The Great Bear (1933) by Marjorie Miller<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2022 New music: “Lo-fi no-fi post-fi fragments of disparate SCATTERBRAIN thoughts scrapbooked together using industrial glue discretely purloined from building site tea-break opportunities to fully form the definitive SEPIA PUNK AMBIENT (?) statement of assiduous apathy intent ~ hextracted from SEPIA CAT CITY (GEpH017LP) available via moonwiringclub.com<\/a> areet now TA.<\/span><\/span>” Nobody writes product descriptions like Moon Wiring Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 “Both the Harry Smith and the Sun Ra books were hard sells, because they were virtual unknowns who had pretty much given their life for art. In each case only about two publishers were interested in either one of them. The editors said either that they hadn\u2019t heard of him, or else they had<\/em> heard of him and didn\u2019t want to hear any more.” John Szwed<\/a> talking to Raymond Foye about the mercurial Harry Smith, and the problems of writing biography.<\/p>\n \u2022 At Public Domain Review: Max Beerbohm’s A Christmas Garland<\/em><\/a> (1912), a collection of seasonal parodies of well-known writers of the day. As with any such work, the success of each piece depends upon familiarity with the author being parodied, but Beerbohm’s prose is always a delight.<\/p>\n \u2022 Mirrorshades<\/em> (1986), the cyberpunk story anthology edited by Bruce Sterling, is currently available for reading or e-text download at Rudy Rucker’s website<\/a>. The book is still in copyright but I’m guessing this has been done with the agreement of the contributors.<\/p>\n \u2022 “…the richness of terrestrial creatures which at points are capable of sounding utterly extra-terrestrial.” Daryl Worthington<\/a> explores the history of birdsong and its influence on human music.<\/p>\n \u2022 At Smithsonian Magazine: Listen to the centre of the Milky Way translated into sound<\/a> or look at yet more photos of the aurora borealis<\/a>. (Or do both at the same time.)<\/p>\n \u2022 At Wormwoodiana: Through the Golden Valley to the Dark Tower<\/a>. Mark Valentine and friends go on a book-buying expedition.<\/p>\n \u2022 14 x 14<\/em><\/a>, a collection of Oulipo poems by Ian Monk, translated by Monk and Philip Terry, with collage cover art by Allan Kausch.<\/p>\n \u2022 “I am fascinated by electromagnetic waves.” Carsten Nicolai<\/a> (aka Alva Noto) discussing art and creativity with Max Dax.<\/p>\n \u2022 Secret Satan, 2023<\/a>, the essential end-of-year book list from Strange Flowers.<\/p>\n \u2022 Spice Islands Sea Birds<\/em><\/a> (1957) by Les Baxter | Trippin’ With The Birds<\/em><\/a> (1997) by Stereolab + Nurse With Wound | Strange Birds<\/em><\/a> (1999) by Coil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Great Bear (1933) by Marjorie Miller. \u2022 New music: “Lo-fi no-fi post-fi fragments of disparate SCATTERBRAIN thoughts scrapbooked together using industrial glue discretely purloined from building site tea-break opportunities to fully form the definitive SEPIA PUNK AMBIENT (?) statement of assiduous apathy intent ~ hextracted from SEPIA CAT CITY (GEpH017LP) available via moonwiringclub.com areet … Continue reading “Weekend links 702”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[2,42,29,3,12,20,13],"tags":[3008,2503,4579,2272,12115,2162,13198,13069,7531,13196,2903,1088,5347,1019,1903,4001,10377,13197,2206,2407,2419,579],"class_list":["post-23755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-books","category-electronica","category-music","category-photography","category-science-fiction","category-science","tag-allan-kausch","tag-bruce-sterling","tag-carsten-nicolai","tag-coil-group","tag-daryl-worthington","tag-harry-smith","tag-ian-monk","tag-john-szwed","tag-les-baxter","tag-marjorie-miller","tag-mark-valentine","tag-max-beerbohm","tag-max-dax","tag-moon-wiring-club","tag-nurse-with-wound","tag-oulipo","tag-philip-terry","tag-raymond-foye","tag-rudy-rucker","tag-stereolab","tag-strange-flowers","tag-sun-ra"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pq7rV-6b9","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23755\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
