5882 [lbo-talk] Let's Argue About Sonic Youth's "Retro-necro reverence"! -- rank: 190

Haha, coincidentally this was a link in a chain of events that led to a great war over Badiou in that corner of the British blogsophere. It started with a mildly dismissive comment by Mark Fisher (k-punk) in The Wire, which was picked up and politely disputed by Zone Styx ...

5883 [lbo-talk] Americans think about the public option -- rank: 190

[WS:] I think you give the Reaganites too much credit, Charles. The US standards of living are in a slow but steady decline since the 1970s, and downwardly mobile societies tend to espouse a conservative political outlook. So controlling for that generally conservative trend, Reaganites do not seem to add ...

5884 [lbo-talk] Let's Argue About Sonic Youth's "Retro-necro reverence"! -- rank: 190

I am not as down with Sonic Youth as I was when I was in college, but the new record is surprisingly a very strong album, and Matador is a better label than Interscope/DGC, for the band. It should serve them well for the next few years. I read the ...

5887 [lbo-talk] (no subject) -- rank: 190

[WS:] Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of public opinion in the US - at least to an outsider - is contrast between general access to information and education on the one hand and the total lack of understanding how institutions work on the other. This, however, appears to be an illusion created ...

5888 [lbo-talk] american individualistism -- rank: 190

It took me a while, but after mulling over Wojtek's response I think I've figured out why I dislike Fisher's argument. The historians, and historicist debates, Fisher reviews are looking for some sort of empirical, some sort of material, evidence for a shift to or shifts in the ...
