Wild Neil, by the time such climaxic scenes occur, the macguffin has long since been forgotten. You knew that.
Avatar 3:17pm
MacGuffin:

(Is climaxic a word? What did I mean? You knew what I meant.)
Avatar 3:19pm
Wild Neil:

"Climactic" is what I knew you meant. Still, its cool to know that you are....here...at WFMU. Where else would you be, right?
Avatar 3:21pm
Wild Neil:

Suicide reminds me of the "Me and my Rhythm Box" from the movie Liquid Sky...the darker side of New Wave....although I understand they started earlier than that....
Avatar 3:21pm
MacGuffin:

What, then, is the adjective for things related to the climate?

The 'Hitchcock by Truffaut' book goes into quite a bit of detail about the MacGuffin...good read!

No, AW, 'meteorologic' is to 'weather' as 'climatic' is to 'climatic' as 'climactic' is to 'climax'...or should that be orgasmic?

ENOUGH!

Ha ha, Aphex Twin, really? Is that one completely unrecognizable and seemingly perhaps not actually related to the original (as with Aphex Twin's remixes)?

V Priceless:

apparently Vega was inspired to start a band after seeing The Stooges at the New York State Pavilion, on the grounds of the '64 Worlds Fair in Flushing (which I think was Iggy's first NY gig, in '70)...for those locals familiar with this totally alien-looking structure, which still stands, and is the subject of an excellent documentary called "Modern Ruin", it must have been a really cool & freaky place to see a rock & roll show!

His singing is like a kind of electronic shamanism;incantatory.
It's dark but beautiful and strangely pure. Never knew about him till this week and I'm finding his music compelling and singular.

New to Gate. Seems to capture the best vibe of 80s loop/cassette culture. Reminded of many lovely things.

There was a band from Norway called Gäte (note the umlaut) in the 00's. Art school kids making kind of like, heavy Radiohead type stuff. Not bad. This is decidedly different but I like it.

Not an umlaut, apparently, but a ring: Gåte
It means "riddle" according to the Google.

This is putting the clergy in the headspace for Trevor Wishart's RED BIRD. A little dining music for later...

This reminds me of Charles Dodge's "Any Resemblance Is Purely Coincidental," with JLL substituted for Enrico Caruso.
  5:16pm
Dean:

..."this" being the Trythall. This, on the other hand (being the Aaron Martin), reminds me of Ingenting Kollektiv.
  5:20pm
Dean:

"Any Resemblance..." was '78, hence the substitution runs in the other direction. I suspect Dodge, too, was composing with razor blades.
