@fred I think the first software developers wouldn't call it such to their friends.. they'd thought it would lead them to think it had to do with underwear and such..
@Rev Hey, when the net goes belly-up, folks'll be forced to retreat back to print! It's why I'm thankful to hang onto my hilariously archaic title of "Underground Newspaper Editor."
@Fred: Got suggestions for record stores in Paris? I'm gonna be there for a couple days in September. Soufle Continu is on my list. Where else should I go?
@Devin B: That's the place to go. If you're into hardcore and punk, Macario could be an option, he has a store at Cirque Electrique sometimes (if you're into that, maybe I could arrange for you guys to meet). Contact me a week or so before you drop by, and I'll send you a list of interesting things going on (not compiled by me)
@Devin B: my info is hopelessly out of date, but there used to be a bunch of stores on Rue Keller just west of the Bastille and La Marais. I went to a store on that street a few times back in '03 that I think eventually became Born Bad Records. It was where I first picked up one of the Ethiopiques series (volume 4, a banger). Nevertheless, research the street to see if any of the vinyl shops are still around.
We had so many of those jokes in elementary school.
I saw it the resultant smoke cloud. It was 26F/-3C at 10am, and my field trip was to see the Pinocchio play in downtown Jax. When my mother told us what happened, there was a sideshow bob cloud to the SSE.
Ok, my idea to make curry chicken tacos fell through, the tienda mexicana had no tortillas and the cream only came in bags. So, eating Indian fried chicken, w/ Honduran queso and ghost peppers......
Visiting Survival Research Laboratory's site is weird. It's almost just like it was in the mid-90s, when it was one of the first website's I'd regularly access.
@geezerette: Mondo 2000, like RE-Search, were mags I could only occasionally find here in France at the time. That was pre-internet, so most issues were from years before. Different times (I'm old)
Fred 3:30 - alas not this time. This is a visit to some of Mrs. relations + big bloated birthday for Rev. No noisemaking. But gotta get some rekkid/book shopping in as well.
@fred LOVE RE/Search! Was just thumbing through the Incredibly Strange Films book for the first time in ages. I still snap up anything from them I don't have at used bookstores.
Speaking of Subgenius, High Weirdness by Mail was such an essential book. By the time I stumbled across a copy in high school most of the addresses were long out-of-date, but it still expanded my mind considerably. First place I ever heard of both Negativland and GG Allin.
I was into role playing games, and Steve Jackson Games reissued the Principia Discordia. And I was born again and accepted Eris as my personal whatever
@Fred, I owe you a sort of apology for stupid touristy remarks about Paris.
Don't know the city intimately and came to it through the tired old lens of art history; but we sat on a beach at Sete and had an extremely enlightening conversation with an Algerian Au Pair.
Also realize that like most established western cities, Paris itself was partly an historic theme park surrounded for many miles by fairly desperate suburbs.
@geezerette: What do you apologize for? You didn't make that. The "desperate suburbs" is where I live, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I guess I could choose otherwise though, which makes me complicit. But I don't think it's a choice by now, I'd so miss the immigrant vibe
geez @4.14 (i scrolled up looking for a reference but gave up on that but saw this!) when i was maybe 8-10 my mother brought us to a garage sale and my older brother found a box of mad magazines. i'd never heard of it or anything like it. we split the cost. leaf-raking money so it couldn't have been very much. ($4-5 at most) at least 40 magazines. basically a treasure chest.
@Fred, there are about 42,000 homeless people within the city of L.A.; an unforgivable tragedy.
There are around 100 languages spoken in L.A., we're proud of that.
Our older suburbs have been absorbed into the city, beyond which are exurbs.
Just wanted to say that I know Paris, like any great city, is as much a brand and a fantasy as it is an actual place.
i'm with you, geezerette. wondering: do we love paper because of our associations with certain kinds of printed matter .. or because of its intrinsic qualities?
i like paper too. though i'm thankful for kindles, for all these youngsters who are desensitized to electromagnetic radiation, for the trees it saves, i just wont read a book if that's my only option. i just got 3 books from thriftbooks in the mail yesterday. very happy i found this company, since i'm loath to support amazon.
From a designer perspective, (my own POV), paper is far superior to digital because the designer is in absolute control of how content is absorbed. You manage eye-travel, the entry-points, the pace of reading, introduce strategic interruptions & disturbances when useful, etc.
But with digital, you give up that power to the reader's fekkin' device, which re-interprets your work in different ways. No control, no quality assurance, design is dead dead dead.
Also, when is digital catching up with that: 2.bp.blogspot.com...
(My fave bookshop, I only use Amazon to get references so I can order from that bookshop, and yes, I pay more for that)
hello Scott and everyone!
@ Linda Lee -- thanks to my Mom, i have "The Last Whole Earth Catalogue" (cover price: a whopping $5.00!) -- i am guessing precisely because of those POSSIBILITIES . . .
my Mom was not exactly an "activist" but she cared deeply about the state of the Universe -- and even though i was only 13 in 1972, i think she understood that i did too . . . .
