Reading Mix (Detroit Style) Part IV - James Brown Version (Get Up Off That Thang)
Spinoza: Practical Philosophy, Deleuze - the girl lent this to me. Need to think about bodies of information in terms of Deleuze's reading of Spinoza.
Re:Up - Hip hop/electronica magazine found downtown yesterday. The Alter Ego issue. Wacked interview with Quasimoto (and one with Humpty Hump). Roland Barthes is my theoretical alter ego. Dr. Fabulous is my alter ego, period.
Datacloud, Johnson-Eilola. Just picked it up from interlibrary loan. Let's see what Johndan says...
Blink, Gladwell. Half way through. I agree with the notion of intuition, but Gladwell discounts thought too much as well.
The Oxford American, summer music issue. Also bought downtown yesterday. David Johnson at UF turned me onto The Oxford American back when - it's academics meets popular culture via the South. Every summer they used to put out fantastic CDs with eclectic musical offerings from the South: blues, jazz, big band, rock, country, novelty. Then there were a few years when nothing came out (the magazine has always had financial and other issues). This CD is as good as the others. Howard Tate? Man. That is forgotten soul. Johnny Winter's "You'll Be the Death of Me." Holy mother! This is Winter from way back. He sounds like another '60s rock want to be, missing that growl and anger of his later (Muddy-era) recordings.
Eating on the Street, Schaafsma. Just arrived. Literacy in the Cass Corridor. Might be worth reading for the Detroit book I'm working on.
