Feature: 2018: Favorite 50 Music Releases
Click, click, click, and post. Imagine a world like that, on the blockchain, saturated in computation. Imagine archived conversations rendering half-correctly. Imagine changing history, and therefore reality, by Photoshopping an image. Imagine missing the next bull run. Imagine getting sick, and then letting toxic chemicals show you how not to feel. Imagine caring for that person. Imagine your…

Feature: 2018: Against Worldbuilding
In 2018, do we laud our creations enough to call them worlds? As we turn the knob of a Breville BOV650XL toaster oven and scrape strawberry jam over the 1,000 nooks and crannies of an english muffin, are we vain enough to proclaim a new world? Our special individuality suggests that ourworld is made up of billions of particular worlds. Our bizarre social ingenuity demonstrates that there is a…

There is a space for you here.
2. Still, absence doesn’t eradicate. If a ring is something else without a digit to…

“The fact that the question ‘Who is a Jew?’ can be posed at all gives me an uncanny feeling […] [In] what world, in what environment, in what relationship to the problems of our time? This is how, I feel, one should pose the question if one poses it at all.” – Isaac Deutscher, “Who is a Jew?,” 1966
Jewish congregations, in my experience, often chant prayers in a beautiful, dense, enharmonic…

Feature: 2018: Favorite Cover Art
Last year, I felt disillusioned with the steely transhumanism that much of my favorite music wallowed in. I’ll always appreciate the clattering, warped sounds that emerge from labels like PC Music and Hyperdub, but I felt hesitant to fully embrace their graphic design. Artwork entrenched in artificial intelligence and the uncanny valley is prescient and necessary, but curating an aesthetic that…

Feature: 2018: Who Controls Music?
On September 12, 2018, the European Parliament passed the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (a.k.a. the EU Copyright Directive), an omnibus bill covering questions of copyright in the realm of social media. Key to our concerns is Article 13, which would essentially require social media outlets and user-based content platforms like YouTube to filter out potential content for…
