I recommend this “Baroque World-Jazz” mix from Dan Letson and a dhrupad performance by the Dagar Brothers, Berlin 1964: The Lost Studio Recording. The former has a soft civility, like a lucite candelabra, and the latter is soaked in grief—think of a bearskin wet with blood.

I encourage you to find a hard copy of The New York War Crimes. You will need it soon!

This Semiotext(e) issue of November is of interest, for obvious reasons. There’s a long talk with me in there but I am more fond of the eight other interviews.
I wrote about Chris Marker and his time in Japan. I also wrote about Arthur Russell and Steve Albini. Hold your loved ones close.
