence/hatred/alienation facilitated by these spaces, the nature of online anonymous communication (forums, servers, chatrooms), and how its all shaping contemporary masculine identity. Your work and BR Yeager’s Amygdalatropolis are big sources of inspo, also the jon rafman + OPN videos. im actually pretty excited about it so who knows, maybe it’ll reignite my filmmaking aspirations.

    so i guess thats what ive been up to lately. oh, and my 21st birthday is tomorrow (today for you, in Paris time!) , which i have all sorts of mixed feelings about but oh well. anyways, apologies for the info dump, and hope you have a lovely day!
