“Anita’s public persona is too much of the moralist, Milo’s is too much of the aesthete. But note that an aesthete without morality is actually a bad aesthete. Milo thinks he’s Oscar Wilde but he’s not – he’s Dorian Gray”.
Funny you should say that, I was just binge-watching Milo last night, I find him absolutely hilarious. (Also, I once listened to a fairly recent, very long and very humanising interview of Milo with Dr Jordan Peterson in which the latter basically psychoanalysed the former and actually made him seem slightly human instead of just his public face, which is indeed that of an a*****e beyond measure — and which I nonetheless find highly amusing, even when he’s being flat-out wrong, which isn’t infrequent. )
He’s funny and great at being a provocateur, I’ll give him that, but as Contra says he’s far too much style and not much substance and he’s kind of delusional to think that he could reshape the Republican party in his image, when the reality is they would most likely hate his guts if he wasn’t supporting them. It’s also amusing how quickly he’s fallen into irrelevance that he actually got milkshaked and nobody even noticed while the ‘attacks’ on Farage and others were big news worldwide. Still, I think he definitely has the entertainment value aspect down, as you say. On Jordan Peterson… blergh, I think I’ve made my thoughts known elsewhere on here.
Anyways, before we get too off topic, I’m listening to this:
I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

I cannot fathom why you find JBP so objectionable. Even Contra thought he wasn’t that bad — I got the impression she rather fancied him
Anyway, I’m listening to my Paul playlist again CUZ I’M NOT DONE MACCA-ING YET

Dead Kennedys, cool! I used to own the full DKs discography in uni, while their obscenity trial was ongoing. (I don’t think I needed it all; they were pretty stale by the end.)
Now playing: EW&F live
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

Lol, I love that section of her video. The bath scene is absolutely hilarious I guess I just dislike his worldview of using ‘postmodernist neo-Marxism’ as a bogeyman for most issues, despite the fact he had never even read any Marx in his life before the his Zizek debate. Contra does a good job explaining why this isa bizarre and outdated analysis of the world, but I’d recommend Three Arrows’ videos ‘Jordan Peterson doesn’t understand Nazism’ and ‘How Cultural Marxism Became The Far Right’s Scapegoat’ if you would like to see his work picked apart in a less abstract manner.
However, I did read a little bit of 12 Rules For Life in a bookshop yesterday and found it much less objectionable than his speeches, in part because he made much more of an effort to be concise, and to be quite honest I find him far more interesting than most other figures popular in that sphere of youtube. Maybe I’ll buy it at some point soon.
RE Dead Kennedys: Yeah, I think their final album from what I’ve heard is less impressive, but their best stuff is amazing. I’ve been on a huge kick of them recently, since Jello’s lyrics in songs like ‘Stars and Stripes of Corruption’, ‘Soup is Good Food’ and… uhhhh…. ‘Kinky Sex Makes The World Go Round’ honestly blew my mind the first time hearing them.
Now listening to Audrey Hepburn’s Moon River.

Wings – ‘London Town ‘
Still drifting through my Paul playlist. I’ve listened to ‘Little Lamb Dragonfly’ at least half a dozen times today.

King Crimson – Lizard
https://www.reddit.com/r/KingC…..this_is_a/
I always liked Lizard – it’s Crimson’s jazziest album, and one of my personal gateways into investigating the world of modern jazz properly.

That’s “Silas”, “Jude”, “Jonah” and “Rufus” with the circus clothes and big nose!
“Happy Family”
Brother Judas, ash and sack, swallowed aphrodisiac.
Rufus, Silas, Jonah too sang, “We’ll blow our own canoes, “
Silver Rolls from golden rock, shaken by a knock, knock, knock.
Happy family, wave that grin, what goes round must surely spin;
Cheesecake, mousetrap, Grip-Pipe-Thynne cried out, “We’re not Rin Tin Tin.”
Cousin Silas grew a beard, drew another flask of weird
Nasty Jonah grew a wife, Judas drew his pruning knife.
Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none came back
Silas searching, Rufus neat, Jonah caustic, Jude so sweet.
Let their sergeant mirror spin if we lose the barbers win;
Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none came back

So Happy Family is about The Beatles’ breakup then?
I did enjoy Lizard. Neither it or Poseidon were as great as the debut album, but I’ve heard great things about Lark’s Tongues, Starless and Red, so I’m optimistic.
Right now I’m listening to Schlagenheim, the debut album by a new British band called Black Midi, whose sound is pretty much indescribable. Bits of funk, bits of prog, bits of free improvisation and noise. I’m not at all sure what to make of the album yet, but this non album song is a pretty good introduction to their sound.
