Music suitable for a #seasonal transit v2.0
Hold on tight, everything’s changing again. The only thing that never changes, is that everything changes.
So I started Autumn playlists on multiple platforms, because you never know when one of them is going to go down. I’ve been trying Apple Music, I’m not sure it’s quite ready. But I do love Josh Homme’s marvellous Alligator Hour.
As always a full comprehensive playlist for the long gone summer is here on Whyd, and Autumn has already begun.
The Fall – Black Monk Theme Part 1
William Onyeabor – better change your mind
Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes – Get Out (And Let Me Cry)

“More altruistic in the Money Game”
Nice to see some of the work we’ve done at BDH featured in this piece on the benefits of feeling insignificant.
It’s great to be part of something that makes people feel small. Thanks for the heads up, to my friend Kathryn Jeffs.

“Marshall McLuhan, what are you doin’?”
“I’m making explorations. I don’t know where they’re going to take me…. I want to map new terrain rather than chart old landmarks… As an investigator, I have no fixed point of view, no commitment to any theory—my own or anyone else’s. As a matter of fact, I’m completely ready to junk any statement I’ve ever made about any subject if events don’t bear me out, or if I discover it isn’t contributing to an understanding of the problem. The better part of my work on media is actually somewhat like a safe-cracker’s. I don’t know what’s inside; maybe it’s nothing. I just sit down and start to work. I grope, I listen, I test, I accept and discard; I try out different sequences–until the tumblers fall and the doors spring open.”
I attest to your grey matter.
“They said in the Eighties that painting was dead, well, painting hadn’t even started. It was such a narrow minded period of time, the conceptualists really tried to get rid of painting completely.
The area of imagination, the playing field for art, is so gigantic that no-one’s really explored it. That would be the legacy that I would want to leave, the exploration of what imagination can lead to, how it would compound itself to become expladential.
In other words what my generation does I would like to see another younger generation come and step on that and make that one step further into wild abstraction, to compound the poetry, make it lyrically remarkable.”
