Figuring out how to live a life (and become someone that others might find sexually or romantically desirable) by reading Kristeva or Deleuze or whoever is not the point. It might happen to come as a byproduct, but you're not gonna get a list of actionable items. It's not what theory does

That's why they claim to love classical philosophy so much, but only ever as "10 Lessons from Stoicism for Business Leaders" or whatever the fuck

To be clear, I don't think the left (as it appears in the original post) does "how queer people can get laid" either. Theory isn't a self-help book. Here's the difference—every time an "intellectual" on the right speaks of philosophy, it's as bullet-points of advice for young men

New @clppng.bsky.social vinyl arrived in the mail today 🙌🏻

At least you weren’t also tipsy

We’re pretty sure this will be our first ever in-person q&a in the US

Road sign spotted in Cornwall: "SPLATTEN VEAN"

One cool thing about Cornwall is that pretty much everything you see could potentially be an Aphex Twin title

Same thing happened with the Iraq War! So many savvy Responsible Adults later admitted it was a huge tragic mistake, but that somehow they were still right for supporting it when they did. Who did they still think WAS wrong, though? Those dumb filthy hippies who opposed it too early!

If you are a regular person I want you to stop calling the police on small time, nonviolent criminal behavior.

You see a person smoking in a park, doing graffiti, or skateboarding? You shut the fuck up.

Because it isn't a ticket anymore.

It's full on slavery.

The GOP is doing slavery now, by cop

There is a live recording on Jay Leno with a band doing an audible count in that essentially confirms this hearing. Ofc nothing but respect for Paak, Dupri, and all the others who hear it the other way. Brains are weird, music perception is weird

Yeah FWIW there have been fights within our own band about this exact type of thing

Only the hook really offers these other options as possibilities because of the layered vocal parts. The group-of-five-group-of-three option kinda works because the “I got my twin Glock 40s/cocked back” melody does that

It would be possible to rap as if the downbeat were elsewhere but it wouldn’t sound like what Luda is doing—“what in the world is in that room (snare)/ what you got in that room (snare)” etc.

Luda ends lines with rhyming words on the snares, as if they’re the 2 and 4. I don’t think he’s doing some complicated poetic enjambment he’s never tried before

Alright I finally watched this. Musicians can hear the beat however they want—what matters is that Luda thinks it’s #1. Rapping is part of the song. It’s a rhythmic element. Why is nobody listening to it? It’s not as clear in the hook but the verses are very simple.

To make the rhythmically cut-up field recordings in Run For Your Life, I ran though the neighborhood holding a cassette dictaphone to my mouth. I ran up to Jasper’s gate and got him to bark at me

I think it’s the same dog but recorded several years apart. His name was Jasper and he lived across the street from where we had our studio

Can we also stop using these terms without ever reading Laura Mulvey? The apparatus of cinema assumes a male gaze. It’s not simply transferable based on the body onscreen. There’s no such thing as the “female gaze.” If “wokenessisevil” wants to theorize one, he can, but he hasn’t done that here.

After reading that letter, I’m now realizing, on top of everything, Trump is in mourning. He had to order the murder of the only person he’s ever had any genuine affection for

It’s actually pretty good if you know the exact moment to turn it off and announce “the end!” out loud to everyone watching

New @clppng.bsky.social (one of four new tracks being added to the upcoming expanded edition of DCS). Very cool, has a strong trip-hop vibe. Kinda feels like a bridge between TEAATB/VOBBB and DCS. I'm excited to hear the others!
