Okay...I need an explanation for using a T.S. Eliot quote to support pomo ideology - or at least some kind of understanding of what discipline it is in which you feel you can make the application that it does. While I understand the sort of dialectical 'chain of events' which led to pomo theory in Lit. Crit, Eliot himself basically WAS New Criticism - a subset of Formalism - and is a far cry from things normally associated (e.g., post-structuralism, etc) with pomo. Just looking for understanding here, not one-upsmanship. You can hit me off list. Oh - for that obligatory on topic tag, let me suggest that the scuttlebutt about the new Rush Hour compilation is true. It's all that. Just got mine today and 7 tracks in, this is just fine fine stuff with enough interesting touches and influences to confuse category freaks. To my ears it works in 313, techno, IDM and maybe a few more.
