My new piece on Wired is
Blogging with a wooden tongue. But here in meatspace I'm just finishing a song called "Ex-Erotomane" which is, if I may say so, a classic piece of Momus. You can hear lots of Gainsbourg and Leonard Cohen in it... although I don't think any of their songs contain the line "Ex-gokkun princess white pearl necklace sperm bukkake jeweller". The song mentions St Augustine, the tearaway who changed his ways and dedicated his life to building the City of God, so here he is, with a rather lovely hairstyle.

Date: 2005-11-29 06:16 pm (UTC)On the subject of the CCP and blogs, it is common knowledge that they employ commentators to profer online opinions and to troll 'anti-CCP' blogs. This (http://uvgarden.blogspot.com/) odious little apologist used to haunt me, until he founded his own 'Garden for Universal Values'.

Date: 2005-11-29 06:18 pm (UTC)* The Yokohama Triennale is an international art event. It aspires to global reach, and the appearance of the director's blog in English signals this ambition. It is a blog I "can actually read".
* My attention was drawn to the blandness of Kawamata's blog by the blog of another Japanese curator, Roger McDonald at Tactical Museum (http://rogermc.blogs.com/tactical/). Roger is based in Tokyo, half Japanese, and thinks that curators' blogs could be more controversial than Kawamata's was.
* Asian countries are a part of the world we live in, and increasingly so. It's silly to exclude them. Even the Prince Charles comment at the end referring to "appalling waxworks" is a reference to China.
By the way, I find Kawamata a very sympathetic character, and this issue of "breeziness" versus criticism-as-hard-love is one I'm very conflicted on. It's actually what links my article with the album I'm working on right now, an album which is more on the side of Kawamata than Prince Charles (in terms of the binaries of the "Wooden Tongue" article).

The same thing happened to the web in general. There was a time when companies didn't think it useful to have a website.
It doesn't seem that long ago that I picked up a pack of cookies in a store and noticed a URL and thought "why the fuck would I want to go to Nabisco's website?"
