i know none of you experience the grim thrill of extremely mundane advertising in the same way that i do (it's kitsch! come on), but... i saw the most baffling ad for pints of cookie dough -- you know, like ice cream, but cookie dough? and anyway that's not the point -- ignore with me, if you will, for a moment, that the flavor is called "the dough from ipanema" and it's just chocolate cookie dough with chocolate sprinkles in a cardboard pint jar availalble for mail order -- and investigate with me, if you will, what the hell "inspired by brazilian truffles" means. i thought they had truffles everywhere? and there aren't even any truffles in the doughp. i didn't misspell that. it's called dough pee. okay NOW you are ready to focus on why is it called that

2020 jan 16 // Today is happy mail day! Whenever I need a paper or ephemera fix, I order a little something from BadAssPaperlover at Etsy. And I’m very pleased with my latest purchase; it’s the first five photos in this post.

The next three photos shows another purchase I did from the Swedish eBay (tradera.se) It’s an absolutely amazing collection of one hundred postcards, which I will use in my paper crafts & arts. Here follows the description from the back of the box:

”This collection has some of the greatest comic book covers from the 1950’s and beyond. From classic science fiction and kitsch romance adventures to cautionary crime, grisly horror, and tragic war stories. There’s a multitude of legendary cover artwork from the golden age of comic books.”

And lastly, also from Tradera - I found an authentic old brass clip in the shape of a hand. It’s a small:ish thing, but quite heavy - and I can’t wait to lay it out in my new creative space, once we’ve moved to our new home (two weeks to go!) From the same seller I got a batch of various vintage tickets.

Gary Lloyd Noland has announced a new album: ENNUI SPREE

April 2023 - Gary Lloyd Noland is a forward-thinking music composer and artist focusing on creating music that falls outside the usual confines of genre limitations and songwriting. The artist’s most recent studio album, ENNUI SPREE, is a perfect example of how Gary Lloyd Noland can think outside the lines and create innovative yet relatable music. ENNUI SPREE features 11 songs that blur the lines between classical music, avant-garde experimentalism, and much more. The record has a romantic twist, highlighting Gary Lloyd Noland’s intuitiveness as a music creator. Everything about this album is unlike anything else out there. Not only is Gary Lloyd Noland inspired by timeless musicians such as Mozart or Strauss, but also contemporary composers such as Nino Rota, to mention a few. The release features many amazing musicians, including The Pimpleton Procrasturbation Ensemble, and pianists Myrna Setiawan and Ethan Dunne. Of the eleven songs featured, many have interesting and gripping titles, such as “A STERN PRUSSIAN HEAD-GOVERNESS FOLLOWS TO A T THE RIGOROUS CODES OF PRACTICE LAID OUT IN OBSOLESCENT VICTORIAN-ERA TOILET-TRAINING MANUALS FOR MICRO-REGULATING THE EXCREMENTAL EXCRETIONS OF HER YOUNG CHARGES, VIZ. THE SONS & DAUGHTER OF PROSPERITY-GOSPEL-BANGING FUNDAMENTALISTS AND THEIR BELARUSIAN MAIL-ORDER BRIDES” as well as “A TOP-SECRET INSIDE LOOK AT THE SURREPTITIOUS INTELLIGENCE-GATHERING SURVEILLANCES OF TRUST-FUNDED IN-CROWD WANNABES BY MARGINMAN AND HIS BOX-DWELLING BROHORTS.” 

The unusually long song titles add to the imaginative and vibrant creative concept behind this release and contribute to taking the listener somewhere else. The sound of the piano is lush, smooth, and dynamic, as there is a natural, roomy tone pervading the entire release (especially the smooth and organic sound of the piano). In addition to the “human” and lively performance value, this release is also quite distinctive because of the sheer quality of the production. The balanced and detail-oriented mix makes for a lively, edgy, and stark sonic approach. In other words, there are many subtle nuances in the tracks, which add to the richness of the work in terms of sounds. The frequency spectrum of the mix is also very balanced, with tight yet deep lows that work wonders with the smooth top end, which adds a sense of clarity to the music. The creative range is astonishingly diverse. The opening track, “FUNERAL WALTZ, Op. 91,” has a compositional structure reminiscent of turn-of-the-century composers with its elegant, understated style. However, the second track, A TOP-SECRET INSIDE LOOK AT THE SURREPTITIOUS INTELLIGENCE-GATHERING SURVEILLANCES OF TRUST-FUNDED IN-CROWD WANNABES BY MARGINMAN AND HIS BOX-DWELLING BROHORTS,” dives deep into unexplored musical territory. 

The song combines organic orchestral sounds, electronic glitches, and sound effects. This is a highly cinematic track, which feels like a journey through sound. The song “SWAGGERING SOFTIES” is another highlight in terms of pushing musical creativity to the limit and exploring sound not only as a way to create melodies but also as a way to transport the audience and explore a more tactile quality of music creation tools, such as instruments, effects, and beyond. In other words, Gary Lloyd Noland’s compositions are concerned with melody and compositional tropes and the pure timbre and formant of sounds. The song KITSCH PATCH is a perfect example of how the world of melody and the world of limitless experimentation can collide, creating something that’s unpredictably beautiful in the process.

These are only some highlights, as the album deserves a proper exploration from top to bottom. It’s not the kind of music you can just put in the background for the experience to be meaningful: this is a record that will reward the listener willing to pay more attention to it and focus on the track on a deeper level. Find out more about Gary Lloyd Noland, and do not miss out on ENNUI SPREE, currently available on CD, via Soundcloud, and other digital streaming services.

arch8 Re-Vision Design Competition 2021

1 July 2021

arch8 Re-Vision Competition

RE-VISION

We laughed, we cried, we raged against the dying of the light, which was the ending of our favorite shows. Sitcoms have been there since the dawn of tv… From a CRT television to a flat-screen to our laptops to all-powerful OTT platforms, sitcoms have come a long way. But there is always that one show, that one sitcom you can watch over and over. Whether it’s before you go to bed, during your meals, or after finishing the most boring assignment ever.

The one with a character you admire, the one whose dialogues are like your second language, you got the idea… Right! We’ve seen it so often that we are aware of all the details. So what if we tell you that now you can change it and show people your perspective. Show them how it could have been if these sitcoms were shot in this day and age with you as their interior designer. So now, you’ll have the same people as before but with the needs of today’s world.

Whenever we propose a design for our clients, we try to incorporate every requirement of them. But our ideas are based more on our experiences and less on the profiles of the users. Because well, for God’s sake we just met them!! So if we are provided the possibility of knowing our client inside out, can we now propose the best-suited design for them? (Of course, we can!)

Having said that, ARCH8 is here with yet another competition for you all, this time an interior designing competition. We shortlisted 3 most famous sitcoms of all time: Friends, Big Bang Theory, and How I Met Your Mother.

Re-design any one of the following apartments:

1. Monica and Rachel’s apartment 2. Joey and Chandler’s apartment 3. Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment 4. Ted and Marshall’s apartment

You can download the .cad files of floor plans at arch8.in

Character Sketch

A little something to help you out.

1. MONICA: Monica is a chef in her early 30s. She is obsessive about things being clean and in order. (‘ Things shouldn’t be just ‘health department’ clean, they should be ‘Monica clean.’) She likes to host gatherings and invite people over for dinners and parties. She is the ‘mother ‘ of the group and can be sometimes dominative.

2. RACHEL: She has switched jobs from being a waitress to an executive at Ralph Lauren. All her friends come to her for fashion advice. She likes to shop. Rachel is very careless (as she says,” I shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions anymore.”) She is funny, spirited but pretty self-involved. She does not easily get along with other women (“That’s OK, Girls tend to not like me”).

3. CHANDLER: Chandler is a funny guy (Jokes are his ‘thing’). Chandler works in statistical analysis and data reconfiguration but nobody knows where he works (he’s a ‘transponster’). Chandler’s generally embarrassed by his parents, his job, and his relationship status. His sense of humor helps him cope with all of these problems. He is notoriously sarcastic. He is the highest-earning member of his friends’ circle.

4. JOEY: Joey is an actor whose work can be seen in the show “Days of Our Lives”. He is a child at heart and a foodie (Joey doesn’t share food). He likes all the kitsch art. He never gets in a serious relationship. He is dim-witted but good-natured. He likes to play foosball and is a big fan of ‘Baywatch’.

5. SHELDON: Sheldon is a theoretical physicist. He lives his life with rules and regulations and is obsessed with logical reasoning. He is interested in comic books and science fiction. Sheldon comes off as a stereotypical nerd and really has no qualms about it (but he is not crazy, his mother got him tested). He is socially awkward and likes to spend most of his time at home and at work.

6. LEONARD: He is an experimental physicist. He is a huge fan of Star Wars, science fiction, and comic books. Leonard is extremely nerdy and mainly associates with people who fit this description (“12 years after high school and I’m still at the nerd table.”). He also plays the cello. He is lactose intolerant. He lives in the apartment by Sheldon’s rules and regulations.

7. TED: Call him an architect, a hopeless romantic, or a know it all, you can say that he’s the embodiment of it all. Since college, Ted has been in many toxic relationships where he was considered an outcast or “not traditionally cool” i.e dorky. Interests… telling stories, falling in love, believing in destiny, avoiding confrontation, Renaissance Faires, crossword puzzles, Star Wars, breakfast foods, show tunes, girls who play bass guitar, giving “the best” gifts, and reading serious literature. (Random girl: What made you want to be an architect? Ted: Well you know, the soul of an artist, hands of a master craftsman… it was inevitable)

8. MARSHALL: Though he is arguably the kindest member of the group, he never shies away from a spirited debate, usually shouting “Lawyered!” if (well, “when”) he wins. A lawyer who’s madly in love with his partner in crime, Lily (his fiance). Creator of a funk band called “The Funk, The Whole Funk, And Nothing But The Funk”, he is a 6’4, supernatural (i.e Bigfoot, loch ness monster, and ghost) nerd and a foodie with a passion for star wars and playing (and winning) board games.

Further notes on Vegas

From a letter to a friend:

What was really interesting was when I went to Vegas. Vegas is conservative middle America, and businessmen, it’s devoted to commodification and manipulation of desire. I’m going back to my notebook, where I started taking a few notes for a mail I was going to send you while I was out there but which I never got round to.

I thought I’d put down a few informal thoughts about my NAB time in Vegas. Partly to give you a sense of what it’s like, partly as process. Also partly because I feel the way to understand a thing is not to view it directly, but as Thomas Browne had it in his posthumously published Christian Morals (1716): 

“Besides, many things are known, as some are seen, that is by parallaxis, or at some distance from their true and proper beings; the superficial regard of things having a different aspects from their true and central natures.”

Vegas is so strange. The elements are incredibly simple, almost abstract. There are two monads: the city of Vegas and the Mojave desert around it. The desert is a place of a fierce allegiance and antagonism between the sun - which burns very fiercely in the arid air - and the rock - that strata of organic matter, a result of the permian-triassic megadeath,  a graveyard of 96% of all marine species laid down 252 million years ago in the shallow seabeds that covered the area, lithified and compressed by the winds and deep time.

JB Priestley said that as you travel southwest in the united states, you become more aware of geology than of human history. you can see the levels of geological time, and the contours and fluidity of the sierra, moving like waves through vast epochs (which is after all what they are doing).

The Paiute indians communed with the gods in the cosmos, and by the position of the stars, divined to know when the minimal sustenance the desert offered would be available: pine nuts from the pinyon tree, roots, and sagebrush. And in the centre of this harsh geometric plane, there is a central node, which is Las Vegas - The Meadows.  

I stopped there, or rather my writing disintegrated into the usual mess of half-legible notes and arrows &c. that represents a diffusion of thought. But if i had continued more coherently, I would have pointed out that, imagining that plane of the Mojave Desert, with its vivid night sky and cosmic holism, in which is that single point of Las Vegas, which is formed by the intersection of four very basic vectors: money, energy (namely electricity), water, desire. The manipulation of these comprises the four causes of Vegas.   There is one further coherent phrase in my notebook:

The single point of connection between these two monads is the Boulder Dam, now more commonly known as the Hoover Dam, across the Colorado River.

It may also be seen as the point of conversion - taking the cosmic system of the desert and canalising it into those four elements out of which Vegas was constructed and through which it is controlled or should i say through which it controls. This is as much the case in its efficient cause as it is in its material cause: The Meadows came into being as a consequence of the vast numbers of workers brought in to create the Boulder Dam. Out of the Great Depression and Roosevelt's New Deal, was built this Fantasy Land, designed to part people from their hard-earned dollars as efficiently as possible. To my mind the Great Depression is still present in its working. It still designed to appeal more to middle America than any notion of the high roller - all the Middle Eastern gambling takes place in Macau, I think. But what is that appeal? Maybe some people think they will go to Vegas and make it rich, but the whole thing is clearly about fulfilling desire. As such it equally clearly in its commoditised, processed verions of desire-fulfilment it represents an emptiness. I don't mean to patronise - the obvious extent to which Vegas goes about its business with such pathological determination suggests the people who visit are, to a certain extent, happy with what it has to offer, that they recognise the facade, and that what it gives is a proxy for desire fulfilment in return for cash. It is America's theme park, to an extent I didn't really realise - Lauren and her husband live in Lubbock, Texas, and regularly fly to Vegas at the weekend. It astonishes me that anyone would want to do this at all regularly, but people still do. The US ability to enjoy, in all sincerity, the ersatz is impressive really, or at least very un-English. This is different from the ironic enjoyment or awareness of the kitsch in the ersatz. Having said all that, I'm sure you like me have encountered many Americans who have an equally strong desire to consume that dangerous commodity, so auctioned by Old Europe - authenticity. As for the material causes, the Boulder Dam generates the electricity (much of this is i believe sold to California, which then sells it back to Vegas O_o), and the water from Lake Mead. This water needs chlorinating because it needs constant recycling to irrigate the Meadows with its pleasure fountains and pools. The heavenly mirage of the oasis comes at a huge exertion of energy sucked out of nature. The infernal equivalent in the desert is the dust devil raised out of a compact of convecting desert heat and wind to raise a whirlwind of dust above the ground. As is well known, I believe, Las Vegas negates the organic diurnal rhythms into a perpetual neon, oxygenated twilight in order to keep people gambling. I'd walk through the casinos listening to DAMN., across the grimy soft carpets, taking in the smell and texture of chlorine, ionized fag smoke, the chill of the aircon, ceilings painted like skies. The same mechanisms Vegas pioneered have since long been used in supermarkets and in all sorts of areas designed to optimise the ability to extract cash. Now many of the physical mechanisms seem quaint, with newer, more sophisticated mechanisms and algorithms sinking into the structures behind society and manipulating desire in ways harder to perceive than the gaudy excess of Vegas. As I say it seems almost innocent. And there is always an advantage to crudely set out versions of the mechanisms that control our lives in more sophisticated and hidden ways. The architecture is of course, in rather raw sense of the word, incredible. It reminds me of a science-fiction short story, where a doomed planet was forced to emigrate to another, fresher planet, suitable for existence. First they sent the engineers, who perished on landing, in a crash, then they sent the anthropologists, to recreate the cultural landscape - they also perished, and so on. Finally they sent the blue-collar workers, who created a bizarre fantasy world that represented their image of the world they had come from. So Vegas, as you know. Excalibur has knights in armour, kilted Scottish lairds, maids in dirndles, Robin Hood, and Celtic trappings, Paris has the Eiffel Tower jammed in it and quaint 19th century facades, Venice is all hispanic gondaliers and chlorine. (It is interesting that the Trump Hotel is the only hotel where its theme is itself). Behind these frontages are those huge car parks, separate ones for staff and for patrons, themselves the true backdrop of US desire. They're beginning to have to charge for the use of car parks, one sign among many that Vegas is in decline. As far as I can tell one area it still continues to do well from is business conferences. I think it's the largest conference facility in the US. And of course the answer to the question 'Why Vegas?' is because business was always the domain of men and so basically it was the place they could go to booze, get laid and gamble. According to a colleague, even comparatively recently (like in the last 20 years) some clients still expected to be taken to brothels. In fact, I don't know why I'm so naive - I'm sure that still happens. I know I've gone on at length, but this is the backdrop for NAB. It is, to my mind, all non-trivially weird and calculating at the same time. There is, as I say, a nauseating pathology to it all, especially when it comes to the cynicism of the corporate side. The male gaze is totally legitimised there. Men are released from the daily bullshit of having to pretend, and exchange conspiratorial glances and innuendo. That almost tactile male atmosphere a friend mentioned in corporate offices becomes a disgustingly thick fug, and you are treated with bare contempt if you are not the sort of person to enter into it. I do not want to come across as a blowhard puritan, but there is something about the rotten core of male business that gets exposed here. What am I saying, it exposes itself. When you get to NAB on the first day it's all still being put up - the chipboard stands will, in 24 hours, be glittering with encrusted media technology. It is all as flimsy and gimcrack as hell of course, like everything else here, including people's egos. There was a passage that struck me with great but enigmatic force in Gerhard Scholem's account of his friendship with Walter Benjamin: Among the books he [Benjamin] read in connection with this seminar was Daniel Paul Schreber's Denkwürdigkeiten eines Nervenkranken [Memoirs of a neuropath], which appealed to him far more than Freud's essay on it. He also induced me to read Schreber's book, which contained very impressive and pregnant formulations. From a salient passage in this book Benjamin derived the designation "flüchtig hingemachte Männer" [hastily put-up men]. Schreber, who at the height of his paranoia believed for a time that the world had been destroyed by "rays" hostile to him, gave this as an anaswer when it was pointed out to him that the doctors, patients, and employees of the insane asylum obviously existed. Flüchtig hingemachte Männer. I would like to know what Benjamin so designated by this phrase. It seems to me incredibly useful. So useful, that it's tempting to use it for every damn person you come across in the office or at an event like this. And yet it means more than just empty or fraudulent. There is of course the notion of a deception, not an individual deception, but structural, organised deception. But there is more than just the notion of the Potemkin Village, designed to assure anyone reviewing the event that all is well. It is a structural deception designed to undermine a sense of reality. It is a sort of power-structure gaslighting, which will imply insanity for anyone who doubts it. With the façades of Vegas, the temporary shanty town of media technology, the trouser-hoisting, proud droit-de-seigneur surveillance of the men, mutually assuring each other of their power and feeble, fragile virility, it was a phrase that continually ocurred to me, with a sort of haunting hypnosis. And DAMN. went from being something which seemed totally, socially rich and democratic to something that felt incredibly protective. I heard no Kendrick in Las Vegas. I'd put in my headphones and I'd find space to breathe. I remember listening to LUST on the monorail, with its line 'might as well overheat' and thinking yes, just let go, stop trying to control it, just overheat, let the pain overtake you, let it overcome you, stop trying to control it, allow it to annihilate you - it was also incredibly hot outside of course - and I just felt a sense of tranquility, and of distance from it all. At this point the entire album seemed to ward off the bad spirits of Vegas. It was private, and contained within it the world that I'd seen in San Francisco.

Mein Schwiegervater, der Stinkstiefel (2015)

Yo I’m on some kinda mad roll today. So I watched most of How To Be Single while doing cardio in the early evening, then felt unfulfilled and did some sick weights around midnight, while watching this. Feeling #swole as hell right now. best year ever!:-)

This just happened to be starting on CinemaWorld when I started my first set of bicep curls, and I was going to change the channel because I’m usually not into German films, the few that I’ve seen have always been really weird and kinda scary in the most human-to-human way (i.e. not ghost-type scary) and left me feeling a bit unsettled, and anyway I mostly avoid small-European-town films because there is no romance of the perfect White town for me, but the description said this was a comedy so I thought it would be safe.

There’s nothing funny about the film, I actually can never see lightness in anything that contains an unexpected death, even if/especially if it is depicted as not serious and quickly forgotten about (this is why I can’t enjoy black comedy or attempts at it), and there were 2 sexual harassment scenes (1 was really fucking scary) so, no, this is not a comedy, the issues of xenophobia and racial hatred and sexual exploitation are very real. But nonetheless (wtf? nonetheless?) this was really great and beautiful, the characters whole and believable (even if intended to be absurd), the cinematography typically sensitive and the shots well curated, the weight of the film very real and lasting.

It is saved from the kitsch depths of a bad film, from being too saccharine and feel-good with a necessarily unrealistic scene, in which the pastor bursts out in impassioned tirade against his racist/shitty/stupid audience in the pews. “Do you have any idea how hard life is outside for other people?”, he shouts (it was really nicely acted, not as heavy handed as it sounds), before exposing, and condemning, their “hypocritical morality”. This was muchly appreciated by the sweaty (thx, kettlebell!) me, because as I wrote in my Hot Fuzz review, small white towns ain’t shit:

I had to watch this film for a second time, because the first time I was on the treadmill in the middle of a particularly difficult uphill workout, but also because I was totally captured by the newness (daringness? Longtimecomingness?) of the suggestion that small towns/villages ain’t shit and couldn’t think of much else. For the fakeass veil of prettiness, perfectness, and absolute contentedness to be yanked off and for the true, exaggerated but believable, reality to be revealed was so appreciated. For so long I have resented pretend-utopias – I remember in January 2014 we came back from our first winter break in school and were sat in a mass circle discussing things that had happened in our home countries over the holiday, and perhaps to lighten the mood created by personal stories of the South Sudanese civil war, Israeli attacks and other grave and unfortunate strife, someone shared with mock-seriousness that the Norwegian King had changed the menu for the annual Christmas dinner, a move that had created a huge uproar (or something, didn’t listen properly, wdv, everyone sux). Everyone laughed and the Norwegians revelled in the smallness of their non-issues. Fuck, Norway (and the rest of Scandinavia) is not at all a problemless paradise, obviously, fuck everyone who romanticises it, and soooooooo what I want to say is that Hot Fuzz was special in showing the actual closed-mindedness that goes behind every idyllic setting.

http://nothingneverforever.tumblr.com/post/135985866121/hot-fuzz-2007

 Mein Schwiegervater, der Stinkstiefel achieved the same, yanking the prettified veil off snowy towns, but with much more subtlety and authenticity than Hot Fuzz (which had it’s many problems). Anyway this film made me think of many things, like mail-order and picture brides, sex tourism in Southeast Asian countries and other sad realities. Early on in the film I recalled a reading from my sociology module last semester (Transnational Marriages Within Ethno-National Groups, Michael C. Howard) and got distracted by trying to remember the stories from the reading, of the many various situations that bring white men to foreign lands for love. Everything is sad.

This was showing on TV under the name “Father-out-law”, but there is close to zero information about this film titled this way on the internet, most of the results I got from typing “father out law 2016” were about Jared Kusher LOL…
