    The City, The Country

    All our countryside is cultivated land. Bureaucratic landscape. Mondrian nightmare land. Really making me insane the more I think about it. What you want, ideally, is a binary of total city and total nature. The feeling of an inside and an outside.

    music disillusionism

    I'm increasingly convinced that as a cultural site, music has lost its relevance. It doesn't feel essential anymore. The meaning of what it communicated--something once self-evident and immediate, something that always acted as an internal guiding principle--has dissipated. Leaving us with an...

    Making Money.

    I think it's getting more difficult to pull off being poor. There's this ambient sense of bourgeois cultural dominance that I didn't feel 5-10 years ago. It's working on us between the lines.

    Morton Feldman on Art vs. Craft

    The book is a great. He's got a great writing style when it comes to art, I think. Quite unlike any other I've read.

    thought Finkelsteins thing about not wanting to condemn anything where he couldn't know what he himself would do in the same situation was a bit silly. you're not going to get very far with that sort of reasoning.
