thx to bill@immanentdiscursivity for sharing this hilariously awesome lookinassnigga-style google-img setting for el chombo’s pre-chacarron reggae/ton panameƱo classic, “el gato volador” —

i wonder how this might shed light on ethanz’s cute-cat theory?

    Who are the immanent discursivity guys anyway? I notice videos from this site appearing on their blog all the time, but there’s a bunch of other great material too, most of which I really enjoy. They seem to be able to steer clear of the obvious and both trawl great blog stuff and do good YouTube searches, and post it in timely and interesting way despite the limited format. Pity about the lack of a comment function (aka “asocial media”) but otherwise one of my fave blogs.

    I don’t know whether they’re willing to out themselves (despite winning such fans!), and perhaps bill/bruitus will be annoyed that I’ve given away his Christian name. In short, not to kill the mystery too much, the contributors are ethnomusicology grad students based in NY. Why they blog anonymously, I dunno. Too cheeky for prospective employers?

    Yeah it’s a bit strange. Some of the Youtube-detecting (or the stealing from other blogs? The non-attribution thing is another gripe I have) is brilliant, like the series of almost twenty globally-distributed Dragostea Din Tei covers they found last month. Shouldn’t that kind of skill be supported by employers?

    Oh man, Flack. “Lookin Ass Kitty” is great. I should have thought to search for that when the video posted above reminded me of the whole “lookin-ass” phenomenon. Thx!

    I hear you on the “asocial” aspects of that blog, Birdseed. Not sure what to make of it myself. Sometimes I don’t feel the need to tip my hat, esp for particularly memey things that just seem to be going around, but obviously — as with this post — sometimes I feel a little attribution is warranted, and a collegial gesture of sorts.

    Re: supported by employers, we can only hope. Interestingly, I happened to be in conversation with some prospective employers just yesterday, and we were all talking about how necessary it is becoming to value something like blogging alongside more traditional forms of research and “service.” Someday. Perhaps before too long.
