well-written article analyzing cronenburg's films and contrasting them with today's sexual politics and lack of eroticism.
passage i enjoyed: In fact, we are not impermeable packages of preformed desires, importing our likes and dislikes around with us from one encounter to the next like papers in a briefcase. An erotic craving is inextricable from the ferment that foams up when oneself is sluiced into another. Not only is it impossible for us to know whether an encounter will be deflating or transformative but we cannot know what sort of metamorphosis will ensue if the sex is as jarring as we can only hope it will be.

lately all i've been listening to is arthur russell. he was a cellist, composer and producer who wrote everything from folk to pop to disco. his own personal music was largely undiscovered in his lifetime as he was a notorious perfectionist who only released two albums underneath his own name while he was alive, but he collaborated with talking heads, dinosaur l, allen ginsberg and more in his capacity as producer. your motion says is my favourite song. what a fabulous artist !!
