May The Cycle Remain Uncompleted

In our first episode in a year, we return to discuss the notion of “completion.” Why “the cycle has been completed” is a specter, the un-finality of death, the afterlives and postscripts of friendships and creative works, “getting it popping,” messianic time, ascendance to Unc-hood, and more. We also ponder Nick’s recent visit to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin III in Spring Green, Wisconsin, discussing the need for a recommitment to the creation of new forms as we enter a possible ice age for language.

Eternal Present feat. Sam

On this episode we’re joined by our young friend Sam (S. Posner [https://substack.com/profile/14657483-s-posner]). We discuss intergenerational dialogues, Massachusetts regional nomenclatures, the foreclosure of futurity and the miraculous eternal present of Chicago’s Bop music, the twilight of adolescence, the ungovernable nature of online personae, ecstasy, Marxism’s afterlives, Antonio Negri (RIP) and the possibility of separation from capital’s false totality, and much more.

The Plea feat. Eamon

On this episode we’re joined by our friend Eamon, who tells us about his exile in language as Irish-American absconded to Colombia. We talk small-town Irish mythology and small-town Minnesotan mythology: drinking naggins, smoking spice, avoiding faery forts, Irish Travelers, being a dodgy teenager, and much more. Finally we get into a rather serious discussion about the insufficiencies of language and the miracle of communication. When language fails, what happens next?
