\u2022 “In the modern internet world you have what I talk about as the ‘War of the Certain’: people insisting that their absolutist viewpoint, in 140 characters, is exactly the right way to think, and anyone who doesn’t agree with them is terrible. If you’ve grown up reading Robert Anton Wilson this is awful. Having all of these certain people with no nuance or doubt, and no understanding of multiple-model agnosticism, is not going to go anywhere good.” Writer John Higgs<\/a> talking to Ben Graham about RAW, Discordianism and related matters. A related matter: Higgs talks to Alan Moore<\/a> about virtual-reality mysticism, creating a new counterculture, reinventing magick, and the eternal nature of time.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Nicolas Winding Refn’s The Neon Demon<\/em> is out this month so features and interviews are proliferating. I’ve been avoiding them for the usual spoiler-shunning reasons, but this was worth noting: Refn’s mood-establishing playlist<\/a> for the production. More Neon Demon<\/em>: Cliff Martinez<\/a> talks about working with Refn.<\/p>\n

\u2022 ” ‘Paint me like one of your French girls” takes on a whole new meaning in Nicole G. Albert\u2019s book Lesbian Decadence: Representations in Art and Literature in Fin-De-Si\u00e8cle France<\/em>,” says Rachel Wexelbaum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The decaying low-baroque tableau of conjugal tenderness, features eaten away by the syphilis of time, played so well, on an anvil of whitewashed cement, alongside a municipal bowling green, that it became the provocation for a pedestrian expedition testing the Brexit boundaries of a timeless mead-hall England, before the fleet of plundering Papist Normans came sailing over the horizon. Just as tabloid gangs of Albanian drug-trafficking white slavers were now reputed to be sneaking ashore on Romney Marshes, at Deal and Camber Sands, on their Rigid Inflatable Boats, kayaks and leaking air mattresses. Could anyone bring themselves actually to cast a vote for Brexit, a commodity that sounds like a cereal bowl of Nordic cattlecake manufactured from wood shavings with an added ingredient to purge the bowels?<\/p>\n

Iain Sinclair<\/a> and company head south in turbulent times<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 At Dangerous Minds: a video recording of Psychic TV<\/a> live in Manchester, 1983 (I’m in the audience but up on the balcony so you won’t see me), and an interview with dub maestro Adrian Sherwood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Columbia Years, 1968\u20131969<\/em>: fabled recording sessions by Betty Davis<\/a> are to receive an official release by Light In The Attic.<\/p>\n

\u2022 We\u2019re Here Because We\u2019re Here<\/a> \u2013 Jeremy Deller\u2019s silent commemoration of the soldiers of the Somme.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Inside Las Pozas, Edward James’ Surrealist Garden<\/a> in the Mexican Jungle.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The body as amusement park: A history of masturbation by Barry Reay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Nicholas Olsberg<\/a> on the mirage of an ideal metropolis.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Strange World of…David Toop<\/a><\/p>\n
