call me Socrates. it make it easer to understand there’s gonna be a sense of pedagogy within this post. maybe some irony to create some distance. i guess, i’m trying to say don’t trust me. hopefully you will research everything i bring up. this will be presented in 4 stages. i hope it will brings you close to the outlook i have on this subject. i’ve exhausted days trying to bring you the proper way to express my interest.
can the obsession of youth reveal the hidden depths of being, of thought and history? is there a amalgamation when a well lived person attempts relating to a much younger life? can alchemy be achieved? or does it just offer better, more exotic, jerk off fantasies? is that one of the same?
anyway you look at it. whatever it is. it is very fun. please fall down the rabbit hole with me. please help me understand what is it these people do. all of it is a mystery to me.
i present to you magcon

p.s. Hey. Awesome writer/artist and d.l. and first time guest-host gary gray has concocted what I feel safe in saying I believe is a shoo-in weekend's worth of entertainment and exploration triggering for you in the form of the phenom, the wtf, the at once crystalized and yet mysterious Magcon. Why don't you read and click and de-puzzle-out his post accordingly. Sound good? And talk to Gary, why don't you too? Thanks a bunch. And, gg, man, what can I say? Big, big gratitude. ** Bitter69uk, Hey. Yeah, I did an initial clicking on that Exene stuff and stopped short pretty fast, not really wanting that cloud of latest developments within her brain to do a number on my memories and presumptions. Yikes. ** les mots dans le nom, Hi. Oh, I don't know. Can't be, right? Floater quartz is indeed an extremely beautiful name/bait. Wow, you know, thank you! That's so kind and just ... wow! ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh. I need to get and read that Rampo. I haven't, and he's great. Yeah, weird, depressing, weird, surprising as hell: the Exene stuff. Did you feel the earthquake I just read about? ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. 'Boom!', ha ha, now that's a movie, not to mention a title. Did you feel that same earthquake that I just asked Mr. Berman about? You've written on the Vivian Maier doc! I so want to see that. Incredible story and incredible work. Awesome, I'll read what you wrote pronto. Everyone, the writer and d.l. who needs no introduction aka Mr, David Ehrenstein has reviewed the new documentary 'Finding Vivian Maier', which you may or may not know concerns the recent-ish discovery of the previously unknown and brilliant photographer VM, and it's an amazing story, and I'm dying to see that doc personally, and blah blah, and what I'm meaning to say is that, obviously, I think you want to go read Mr. E's thoughts on the film for just all kind of reasons. It's here.** Cobaltfram, Cuh-cuh-cuh-Cobalt! Hm, doesn't have quite the same ring. Dude, you're back! It's been ages since you came back and then went mysterious again. Missed you, buddy! What's up with me? Tons. Yeah, you told me/us about the break up with Chad. I hope things have settled even a lot since then. Oh, shit, sorry about the L,B pass. But you sound squared away and strong. Are novels harder than non-fiction things of similar length/ambition? I guess that makes sense even though, for weird me, it's probably the opposite, as hard as novels are. It makes sense, yes: what you said. Novel goes very well, I think, I hope. Oh, yeah, this one is going to finish itself with my help and enter the world unlike the completely failed last/George one. The film I'm referring to is what used to be 'the porn film' and is now a film that works with the representation of explicit, pornographic sex, basically. Directed by Zac, (re-)written by me with input from Zac. It's happening. Casting is in progress, producers are on board, the money required is hopefully coming in very shortly. Yep, I'm still doing my thang here or maybe 'thanging my do' would be more accurate. The Bookwormhole is a good hole. Great! Recent reading by me ... I guess check my 'books I loved' post of several days back. Really busy, so I'm reading in spurts, and not enough. What have you read that you can talk about with passion? Anyway, yeah, sweet to see you. Stick around if you like and if that feels good, man. ** Rewritedept, Hi, C. But that acoustic with drummer thing sounds exciting. Uh, recent mind-blowing music? Hm. Not entirely mind-blowing, but I got off on a afternoon-long revisit of late '80s and early 90s neo-psychedelia stuff yesterday. Known and less known stuff. That was cool. Might well do a related gig post here. Hoping to see a couple of gigs tonight and tomorrow via this weekend's Presences Electronique Festival if I can. Matmos & Christian Fennesz & a Bernard Parmagiani tribute thing tonight, and then Nurse with Wound and a couple of electronic dudes tomorrow. Might be a mind blow, if I make it. Oh, before I continue to keep forgetting, your 3rd guest-post will launch here next Thursday. And now you've sent me another one, you saintly type. Thank you ever so much! Thin Lizzy: I only know the obvious tunes, I think. Yeah, I mean, I like the obvious tunes. 'TBaBiT' is kind of an inarguable bit of pop/rock wonderment. Their deeper cuts are really good too? Weekend, mine: no auditions, that's next weekend. Related work, though. Those gigs. Hoping to get some intensive novel work done. A couple of meetings with in-town people I need to meet with. Should be a solid weekend. And yours? ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Nice about the Gainsbourg 33 1/3 book. I know of it, of course, and I keep forgetting to actually get it. And I'll go see what Navid Nuur's show looks like, thanks! ** White tiger, Tiger! Aw, cool, thanks, pal! Oh, yeah, I asked Zac about the secret menu, and he was, like, 'Oh, yeah', and explained. I was/am thinking of testing out the French Chipotle by asking for at least a quesadilla as soon as this afternoon. Knowing there's a Chipotle here has changed my menu's landscape much more radically that the words Chipotle and menu could possibly indicate to an American given Paris's weak but getting better Mexican food landscape to date. The paycheck, not to mention your name on it: sweet! I have a Wii here, yeah, but, you know, I haven't even plugged it in to my TV monitor in maybe two years? Weird. I swore off video games while I was working on 'TMS' for conceptual reasons that I can't remember exactly, and I've never forced myself to break that rule for no real reason at all, and, hence, I haven't played a videogame properly in fucking ages, which is depressing. I'll plug it in this weekend and see if it still works. Joel got a Wii U for the LA pad, but, no, I haven't, obviously. What's your video game playing been like? Any tips to help get me back on track? ** Misanthrope, It's kind of like magic to me that writers can start with stories in mind. So foreign. Mine come infected as hell with problems, albeit exciting problems. Jesus, about you almost getting killed. Just reading that started to freak me out. Shit. I'd try to think up some advice to avoid that in the future, but there isn't any, is there? You're like a coin being eternally tossed down a wishing well, and so are we all. Fragile us. It's weird. Glad you're okay, huge duh. ** And with that, get (re)settled with Magcon and their vehicle aka Gary gray's lovely presentation, thank you, and have great weekends, and I will see you guys back here on Monday.
