- @saffronslumber Fall classes start this week (tho I need to jump thru a few xtra hoops before classes REALLY start)-still need to make time. in reply to saffronslumber #
- @saffronslumber Ah, that one is not my photo (thankfully)- it's the bane of homeowners, AKA wet rot. in reply to saffronslumber #
- @saffronslumber Slime molds in general are pretty awesome. http://t.co/C5ey2HO in reply to saffronslumber #
- @ENE_RVA @DaveSeidel I can't say the ending ruined it for me, but the latter half of the book wasn't as good. The action stuff left me cold. in reply to ENE_RVA #
- @ENE_RVA @DaveSeidel Also Stephenson has a hard time drawing good female characters (but most male authors do). in reply to ENE_RVA #
- @DaveSeidel @ENE_RVA Still found it a pretty fun book though. in reply to DaveSeidel #
- @c_a_harebell The cover for Auzel's release should've been you in lingerie & stillettos. in reply to c_a_harebell #

- Listen to the first 8 minutes of my 12" record! http://t.co/gsM2JwE #
- "I only buy @ArtForum for the articles." – (wifey) #
- @ValhallArts Your son likes drones! That's encouraging! –Turntables not strictly necessary, when there's so much free stuff. in reply to ValhallArts #
- Today some Lyndon LaRouche supporters tried to use the Loveland USPS parking lot as a rally spot. Lotsa Obama w/ Hitler 'stache posters. #
- I'm sure the LaRouche guys thought the gub'mint was really getting them down when the cops showed up to shoo them outta there. #
- Leafcutter John instructs how to cook up piezoelectric crystals from baking soda & cream of tartar: http://t.co/rY5nyKt #
- My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Hamster Theatre (22), Alva Noto (16) & Testament (13) http://t.co/slnWdq8 #
- @Maraxnoise Thanks for the listens and for the shoutout! in reply to Maraxnoise #
- Earlier today I remembered that when I was a boy I was fascinated by the sound of a coin ringing in the air, and would flip them repeatedly. #
- Last.FM trivia: I'm about to hit my 10,000th play, and my "AEP" just hit 4.0 http://t.co/lnaX0hH #
- @c_a_harebell No fair! 😛 in reply to c_a_harebell #
- @disquiet You feel cleansed after going to Vegas? in reply to disquiet #
- An article about netlabels in the Jakarta Globe, newspaper of Jakarta, Indonesia: http://t.co/DiAJiwh #
- I approve. RT: @jupitterlarsen: ♣♧ Tattoo of Nothing: http://t.co/XptSgwr ♧♣ #
- Is your work identifiably tied to its time? #
- @saffronslumber Regardless, a good question to ask of oneself. What is the nature of something tied to its time? in reply to saffronslumber #
- @saffronslumber Does it have value *because* it evokes nostalgia, is its value enhanced by nostalgia? Or is it something else? in reply to saffronslumber #
- @saffronslumber Perhaps its value is lowered by an association with a time frame. in reply to saffronslumber #
- @saffronslumber That's something to answer for yourself. What about the "Hair" soundtrack released the same year? Tied to it's time? Bad? in reply to saffronslumber #
- @Maraxnoise Ah, good point. All politics are personal. Technology on the other hand…… (not to mention zeitgeist, that dreaded ghost!) in reply to Maraxnoise #
- Does the world NEED new art objects / sound objects? Aren't there already enough? #
- @Gurdonark That feels like an argument for the nowness of art and sound. in reply to Gurdonark #
- @Le_Berger Expand that! Why not? 🙂 in reply to Le_Berger #
- What's so special about OUR time that we have to have our own art? Wasn't all of the art already in existence good enough? #
- Is it a valid artistic statement to remain silent? To create nothing and do so with intent? To die and be forgotten? #
- @newpractice If there is a void, does it HAVE to be filled? in reply to newpractice #
- RT: @c_a_harebell: @vuzhmusic What I think is that people need to stop showing off all their stuff. Can't anything be personal anymore? #
- RT @c_a_harebell Look. I want to die forgotten. That doesn't mean I can't make art. I can be an artist and no one ever has to know about it. #
- @c_a_harebell ha ha. I'm just having fun with rhetorical questions. in reply to c_a_harebell #
- @Le_Berger I agree, of course. There are some artists, even on our level, who get a bit self-important though. in reply to Le_Berger #
- @c_a_harebell That reminds me of that Steve Martin story "the Bohemians" in reply to c_a_harebell #
- @c_a_harebell It was a STATEMENT of SHIT. in reply to c_a_harebell #
- @JRichterJ I keep telling myself that (usually right after saying something stupid). in reply to JRichterJ #
- Thanx @Le_Berger @Gurdonark, @c_a_harebell @newpractice @JRichterJ @saffronslumber @Maraxnoise for your thoughts! 😀 #
- @Le_Berger I'll take a veggie burger, hold the ego… and the mayo. 🙂 in reply to Le_Berger #
- @Gurdonark @saffronslumber What about the dark ages? What if a culture decided for a generation to intentionally refrain? Hmmmmm. in reply to Gurdonark #
- @saffronslumber Aha, was that class warfare? Or was this simply a matter of lack of documentation? in reply to saffronslumber #
- @saffronslumber (btw, I'm not arguing for or against anything… just thinking "aloud") in reply to saffronslumber #
- @saffronslumber What about my proposed imaginary cultural "silence", a new dark ages, this time on purpose? in reply to saffronslumber #
- @saffronslumber If it is art, and it is silent and undocumented, does it even need to be called art? Is it soemthing other? in reply to saffronslumber #
- MT: @saffronslumber: @vuzhmusic I guess what it comes down to in that case is whether or not intent alone can make something art. #
- RT: @c_a_harebell: I'm going to share my giant turds with you. Works of art, they are. You will love them, and hence I will be loved. #
- @saffronslumber The Modernists on the whole (Dada included) rebelled against the art establishment from within the art community. in reply to saffronslumber #
- @saffronslumber A strained metaphor: it would be like the tea party Congresspersons saying they are anti-Washington. in reply to saffronslumber #
- Cheebus. Did I really just compare the Dadaists to the Tea Party? #
- Congrats Dave!RT @SoundCloud SoundClouder of the Day is Dave Seidel, aka Mysterybear! Drone-microtonal electronic music http://t.co/BQIKg9W #
- @Gurdonark Yeah, but you also don't really want them to get too much into your personal space. in reply to Gurdonark #
- Just sent off one demo for cassette release. Another demo in the can. Debating self-releasing, but need a good master & my tape-deck sucks. #
- Vuzh Music release for August is by the Unseelie Court. Primitivist experimentalism, lofi & odd. http://t.co/XJCeVtf #
- Rick Perry thinks Washington is "a seedy place", and he's just the man to mop up all that seed. #
- @DaveSeidel I hope it passes and leaves the minimum of damage. Presumably you are not evacuating, then? in reply to DaveSeidel #
- @larkinhavens @ENE_RVA Every time they say it I get that godawful Cure song in my head. Thus I can't wait till we're on to the next storm. in reply to larkinhavens #
- @Gurdonark @larkinhavens @ENE_RVA I'm an unabashed snob when it comes to the Cure, and I can't stand anything after "Head on the Door" in reply to Gurdonark #
- @DaveSeidel Oh, that ain't bad. We had way higher than that every single night during the Winter when we lived in the mountains. in reply to DaveSeidel #
- @larkinhavens I loved that book! in reply to larkinhavens #
- @ENE_RVA What is that? Some new Cure thing? You've forgotten my snobbiness, I'm too cool to even KNOW about it! 😛 in reply to ENE_RVA #
- @larkinhavens Lotsa Hesse I reckon! 🙂 in reply to larkinhavens #
- @larkinhavens You know, I just recently read "Nausea" and I thought it was not depressing in the least. My teen reading was similar to yours in reply to larkinhavens #
- @larkinhavens Are you on the GoodReads? Or are we already connected there? I forget. in reply to larkinhavens #
- Life in America is a series of encounters with rigged carny games. #
- @Gurdonark I find beauty far more prevalent than hope. It is enough to keep me in frequent joy. in reply to Gurdonark #
- Fewer things I hate more than planned obsolescence. #
- @icystew When I first saw Mimi actually moving & singing it was a revelation. Best band ever for a short time. in reply to icystew #
- @plastikmanlive Tom Ellard blogged about Arkives… http://t.co/sfDOkBg #
- Ok, we're going up to the mountains to look for mushrooms. I hope that some are fruiting up there. #
- @sbtrmnl There is a place in one of our mushroom spots that has some incredible tiny wild strawberries, they are the size of a pea. in reply to sbtrmnl #
- @sbtrmnl We're not going to that spot today though. in reply to sbtrmnl #
- Retweeted by Richie Hawtin! I don't know if that's more or less notable than that one time I sat next to John Ritter's family @ a café. #
- @larkinhavens On a vampire kick, I see! Last year I saw a round table discussion about vampires in fiction w/ Margo Adler & Werner Herzog! #
- @c_a_harebell YESH MY MASHTER. in reply to c_a_harebell #
- Car… out of the shop, back into the shop, sitting in the garage now leaking trannie fluid… back into the shop. Fuck cars. #
- @JRichterJ Aw c'mon, give it a whirl. in reply to JRichterJ #
