I hadn't heard of these either, seem more an extension of the pith and
omniscience of Baudrillard and Zizek as well as the surface fetishiza-
tion of hiphop videos but what do I know. There was a group 'tch tch tch'
(the real name was written by arrows) in Australia in the 80s with similar
music and surfaces. On the political, does any of it matter - capital will
continue to enclave and increase, everything compresses as a result. The
videos tend to focus on the 1%, not the slaughter and extinctions of
humans plants and animals that come in their wake. Part of the real
violence against us is produced by our insistence at the burial of the
cost of these surfaces, an insistence that's comfortable and deeply
passive. It's "hard" to look at something dying, although there was a
flurry of fetishization of beheading videos on Facebook recently. How
cool. The only non-saving grace of all of this, is that it will rust like
everything else, as climate change increases its exponential onslaught.
Good luck to our always already dying progeny.
There has to be a better way.

Dear Michael,
I like these two videos very much. They are aesthetic, dreamlike,
mesmerizing. Great.

I had an interesting conversation with Steven on Friday about
vaporwave, which I'd not previously heard of.
Steven then sent me this:
