Remembering Michael Murray

Posted on January 10, 2025January 10, 2025 by tundranaut

Before we get too deep into 2025, I’d like to take a moment to remember a dear friend of this blog, Michael Murray, the publisher of the literature and art website Galaxy Brain. Michael passed away in 2024, which shocked me — I had no idea he was ill. I only knew him through Twitter,…

Against Inevitability, Toward “Psychological Decentralization”: “‘The Psychopathology of Time and Life’ is a remarkable essay falling at the point where Marshall McLuhan is turning from a career in teaching poetry and literature to a career in studying media and becoming a kind of ‘anti-environmental activist’ in terms of the invisible shaping environment which is what…

Q&A with @L0m3z: Wages of Fear, the Rejection of Falseness, and Navigating Hell

Posted on June 29, 2022July 25, 2022 by tundranaut

I first came across the @L0m3z Twitter account circa 2016 or 2017 and I was struck by how the things this person wrote in 140 characters were not simply tweets — they were great pieces of standalone writing. Fast forward to the current year and @L0m3z is one of the kings of anonymous Twitter. He…

All Tomorrows Parties: “…What we are catching glimpses of is what [Jacques] Vallée, and indeed [William S.] Burroughs—the greatest American philosopher since William James—described as Control or the Control System (which, as per Burroughs, needs ‘words,’ ‘time’ and ‘opposition’ to unfold).” Covidian Aesthetics ——— Girard and Digital Technology: “The public mainstreaming of runaway social psychosis may…

End the Cosmopolitan Monopoly: “Our current indulgence of cosmopolitanism can’t endure. It’s ultimately a facile and feel-good doctrine employed by the elites in direct contradistinction to the wishes of the majority. It’s a point of view and state of mind that contains too many inconsistencies, and that causes too much damage. Ultimately, it’s anti-natural. It…

A GUIDE to IANNIS XENAKIS’S MUSIC: “When you hear Xenakis’s music – any piece of what we recognise as his mature work, starting with 1954’s Metastasis, onwards – you’re confronted with an aesthetic that seems unprecedented according to any of the frames of reference that musical works usually relate to. You won’t hear vestiges of things…

“A luxury cruiseliner quarantined in San Francisco bay, its well-heeled passengers confined to their cabins for weeks on end. Holidaymakers on lockdown at a quarantined hotel in Tenerife after an Italian doctor comes down with coronavirus. A world of isolated individuals rarely leaving their homes, keeping a wary distance from one another in public, communicating with their friends and loved ones via exclusively technological means. These situations are so Ballardian as to be in the realm of copyright infringement.”

“Twenty-first century life was already Ballardian. The rapid transition, under the new viral order, into further extremes of technological alienation has only made it more so.” https://t.co/IDnD49NXWA — тцпдяапацт (@tundranaut) April 1, 2020 SOURCE: Mark O’Connell, New Statesman
