I dug up this article from a 06 New York Times Magazine. It’s about déjà Vu and a strange condition called “déjà vécu” where the sufferer claims that “they continuously relieve the past and feel that a significant part of their daily experiences have happened before…In contrast to ordinary déjà vu experiences, in which the sensation instantly seems misplaced, to them, the experiences simply feel like memories”
“When we have déjà vu, we don’t act on it,” Moulin says. “But these people refused to watch television, they stopped reading the newspaper.” The patients were what cognitive scientists call “anosagnosic” — unaware of their condition. They also found situations to be more than just familiar; they believed that they were really recalling them, so much so that they invented memories to justify that belief. They were, to use Tulving’s phrase, time traveling to a reality that had never existed.”
What would the holidays be without the ceremonial family photo pic with the local shady Santa? Thankfully, we’ve been blessed this year with a collection of them from the dudes at Sketchy Santa, click below for a handful of our favorites.
First, I get a call that my computer is back from Apple Repair HQ in Texas, I brought it in because it would turn on but screen was pure darkness and unresponsive. Not awesome. The nice “Genius,” told me that it was probably the video card and I had nothing to but it “Couuuuld be the hard-drive,” WHAT! O’ and he informed me that my Apple Care ended three weeks prior, WHAT!! Well he way was off, to our surprise they had to replace the mother board and my super-drive. And for some insane reason, THEY DIDN’T CHARGE ME! WHAT!!! I basically have a brand new computer for free.
Here’s where the above photo comes into the play. Riding this high I decided to check out Penny Lane Records in Pasadena. I proceeded to come up on the one of the, if not the most eclectic batch of records in all of my days. Plus, I didn’t even know the Sebastian Tellier and Suicidal Tendencies records were color vinyl until I got home! WHAT!!!!
I went to Chicago for one day to DJ a party, I randomly jotted down things I noticed. It probably reads a little rough, but here goes:
Girl at whole foods told me to hold on to my crisp dollar bills because they are rare. Whole foods in Gold Coast had basically no health food or whole foods products. No yellow mustard, just Whole grain or Dijon. Man at liquor store wearing ninja turtles sweatshirt told me to come in after 6 because the girl working is a level one Sommelier. I was simply buying a travel pack of Benadryl. I consider myself to have a decent grasp on urban slang, but I couldn’t understand one word the woman telling me about her mileage offer was saying. I did the unthinkable and purchased a vita coco water at the airport for almost 5 dollars. Benadryl is the poor man’s Xanax. Chicago street dogs come with the option of fresh celery salt, pickles, tomatoes, etc. LA street dogs come with or without mayonaise. Grown man wearing a new my chemical romance hoodie.
Ever feel like god punishes you for having too much of a good time? No? Well unfortunately for me, the answer is yes. I woke up this morning with the second tonsil infection in two weeks. Lovely! The first time it happened people felt bad for me, now I feel like I’m telling people I have an STD, they just kind of look at me like “what the hell are you putting in your mouth?” thanks guys.
Having spent time with New Yorkers in San Francisco somehow makes me like this song.
What the hells wrong with me? I make no apologies.
Was reading Walter Benjamin and came across this passage on “the mechanical turk” hoax that happened in the late 1800s:
“The story is told of an automaton constructed in a way that it could play a winning game of chess, answering each move of an opponent with a countermove. A puppet in turkish attire and with a hookah in its mouth sat before a chessboard placed on a large table. A system of mirrors created the illusion that this table was transparent from all sides. Actually, a little hunchback who was an expert chess player sat inside and guided the puppet’s hand by means of strings. One can imagine a philosophical counterpart to this device. The puppet called “historical materialism” is to win all the time. It can easily be a match for anyone if it enlists the services of theology, which today, as we know, is wizened and has to keep out of sight.” (Benjamin Illuminations p 253) (italics mine)
The puppet called “______________” is to win all the time. It can easily be a match for anyone if it enlists the services of ______________, which today, as we know, is wizened and has to keep out of sight.”
Protip: I think there’s an actual correct answer for this fill-in-the-blank that applies to right now, with specific regards not to historical analysis but to what music signifies to people. What puppet is “rigged” to win all the time nowadays, and what is hiding behind it, relying on being hidden in order to operate?
I’m sure you’ve all seen the banners around town advertising, Collection: MOCA’s First Thirty Years. But maybe you didn’t hear that they’re giving us six free days to soak in the, 500 PIECES!!! I’m pretty excited to see this Ruscha installation and I always wanted to see The Big Wheel in person. I doubt they’ll fire it up but I can picture C. Burden scaring people to death when he first showed this piece, revving that motorcycle like a mad-scientist!
O wait I! I found this video of Mr. Burden making that 3 ton wheel spin, sadly… more of a “scientist” scientist than a “mad” scientist.
