❝ Surrealists embraced play because of games’ potential for disruption. Their stance was a reaction against control, propelled by their desire to wrestle language and art from practical functions. But at stake was much more than simply a denial of utility. [As the author] says at the book’s end, “Surrealism at play was avant-garde in the full sense of the term: a fully politicized praxis.” ❞ → https://hyperallergic.com/515610/surrealism-at-play-by-susan-laxton

Spotlight On is one of the podcasts I edit + co-produce — the latest episode features a fascinating chat with Markus Reuter, a musician with a vast, multi-genre discography. Markus and host Lawrence Peryer discuss the creative process, learning from Robert Fripp, how to find one's 'home,' and the intricacies of touch instruments (like the Chapman Stick). Have a listen! → https://www.spotlightonpodcast.com/markus-reuter/

❝ Synth and audio-interface company Behringer says it's nearing completion on a recreation of the EMS VCS3, with first orders expected to ship this summer. […] Two years ago, Behringer said it was working on a full-sized VCS3 clone and shared images of a prototype that looked exactly like the original EMS synth. Whether the company is still working on a full-sized version is unclear. ❞ → https://ra.co/news/78355

I became an immediate fan of Adam Strand's Behind The Slate film history podcast from the first episode, which launched by charting the checkered life and history of Charlie Chaplin.
Today Adam begins a profile of Melvin Van Peebles and, judging by this new episode — which traces African American entertainment from its fraught beginnings — he may have already outdone himself. Highly recommended! → https://podcastaddict.com/episode/https%3A%2F%2Fsphinx.acast.com%2Fp%2Fopen%2Fs%2F63a13be697b20600118fcecd%2Fe%2F63e1bff0b455cc0011d42487%2Fmedia.mp3&podcastId=4176784

I've watched this video about a dozen times and it's always remarkable how subdued and perceptively grumpy Lurie is just before the band jumps into, by my estimation, an ecstatically fiery performance. Marc Ribot's solo is out of control (in the best way), too. → https://youtu.be/xm3rEZiJFIc

The Feelies on Saturday night in Amherst, MA — playing “On The Roof," a song from an album that means *so much* to me, The Good Earth

#TheFeelies -
❝ SMITHEREENS features three tracks from the Feelies’ debut record, CRAZY RHYTHMS, all of which have a “kind of nervous energy,” per [director Susan] Seidelman, that epitomizes Wren’s scheming sensibility... The Feelies’ propulsive sound parallels Wren’s sharklike movements. She lives in a state of constant forward momentum absent concrete plans or prospects, a modus operandi that staves off her creeping loneliness. ❞ → https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/7996-lost-in-the-city-with-the-feelies

I purchased a pair of previously expensive + stylish Bevel eyeglass frames on eBay for $20. These have been sent off for progressive lenses and will probably arrive today or tomorrow.
I'm a longtime glasses wearer with lots of vision issues. I've never worn progressives before and I'm told they take some getting used to.
Any tips for a first time progressive lenses wearer from the experienced out there?

❝ “Repetitive yet always featuring distinct markings,” points out the University of Delaware exhibition notes, “[Brion Gysin's 'roller grid' prints] represented an idiosyncratic system, an irrational order, combining repetition and chance. The principle of the ‘rolling grid’ (endless repetition with endless variation) can be seen at work in many of Gysin’s and Williams S. Burrough’s projects, including the Dream Machine.” ❞ → https://flashbak.com/brion-gysins-dream-machine-the-only-work-of-art-you-look-at-with-your-eyes-closed-436094/

❝ In hindsight, [Jon Hassell] traced his interest in global music — what Hassell would call “Fourth World” music — to such encounters [in his hometown of Memphis], “back to the crossing of cultures thing. I thought to myself later, after I left, ‘You never really know your place.’ Even if you grow up in a small town, you don’t really know what it is until you leave and you look back on it again.” ❞ → https://memphismagazine.com/culture/the-persistence-of-memory-—-and-the-blues/

TIL about #ChristmasAdam — never heard of this but it looks like fun. Here are five things about me that even my closest friends probably don't know:
1. The first band I was fanatically into was Yes, in my early teens.
2. I **strongly** dislike the movie IDIOCRACY.
3. I'm supposedly the first American DJ to perform in Siberia (late '90s).
4. The first trophy I ever won was for "Ugliest Kite."
5. I have two of The Captain's hard drives (from Captain & Tennille). I haven't gone through them yet. -
Two side-long compositions comprise COAST, an album of pulsing night-music from Mike Majkowski. If you can imagine The Cure recording extended ambient music during the FAITH sessions then you might understand this as post-punk instrumental beatlessness, bass heavy textures accented by the remotest percussive repetitions. The drift calmly beckons. → https://fragmentseditions.bandcamp.com/album/coast

❝ By journeying through these invented worlds, readers flex their own speculative muscles. Yoga for the imagination is invaluable in an evolving world where flexibility enables resilience. The more options we can envision, the more choices we have. Speculative fiction is the mythology of accelerating change—an invitation to curiosity, an engine of possibility. ❞

As I make it through some of the 2022 Sight & Sound entries I haven't seen (aided by the Criterion Channel's handy list-themed collection), last night I watched BEAU TRAVAIL (Claire Denis, 1999). I went in cold so I had no idea it was so poetic and internal. It grabbed me like a veristic dream. → https://youtu.be/Hh4HzACZOOQ
