The talking is the worst! It sounds like his old videos. But I agree that the music is good.

Law and Order This is one of my favorite tv shows of all time. An interesting blend of investigative detective work and legal drama. There are great actors/characters throughout every season.

Any thoughts on the new album?

I have been trying to find an appropriate response to this all week. But I got nothing... haha

It helped as much as anything can really be said to "help" one read Heidegger. Heidegger translating the play in a very weird way didn't exactly make it any easier either... I have not read Dante, but I have wanted to for a long time. I am sort of wary of poetry just because I am not very familiar with it. Would you say that it is worth reading? I'm sure that greater Bible literacy would help one understand it better.

Antigone was great, though I mainly read it as some context for a section of Heidegger's Introduction to Metaphysics. It was actually pretty short, and it only took me about two hours or so to read. I would definitely recommend it! It has been a long time since I read The Brothers Karamazov, but I always remember liking the scene with the Grand Inquisitor. I need to read it again too.

Goatpenis might be exactly what you are looking for.

Good topic. My pick would have to be Varg Vikernes. He is the master of the minimal black metal riff!

I got a few new tapes and zines recently - mostly related to noise, though: Vile Vulgar - Private Art tape Swarm Survival - Moss Conditions tape IOPS Journal #3 zine Troubled Sleep #4 zine

Greetings! (I'm not from Brazil, though.) What bands and genres do you listen to the most?

Incidentally, I have been watching a lot of these documentaries recently as well (there have been some really good ones released recently), but thus far I have been lucky enough to avoid nightmares about them!

Speaking of Greek stuff, I actually just started reading Antigone last night! I have wanted to read Crime and Punishment for a while, but have never gotten to it. However, I did read The Brothers Karamazov, and I enjoyed it greatly.

I wish I remembered more about the background of this book that I read when I was working on it, but from what I remember it was pretty harrowing what he had to go through in order to publish it. I have always been amazed too by how willing some people are to speak about their work if you actually end up reaching out to them. I have only ever spoken with a few of the musicians that I like, but it's all relative I guess! Thanks, I will check it out!

That was the one about the Guantanamo Bay prisoner from his perspective, right? I had helped a professor of mine with a book chapter dealing with it a while ago, and thought that it looked really interesting.

Interesting. So what are you particularly looking to learn about?
