‘The paper is rubbish,’ remarked Jasper, ‘and the kind of rubbish—oddly enough—which doesn’t attract people.’
‘Precisely, but the rubbish is capable of being made a very valuable article, if it were only handled properly. I have talked to the people about it again and again, but I can’t get them to believe what I say. Now just listen to my notion. In...

The Big Pink: 4AD Session →
“Playing several tracks from Future This, alongside spiritual cousin ‘Velvet’, taken from the first album, the session captures what makes The Big Pink such an intriguing band. Effortlessly moving between the outré sounds of the underground and their love for shameless pop hooks, the band display the full scale of their creative ambitions.”

Primary Passions: January 11, 2004 [On Blogging]
Today’s Ian Bogost’s post about the self-referentiality of blogging (and the humanities) made me remember this brief post of mine, published originally 8 years ago today on my now-deleted blog, Never Neutral. I wrote it when I was revising to defend my MA dissertation on Art Spiegelman and graphic narrative as a work of mourning, and at a time in which many colleagues and professors...

Traducción: "El regalo de Judas"
Aquí comparto la traducción que hice hoy de un artículo [£] de Adam Phillips que apareció (la versión original, no mi traducción!) en el último número del London Review of Books fechado con el 5 de enero de 2012. Al leerlo en el autobús de Londres a Bristol supe que tendría que traducirlo, aunque no tuviera el permiso para hacerlo o alguien me pagara por hacerlo. El texto me dijo: tradúceme.

Tattoo
Tattoo
The light is like a spider. It crawls over the water. It crawls over the edges of the snow. It crawls under your eyelids And spreads its webs there– Its two webs.
The webs of your eyes Are fastened To the flesh and bones of you As to rafters or grass.
There are filaments of your eyes On the surface of the water And in the edges of the snow.
-Wallace Stevens
