The Seven Finger High Glister

It’s long past time for a Summer 2011 playlist.  Watch out for heavy discontinuity in the arrangement of these songs, as well as glaring mastering differences.  I don’t have THAT much time.

Viruses, Selves, Spectacle, and Power

Jesse Cohn, “Believing in the Disease: Virologies and Memetics as Models of Power Relations in Contemporary Science Fiction”

“Postmodern power is not an affair in which A acts on B; rather, it is one in which B learns to identify with A.”

Within a new power model based on the dissemination of concepts, the potential for totalitarianism and the potential for sabotage reach some dizzying new depths.

Best read in a while; believe it, or disbelieve it.  The Means of Production is obsolete in favor of the Means of Infatuation.  Are we merely a collection of self-replicating ideas?  For more on the reign of the image and total identity theft (if it is indeed theft), get tracking hard with Guy.

Hogslop Record Release with James Wallace & The Naked Light

Rabble-rousing Nashville old-time legends The Hogslop String Band are releasing a ridiculously-anticipated record in what may prove to be middle Tennessee’s event of the summer. Naturally, they have commissioned Deathspan to summon some visuals. 

If that’s not enough to convince you, the following video should drive the point home well enough.
