it's not a body of work that can be forced into a book. It's out there, on the blogs and message boards. That's where it belongs.

I get a Hunter Thompson vibe from it.I know I'm being picky, but the skull on the cover is a bit much.
That's definitely the commercial strategy.
Are Ghosts of My Life and The Weird and the Eerie good?
The books can't compete with the blog particularly where they are blog posts inside books.
Why not?

Someone recently published a piece reassessing Capitalist Realism and got some unimpressed comments for a closing paragraph on Mark and Kurt Cobain's respective suicides.This makes it sound as if I think it's a purely cynical operation and I don't think that. It's largely organic in as much as there is a suicide icon mould already existing. It wasn't publishers and publicity agents that forced the fit. Young people did it spotaneously and naturally.
"Skull" and "non-skull" definitely need to be added to the Dissensus framework.Our main gripe is that our period is excised from the record. And they were all the non-skull bits, the bit the Japan essay came from.
