Well having read (painfully) a fair amount of Deleuze I can vouch for the fact
that what little confused meaning there is gets progressively more obscured the
more you read. Postmodernist bullshitting of the highest order!
I realise that this is being provocative and may spark off yet another heated
debate about postmodernism, critical theory, deconstruction, and all the rest.
I'm prefectly willing to go into great detail about why I think it's mostly
misguided and bad philosophy, but I don't think it's on-topic for this list, so
this is all I'll say.
Still, I've enjoyed your "diagonal reviews" as a kind of wash of words. They'd
never make me go and listen to/buy the music, and don't enlighten me very much
about the music, but hey the more reviews of any sort we have on the list the
better!
Peter.
P.S. Yes I should contribute to those reviews. Pretty busy at the moment, but
will attempt in a day or two to give some substantial reviews of some releases
that have really caught my ear lately: Kid606 & Friends, The Magic Sound of
Fenno'berg, Multiphonic Ensemble's Cirque, Mouse Parade's Ramda, and maybe some
others...
