scrubjayspeaksOut of seven shows today, four of them (Desert Oracle, Chant of Le Barroux, Song of the Day, and Deep State Radio) are ones I subscribed to on the recommendation of Warren Ellis, who seems to consume a truly alarming quantity of podcast. Just observing. Warren owns a lot of real estate in my head meats these days.
Desert Oracle Radio - episode 033, High Desert Death
Macabre and weird and lonesome as midnight on the highway. This man's misanthropy speaks to whatever passes for my soul. Why are humans so goddamb self-destructively obtuse? "You can look up the details if you want. They're all bad details." I mean, that's it right there for me.
Crazy; In Bed - episode 4/9/18, Sensory Deprivation with Jordan Temple
A really interesting bit about trying to shield one's loved ones, especially parents, from one's mental illness. In particular, this exchange about how a mother responds to a child's negative self-image: "Hold up--I made that." To which the adult child responds: "You cooked it wrong! It's burnt!"
The Chant of Le Barroux - Lauds for 2018-07-15
Never listened before--soothing option while in the library during "phone charging for loud and agitated people" hour, which seems to be every evening I'm in there. The hallelujahs in the midsection were quite nice. Though I did have the abrupt thought that chanting in latin (?) sounds like what my sensory processing problems do to people speaking: I can tell that language is happening, and a few words sort of rise to the surface, but it's mostly just rhythmic noise. Please excuse my nonsense--it was a very long day.
KEXP Song of the Day - oso oso - gb/ol h/nf
No idea what they said at any point--NOT my sensory processing this time. Gave me serious high school nostalgia feels just with that particular indie sound. Especially the bridge during which the sound shifts to "plugged my mic in wrong somehow and then sang at it from the next room over." I'm not being sarcastic--I liked that.
FiveThirtyEight Politics - episode 07/16/18, Trump Meets Putin
This is little more than self-inflicted suffering.
Deep State Radio - episode 07/16/18, Putting the Hell Back in Helsinki
Slightly more wryly humorous suffering.
The Tolkien Road - episode 0005, The Silmarillion Ch02
Currently in progress. *singing* ~~~I resent the hell out of Tolkien's treatment of the dwarves~~~ Which is a take deeply lacking in nuance, but fuck it. Jewish stereotypes plus this theological ranking of creators/creations--not thrilling me. For reasons best explained by the phrase "it seemed like a good idea at the time???" I am listening to two whole podcasts dedicated to analyzing Tolkien's works, and I am subjecting myself to both their takes on the Silmarillion at once.
