A Christmas Message From America's Rich | | Rolling Stone
december 2011 by stml
"What makes people furious is that they have stopped being citizens." I've been reading Matt Taibbi for 10+ years, since he founded the Exile, and he's still on it. And I'm in Guernsey, where this kind of rich exceptionalism beds down forever. Hello, it's Christmas, I'm drunk and angry on the Internet. (Oh, and Blackstone owns the Broadgate Estate, on your doorstep. Hello. Wake up now. It's time.)

The Book Collection That Devoured My Life - WSJ.com
september 2011 by stml
"But after living in smallish apartments for decades I just spent seven years in a house with a full-size attic, and everything went to hell. Books entered my house under cover of night, from the four winds, smuggled in by woodland creatures, and then they never left. Books collected on every surface; I believe that somehow they managed to breed." Yes, this.

“People two, three or four years apart are having completely different experiences with technology,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project. “College students scratch their heads at what their high school siblings are doing, and they scratch their heads at their younger siblings. It has sped up generational differences.”

"What matters is always the next new name, the latest micro-genre, another MP3 or MediaFire. Artist careers likewise are a continuous drip-drip-drip of releases, a dozen or more per year—there's no reason to edit or hold back, every reason to keep one's name out there. Stimuli streams in, largely via the Web; creativity streams out, largely via the Web. Today's musician is a pure screen, a switching center for all the networks of influence.

The Technium: The Internet Is My Religion
july 2011 by stml
"I think we should prepare ourselves for all kinds of new religions based around the idea of a planetary soul. As in a single web of electronic neurons around the globe, connecting all sentient beings. The Noosphere will go from a hypothetical speculation by a Catholic priest to an outright competitor to the Catholic faith. We will see the rise of Noosnics, Globalists, Overminders, Bit Monks, Quantumarians, and a hundred other sects and cults that take seriously the idea of a glorified planetary spirit as a reflection of the divine." The choice is: what kind of religion? We are six billion people without heads, etc.

It stated that €200 million would be brutally slashed from the arts and culture budget, starting as early as 1 January 2013.

Netflix, Amazon, iTunes – you wouldn't have to go and search dusty used bookstores or know the guy who works at a record store in order to hear most of that stuff you're missing. You'd only have to choose to hear it." On being well-read, now.

Flavin and Viola light works ruled “not art” | The Art Newspaper
december 2010 by stml
In its ruling a Flavin work is described as having “the characteristics of lighting fittings…and is therefore to be classified…as wall lighting fittings”. As for Viola, the video-sound installation, says the document, cannot be classified as a sculpture “as it is not the installation that constitutes a ‘work of art’ but the result of the operations (the light effect) carried out by it”.

"As a writer, on the other hand, Toibin has found through the Internet a welcome increase in solitude. He doesn’t have to answer an insistent phone, because he can check e-mail at leisure; he doesn’t have to go out to eat, because he can have food delivered; he doesn’t have to go out to buy books, which leaves more time for staying in to write and read, day and night.

Open Letter From OK Go - OK Go
january 2010 by stml
"Let’s take a wider view for a second. What we’re really talking about here is the shift in the way we think about music. We’re stuck between two worlds: the world of ten years ago, where music was privately owned in discreet little chunks (CDs), and a new one that seems to be emerging, where music is universally publicly accessible. The thing is, only one of these worlds has a (somewhat) stable system in place for funding music and all of its associated nuts-and-bolts logistics, and, even if it were possible, none of us would willingly return to that world."
