Michael S. Judge, Death Is Just Around the Corner

[version]

He looks like a police sketch of a 90s serial killer come to life.

I think this podcast would be better if I didn't already know everything he's talking about. All the stuff about Boeing, Siegel, Farina, Dylan, Mimi Baez etc.

Ive already forgotten the mimi baez connection, besides being farina's partner, whats her significance?

like some elves sneaked into your room while you were asleep and dressed you to save you time and trouble in the morning.

He had proper school shooter vibes when he was younger.

i definitely wont be reading him. all that 'serious' american stuff gets overhyped anyway. james ellroy is the only good one.

 

[version]

Who? Vollmann?

 

[luka]

yeah. i agree with that reddit post. nothing good can come out of a face like that.

I have one of his books here. Europe Central. Haven't read it yet though. I like this and you 'liked' it when I posted it at the time,

"According to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, our planet's most pronounced topographical features compromise an approximate mirror image of the crust's underside. The steppes of the Ukraine thus roof the crating platforms which replicates them, while the Ural Mountains not only project into the sky, but in equal measure stab down like gabblers trained upon the magma on which our contest uneasily slither. To me, the thought that this world is doubled within its own red, liquid hell is a profoundly unnerving one. Chaos seethes beneath my feet."

-- William T. Vollmann, Europe Central.

its got the Werner Herzog stand-up comic feel hasnt it

 

[version]

Don't ruin it for me. I'm gonna end up having to read it in Herzog's voice.

 

[version]

Have you heard of a guy called John David Ebert, Luka?

 

[luka]

dont think so

 

[version]

He's another one of these American conspiracy sort of guys, but he's fucking hilarious. I shouldn't laugh really, but he basically had a breakdown and just tweets about his ex-girlfriend all the time and says he's a genius. He made some video about another one of these guys threatening to beat him up and stuff and it felt like some weird skit.

Yeah, that's him. He went nuts and started posting horrible stuff about his ex.
