Short Schrift: Our Neanderthal Neighbors
http://short-schrift.blogspot.com/2009/07/our-neanderthal-neighbors.html
Notes on news, art, pop culture, politics, and ideas big and small. Caution: Reading may cause you to learn something. Thursday, July 09, 2009. Svante Pääbo, " Mapping the Neanderthal Genome. One thing that we're beginning to see is that we are extremely closely related to the Neanderthals. They're our relatives. In a way, they're like a human ancestor 300,000 years ago. Which is something that leads you to think: what about the Neanderthals? Would they be in a zoo? Or would they live in suburbia? Philad...

Short Schrift: November 2009
http://short-schrift.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Notes on news, art, pop culture, politics, and ideas big and small. Caution: Reading may cause you to learn something. Sunday, November 01, 2009. My 30th Birthday Present. Greetings, longtime readers of Short Schrift. I hope that all of you have been following my shenanigans over at Snarkmarket. Which consumes most of my blogly energy. For a little while, I was using Short Schrift as a links-and-quotes diary, but that function now is largely served by my Twitter. Links to this post. I Read That Somewhere.

Short Schrift: Why Michael Jackson's Death Feels Different
http://short-schrift.blogspot.com/2009/06/why-michael-jackson-death-feels.html
Notes on news, art, pop culture, politics, and ideas big and small. Caution: Reading may cause you to learn something. Friday, June 26, 2009. Why Michael Jacksons Death Feels Different. In the end death just seemed more out of character for Michael Jackson than for most people. Because through most of his life he and reality seemed at best on parallel but seldom overlapping courses. And death is reality, full stop. From Talking Points Memo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I also blog at Snarkmarket.

Short Schrift: Hallucinating Sovereignty
http://short-schrift.blogspot.com/2009/07/hallucinating-sovereignty.html
Notes on news, art, pop culture, politics, and ideas big and small. Caution: Reading may cause you to learn something. Thursday, July 02, 2009. For historians, state power rests on very thin crust. State actors manage imagined communities with invented traditions, but only for as long as the ritual works. States are ephemeral; sovereignty grows out of statements on paper and the performance of symbolic acts - here are the keys, General Jackson. Like Iraq and Lebanon? I think of the state as a consensual ...

http://chemicalfactory.blogspot.com/2012/02/elder-days.html
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else. Monday, 20 February 2012. This painting has always been one to randomly pop into my head,. Never quite sure if that is a good or bad omen. It is simply a wonderful painting. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The fall of Icarus. 20 February 2012 at 12:32. I love it. The Bruegels and Boschs and the colours. 13 November 2015 at 02:31.

The Chemical Factory: Weird tales for February
http://chemicalfactory.blogspot.com/2012/02/weird-tales-for-february.html
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else. Tuesday, 28 February 2012. Weird tales for February. My 'Belbury Poly' album arrived this morning in the post. I felt like a twelve year old boy again, excitedly waiting for the glimpse of Frank the postman coming round the corner, wondering if he'd have my record with him. The artwork, packaging and design are sublime and reason enough to own the vinyl version. Belbury Poly - The Belbury Tales. 28 February 2012 at 17:37. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Chemical Factory: Turn from the light...
http://chemicalfactory.blogspot.com/2012/02/turn-from-light.html
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else. Monday, 27 February 2012. Turn from the light. A late finish from work. a quiet and strangely still night. It can mean only one thing. the perfect horror of all time. Schalcken the Painter (1979). I cannot recommend this wonderful adaptation of Sheridan LeFanu's ghost story. It is quite simply magnificent in every way. The screen literally creaks with the pressure building atmosphere of sheer dread. Watch it on your own, in the dark, very late at night.

The Chemical Factory: Vampire fangs.. no teeth.
http://chemicalfactory.blogspot.com/2012/03/vampire-fangs-no-teeth.html
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else. Sunday, 4 March 2012. Vampire fangs. no teeth. Play for today; Vampires 1979. Sitting around at home whilst the parents are knocking back the Babycham and cavorting in lime green Ford Capri sports coupe's. Watching old Hammer Horror's and staking (! Out the local cemetery grounds for likely vampires. What's not to like here? Even Paul Shane drops in as the ex-uncle to provide free chips. This is your childhood. Or maybe it was just mine?
