Saturday A.M. : PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL arrived from Cherry Red yesterday. Just listening now; some of it will be new (although it's not), and some will be vaguely familiar. Surely, these were with me, via CKLN in the 80s here in Toronto...I seem to recall an on-air interview...The later work, such as 'Working From Home', I've only heard via RUclips (GASP!). You deserve better, where audio reproduction is concerned, thus the CD. And, I'm catching up. For what it's worth....thought I'd mention it. Thanks for not dumbing it down. Cheers!
Sabine Schormann, the head of Documenta, has now resigned as a result of the anti-semitism scandal, which makes for an interesting parallel with the firing of Kentaro Kobayashi last year (covered in my Edgelawks video ruclips.net/video/H2sx5-MWrGc/видео.html).
So if you are Palestinian you are automatically antiSemite. And Mossad are now the white hats. What a folly ridden world we now inhabit. “The Palestinian collective that appears in Documenta, the Question of Funding, has been accused of supporting the pro-Palestine movement Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions, which has been fiercely decried by some in Germany. Jewish groups in Germany claimed that the Question of Funding’s inclusion-and a perceived lack of any Israeli artists-was proof of anti-Semitism at Documenta, which this year predominantly focuses on collectives-artistic, activist, educational, and more-based in the Global South. Ruangrupa has claimed that there are Jewish Israeli artists among the 1,500 participants this year, but the collective has not specified who they are.”
Do u think the song was inspired by your work? It sounds so much like a Britten-themed Momus song. Even rhe voice! You cld do a cover with Nono singing the childrens part. Thanks so much for sharing. Britten's children indeed!
The internet does not exist! Isn't that the logical conclusion? I would take issue though with the comment about never meeting Brazilians in Japan, just to be pedantic in response to the analogy you gave. When I was there, a certain car factory in a certain place not too far from Tokyo employed a whole load of Brazilian workers, and from time to time we would hoon over to that place on a spare weekend to sample fantastic and eye-openingly authentic Brazilian food in that neighbourhood. It was a paradigm shift ahead of anything you could get in the otherwise increasingly-becoming-global pre-Olympic Tokyo. Not all that long ago, too - but pre-covid of course.
Critique of Judaism is a bit more than the narcissism of small differences, it's basically ethnocentrism as religion. Besides, surely you've noticed the in-group preference of these oppressed minorities? What if it's human nature and you put your own in a big heap of trouble by denying it? Even Greeks and Japanese are remarkably ethnocentric!

holy moly, that Diego Marcon film is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I was at the Biennale in June. First time to see the show, and first multiday stay in Venice. Love it . Milk of dreams indeed!

the parents' room is so momusian. it can't be a coincidence.
It's down to common sources of inspiration, I think. Marcon loves songs from horror films like Night of the Hunter and The Wicker Man.
the legend.. This Time He Has Come...
I heard from a friend that you are playing in Toronto later this year, is this true? I'd love to see you but I'm agoraphobic.
Not true. There's a DJ who calls himself Momus, maybe it's him.

Забавнее всего было услышать произношение фамилии Хёйзинга.
There's a zing!
