Here’s a first: a link to a blog with no content on it as of yet. Brian Dillon’s Laughter, Tears and Rage promises to be excellent if it lives up to the promise of the published writings hyperlinked on the sidebar. Lotsa excellent stuff on Badiou, aphorisms, repetition, Bataille… (Brian has also provided a beautifully eloquent comment to the ‘Goebbels’ post below.)
Dave Stelfox with a couple of bang-on posts; one uses the Momart fire as a jumping off point for a consideration of the differences/ convergences between pop and visual art, i.e. when you see a Mondrian, what song do you hear?; the other is a hymn in praise of the latest Girls Aloud mistresspiece… (Look in Tom’s comments boxes btw for a link to a site with an mp3 of the single. It’s got Chris Moyles on it, but even that doesn’t compromise its magnificence).
Oliver with a brilliantly incisive post on Iraq – which makes me reconsider my previous dismissal of Paul Wolfowitz – and with a wonderfully evocative account of what he did on his holidays.
