<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's a nearly 30-page fanzine devoted to books, authors and writing. The debut has an interview with the </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> amazing <b>Jodi Angel</b>, who’s written some of the most moving and
transcendent short stories of this or any era. There’s a big piece on
the <b>Rick Perlstein</b> trilogy on 1960s-1970s American upheaval and
turbulence. I’ve even crafted “The Final Word in Defense of E-Readers”.
And over 20 book reviews to round the thing out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Read it below, and/or <a href="http://www.hedonistjivebookreview.com/" target="_blank">come to our new website</a> to download the free PDF or read it online. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I probably left The Hedonist Jive on life support for at least a year too long, but after five years, I'm going to shutter this thing. In 2015 it's clear that the "generalist" blog is anachronistic to the point of mockery, and while I don't actually <i>mind</i> being a digital throwback, I do figure that since your attention's probably elsewhere (most Hedonist Jive posts get anywhere from 1-15 readers), there's not much point in me keeping this thing going any longer.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Hedonist Jive was meant to be my dumping ground for all music, film and book reviews, as well as the <a href="http://www.hedonist-jive.com/2014/05/on-isla-vista-murders-and-our-malignant.html" target="_blank">occasional political rant </a>or batch of <a href="http://www.hedonist-jive.com/2013/07/a-few-motel-postcards-i-thought-you.html" target="_blank">weird collector postcards</a> - and on that front, we did pretty well until roughly early 2014. Then it pretty much puttered out and was solely a place to post my <b>Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio</b> podcasts, which themselves are puttering out. Then we had some sort of weird flare-up with Google and their domain hosting system, and I "lost" <i><b>www.hedonistjive.com</b></i> to some domain squatter (good luck with that!), and had to change this one to <i><b>www.hedonist-jive.com</b></i>. All told, any readers who were still hanging out were scared away or bored to death.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, I'm focusing most of my energies at the experimental/sub-underground music blog <a href="http://finalsounds.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">FINAL SOUNDS</a> and the sub-underground rocknroll music blog/podcast/fanzine <a href="http://dynamitehemorrhage.com/" target="_blank">DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE</a>. Thanks for reading, and feel free to troll our back pages for nearly 500 posts over the past five years. </span></span>Jay H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06153081608332918241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280759154033152778.post-82287069175422356362015-02-04T21:56:00.000-08:002015-02-04T21:56:35.086-08:00DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO #54<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">After a painful 3-week absence from our studio and mixing desk, by which I mean aging laptop, we've returned with a new hour-long <a href="http://www.divshare.com/direct/26725835-1d3.mp3" target="_blank">DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO (#53)</a> for you and yours & for the people, too.

Whew. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">What's more, we didn't stop there. We also added library material from <b>The Meat Puppets </b><i>(pictured here, back in 1980)</i></span><span style="font-size: small;">; <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>The Silver; Coolies; Rotters; Flesh Eaters; Dacios</b> and much, much more.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Couldn't believe what an unmitigated delight it was to put it together for you.

From the most simple of precepts comes a dark, and darkly funny, exploration of male emasculation in our modern, purportedly gender-equitable age.

Early in the film, while sitting on a balcony overlooking the slopes while they’re about to lunch, the family and everyone surrounding them witness a controlled, explosion-driven avalanche about to head toward them. Initially they marvel at it before realizing that it’s about to swamp them all, and with that, husband Tomas (painfully played in all his emasculatory glory by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Johannes Kuhnke</strong>) grabs his iPhone and gloves in sheer terror, and sprints away – leaving his wife and two kids to fend for themselves. Seconds later, disaster averted, people begin returning to their tables, and among them is Tomas. He’s unaware that he’s just caused a fissure in his family that will take the rest of the film to play out.</div>

Is it the man that’s supposed to be heroic? Or the woman – who, it could be said, was the heroic one in their instant of panic? A comic foil is introduced in the form of Tomas’ friend Mats, who arrives with his 20-year-old girlfriend and who lends the film much of its emasculatory tone in his brief moments of trying to cope both with Tomas’ struggles with guilt, as well as with his own issues. Some great stereotype reversals take place here as well; it’s<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tomas</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>that hysterically cries in public about his marital problems, not his wife Ebba; it’s<em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mats</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>that needs to stay up and “sort through his issues” late at night with his girlfriend, while she begs him to please stop seeking instant therapy and go to sleep.

Set in early 1980s Stockholm – and entirely filmed during the frozen winter, giving that gorgeous city an undeserved bleak and depressing feel – it centers on two bored 13-year-old outcasts and punk fans, Klara and Bobo. Klara’s the domineering, pretty, somewhat reckless one (I recognize many punk rock women from my teens and 20s in her); Bobo’s the more introspective, sullen, cautious and altogether<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Swedish</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>of the two.</div>

They’re already full-on into their rebellious teenage years, and their wacky homemade haircuts and jarring music are contrasted with the staid ordinariness of their peers and families. They’re sweet girls, to be fair, and they recognize a third misfit outcast – a talented classically-trained musician named Hedvig who just happens to be a full-on Christian – as a potential member of their made-up band.</div>

How do they get into a band? They’re simply called “ugly” by a group of cheeseball heavy metal dorks called Iron Fist, and on the spot, they form a dissonant punk band despite not possessing even having a shred of musical knowledge. No worries, Hedvig does, and once we get through a few comic scenes of Klara and Bobo awkwardly trying to integrate her and her long, pretty hair and Christian values into their worldview, they’re off and running with rad songs like the anti-sports “Hate the Sport”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">(“Hate the sport / Hate the sport / Hate hate hate hate the sport.”) .<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em>Hedvig becomes the unifier of three different teenage rebel streaks, and is a nice token to show how punk rock was such a great leveler in so many ways.</div>

Speaking of great songs, they encounter a punk band made up of two guys who perform a song called “Brezhnev Reagan” for them -<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">(“Brezhnev and Reagan – fuck off!

While the movie’s received a great deal of praise simply be being fun and joyful – and believe me, it’s eminently watchable and even a delight in parts – I’d perhaps hoped for something a little more cutting.

A harrowing film of surveillance and state repression that somehow was made within China<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">about</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>China, and is now languishing without any real distribution outside of it. I saw <a href="http://www.sffs.org/festival-home/attend/film-guide/trap-street#.VKyy0GTF_O8" target="_blank">"TRAP STREET"</a> at the 2014 San Francisco International film fest and won’t soon forget it. It’s a love story gone terribly awry, in which the protagonist Li Qiuming works with his fussy road crew partner doing map-making surveying all over the major Chinese city of Nanjing. On the side, Quiming helps to install hidden cameras in various places like bars and health spas – setting up one of the film’s most delicious (while obvious) ironies. He spots an attractive businesswoman, Guan Lifen, through the lens of his surveying equipment, and ratchets up his obsession with her in a hurry – following her to her workplace, staking her out when she leaves and ultimately tracking her down and wooing her to begin a tentative, if quite genuine-seeming romance.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: auto; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Her place of employment within a plain-looking building is impossible to get into, though Qiuming tries, up to and including throwing rocks at the windows. Strangely enough, the small street she works on doesn’t show up on the map crew’s GPS-assisted data. Early on we learn it’s a “trap street”, meaning it’s deliberately left off of maps for reasons best known to the Chinese authorities. “Trap streets” have a less nefarious reason for existing as well; they’re sometimes false streets that are deliberately entered onto maps by surveying companies and their publishers in order to “trap” any rival publishers who might try and sell copies of maps featuring it, while passing it off as their own surveying work. The film, obviously, inverts this meaning and makes it something far more sinister.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Just as we’re getting to really enjoy the cutesy amusement-park-and-zoo courtship of Quiming and Lifen, he’s suddenly abducted, beaten and placed into confinement within an urban village. Turns out his visits to the trap street to look for Lifen<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">weren’t exactly welcomed</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>by her mysterious place of employment, and it then stands to reason that her delayed gratification at his courtship of her isn’t particularly real, either. Did he do anything to merit his treatment? Not in the least – he’s an exceptionally sympathetic, if naïve, character – but the film turns ominous and foreboding, as the sense of injustice and the all-seeing eye of the state hangs heavy over the film. It ends ambiguously, as well – which makes it all the more delightfully creepy. At our showing, the filmmaker<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Vivian Qu</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>did a Q&A afterward, and was asked about getting approval for the film to play in her native country. While she tried to put her best face on it, it was clear she wasn’t holding her breath. An excellent gander at the modern Chinese ecosystem of money-making capitalism, 21st-century technology and 20th-century state dominance over personal and private affairs. </div>

These are stories that were suppressed by Soviet and post-Soviet authorities in their time, presumably for being too "real", as they contain zero explicit anti-government samizdat. I loved the other Petrushevskaya collection I read last year, <a href="http://www.hedonist-jive.com/2013/05/book-review-there-once-lived-girl-who.html" target="_blank">"There Once Lived A Girl Who Seduced Her Sister's Husband, And He Hanged Himself"</a>, and this one's nearly in that league, albeit in overall abbreviated form, making for an exceptionally quick read. It's really just one <i>long</i> short story called "The Time Is Night", along with two short stories - each a haunting overview of a middle-aged Russian woman in a degraded and pitiful state. I certainly mean pitiful as in "have pity", which you will need to find plenty of in exploring the harrowing inner lives of women struggling with familial, state and communal oppression. Yet Petrushevskaya's also a wonderful black humorist, and she limns her litanies of domestic horrors with absurdities that, if they don't make one laugh out loud, at least lessen the crushing existential burden somewhat.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The Time Is Night" is truly the centerpiece of this one, and is by far the best of the three stories. A 50-year-old would-be poet, Anna, recounts in "writings that were left behind" how she tried to keep life from unraveling while trying to care for her grandchild, whom her daughter Alena had abandoned at her doorstep while being herself abandoned by two husbands. Her son also comes and goes into her life after getting out of prison, all the while pursued by thugs who are looking to administer some serious post-lockup beatdowns for god knows what. Anna moves from soaring, poetic calls to her higher nature to the day-to-day mundane and drab realities of Russian life, with a dying mother, a bare refrigerator and not a whole lot of money. She's an invisible woman - a common complaint of the middle-aged in <i>any</i> society - but even more acute in a society teeming with alcoholic, misogynist men and chronically unemployed children who hate you. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Petrushevskaya gets her digs into societal absurdities where she can, such as when Anna picks up some journalistic work for an acquaintance: <i>"I urgently covered her back when she needed a piece on the bicentennial of the Minsk Tractor Plant"</i> (a plant, which, suffice to say, had not been in existence for 200 years). Anna, who barely has anything to cling to in life, suffers a series of emotional indignities that culminate with the removal of even the last bits of joy in her fragile life. There's a lot of societal guilt-by-association implied by these tales. It's clear that </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Petrushevskaya was <i>chafing</i> in a big way, and still is, even after the glorious transition from Communism to Putinism.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other two stories are good, but are slightly lesser works. The best of the two is "Among Friends", which details the incestuous inner workings of an adopted "family" of sorts, a collection of codependent adults who get together once a week to drink and talk. These apartment gatherings were as close to "civil society" as individuals within the Soviet Union ever came, but when our narrator finds circumstances spinning out of control and that threaten to ruin the life of her son, she engages in an absurd bit of violent self-sacrifice that, through this catalog of emotional horrors, </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Petrushevskaya almost makes sound banal, normal and wise. I'll never be a lonely and overburdened middle-aged Russian woman, but I think I've got a pretty decent sense of what it might be like to be one via this author's unsettling and highly textured writing. </span></span>Jay H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06153081608332918241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280759154033152778.post-10746139003370099822015-01-01T22:03:00.001-08:002015-01-21T21:51:52.339-08:00DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO #52<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's hard to find much fault with Saint Kim, a renaissance woman who's been a constant in my underground music and culture-obsessed life for over thirty years during her time with Sonic Youth, multiple side bands and a wide variety of fashion, art, filmmaking and other endeavors. Everyone loves Kim, right? But hey, can she sling together a group of sentences in an edifying and entertaining manner? I wasn't actually sure, so I bought <a href="http://www.sternberg-press.com/?pageId=1478" target="_blank">this German-pressed collection</a> of some of her writings from the 1980s up to just a year or two ago in hopes of finding out. She's got an autobiography due out soon as well, so I reckoned I'd get a jump on that by poring through the tour diaries, art theorizing, semiotics and cultural criticisms that are speckled throughout this small volume.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let it be said that while Ms. Gordon loses no overall cultural luster from this collection of her writings, I wouldn't recommend that you actually spend any more than a few minutes browsing it in a bookstore. Actually <i>reading</i> it? It's not easy, let me tell ya. See, Kim Gordon comes from the art world. She often, but not always, <i>writes</i> like people from the art world - insular, impenetrable, overblown and for fellow travelers only. She doesn't come off as pompous, not really; she merely confirms what a blowhard world that of high art and even mid-brow art is. So you might see it as guilt by association; I instead choose to see her mimicry of the art/academic written aesthetic something that just comes with the territory when you're jawboning to a closed circle. Heaven forbid that someone try and penetrate the purple prose of the elite. Why even bother talking down to those who'd deign to try?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That said, I liked her piece on Raymond Pettibon, as well as a 1985 Artforum piece in which she works over Southern California hardcore punk like a real pro. There's a late 80s Sonic Youth tour diary as well, and then a series of pieces and interviews that over-intellectualizes that which should be relatively straightforward: Glenn Branca, Harry Crews and Mike Kelley, for instance. I assure you, I'm no philistine, but I'm easily fed up with the needlessly pompous and/or "transgressive", and this book gets me no closer to resolving my antipathy to that world. Here's hoping her next book's more in keeping with the as-yet-untoppled mental alter I've built for her.</span></span>Jay H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06153081608332918241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280759154033152778.post-35293099883664139692014-12-17T22:09:00.003-08:002015-01-01T22:01:57.929-08:00DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO #51<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My 51st show and my fact-checking is still riddled with errors, my show's full of modulation mix-ups and my on-mic "persona" is about as pleasing to the ear as a friggin' sack of cats. At least the music totally <i>smokes</i>. Notwithstanding my error on <b>Brian Eno</b>'s first album - it's called "Here Come The Warm Jets", <i>no der!</i> - and the fact that some songs are mixed too low and some voices too high (that's why Thomas Edison invented the volume knob for you), I'm excited to share with you some of the finest in raw, sub-underground rock and roll music from the past five decades.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's new archival stuff from <b>The Klitz</b> <i>(turn it up)</i> and <b>The Bangs</b> <i>nee</i> The Bangles; there's new 2014 songs from <b>Pampers, White Fence, Men Oh Pause, Coneheads, Germ House</b> and <b>Parkay Quarts</b>; and a bunch of library stuff from many corners of our world: <b>The Birthday Party, Bill Direen & The Bilders, Razar, The Coolies, Long Blondes, Modern Lovers</b> and so on and so forth. Take a look at the playlist and I think you'll wanna give it a go.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Producer, svengali and Los Angeles rocknroll gadfly <a href="http://www.kimfowley.net/" target="_blank">Kim Fowley</a> is such a deranged and purportedly "colorful" cult figure that I heeded the promotional buzz around his autobiography and succumbed to purchase. Fowley, did in fact, steal the show in the 2003 Rodney Bigenheimer documentary <a href="http://agonyshorthand.blogspot.com/2004/09/mayor-of-sunset-strip-dvd.html" target="_blank">"The Mayor of the Sunset Strip"</a> through "look at ME" force of personality, and his own solo albums and general unhinged persona long made me think he'd probably be a ripe target for documentation, even if most of his own music and productions don't do a blamed thing for me. He's on his deathbed at this writing now, poor fella, dealing with bladder cancer and slipping in and out of terminal diagnoses. The plan is that this book, <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17162890-lord-of-garbage" target="_blank">"LORD OF GARBAGE"</a>, is only the first of three autobiographical volumes, if he can just stave off the reaper and finish them all in time. I wish him luck, but I won't be reading the next two.<br /><b><br />"LORD OF GARBAGE"</b> fouls up a sure thing right off the bat, and I really should have seen it coming. Turns out Fowley's blustering, posturing, overblown personality is exactly what gets thrown down on the page as well. Rather than a collection of war stories, one has to not only get knee-deep in excruciatingly poor sentence construction but in out-and-out fabrications as well. These render everything in the book highly suspect. Fowley's creative imagination knows few limits. He claims to remember his birth; he attributes sober, wildly precocious decision-making and verbal skills to himself during his diaper years; and puts a surreal conversational gloss on his entire tragic childhood that's so patently and obviously untrue that I had a difficult time keeping myself from getting angry. I imagine that the cracked, blowhard persona that makes me laugh when I see it on film would probably make me want to flee the room if I ever found myself in actual <i>mano-a-mano </i>with the guy – such is the hostility that his phony and unfunny story engendered in me. <br /><br />The ham-handed goofball poetry that intersperses each story on every third or fourth page doesn't do him any favors, either. Funny that <a href="http://www.kicksbooks.com/" target="_blank">Kicks Books</a>, his publisher, didn't deign to mention <i>that</i> part in their glory-filled promotional blurbs on the book. I haven't been so let down by an anticipated book since the release of the <a href="http://allpsych.com/disorders/dsm/" target="_blank">DSM-IV</a>.</span>Jay H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06153081608332918241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280759154033152778.post-81500801982453651602014-12-03T09:56:00.001-08:002014-12-03T09:56:50.958-08:00DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO #50<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The purported theme of our podcast, magazine and blog is "raw and sub-underground rocknroll from the last five decades". This new edition of <a href="http://www.divshare.com/direct/26511056-23e.mp3" target="_blank">DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO, #50</a>, goes heavy on the first and most recent of those decades. Two blazing new tracks from the just-released 60s punk comp "Back From The Grave, Volume 9" make their 21st century online debuts here - and if that's not reason enough to download or stream this thing, there's new material from the likes of <b>Parkay Quarts, The Coneheads, Le Skeleton, Germ House, Leggy, Honey Radar, Rakta, Sauna Youth, Bent, The Blind Shake</b> <i>and</i> <b>Pampers</b>. <i>Pampers!</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's a blown-out bootleg recording from the <b>Velvet Underground</b>, a little punk rock tomfoolery and all sorts of needless verbal blather from the host. In all, it's 74 minutes you won't ever get back - unless you play it a second time.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When I <a href="http://www.hedonist-jive.com/2014/08/book-review-my-struggle-book-one-by.html" target="_blank">last left off </a>with the roundly and deservedly celebrated Mr. Knausgaard as he documented his existential struggles with himself, his life and with the world around him, I was picking my jaw up off the floor. I was also attempting to grapple with why the 600-page memoir/autobiography/exegesis I'd just finished – the first of six such 600-page books in a series – was so phenomenally thrilling to read. <a href="http://www.hedonist-jive.com/2014/08/book-review-my-struggle-book-one-by.html" target="_blank">You can read my review of that one here</a>. Not much time was squandered before I leapt into Book Two. While I'll admit to a nearly imperceptible (and somewhat unexplainable) drop-off in my engagement with this one <i>(I went from rabid and frothing page addiction to merely rabid page addiction)</i>, I'll also recommend <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/23/books/review/book-2-of-my-struggle-by-karl-ove-knausgaard.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0" target="_blank">"My Struggle, Book Two"</a> unequivocally and with much gusto. Knausgaard is actually redefining literary form and function in the course of the "My Stuggle" ("Min Kamp" in his native Norwegian) series, and while I really haven't read <i>everything</i> yet, I've certainly never read anything like this before.<br /><br />If the first book was his plunge into a life defined, in no small measure, by his overbearing father, and that father's death, <b>"My Struggle, Book Two" </b>attempts to pick apart in detail things that are much closer to the here and now. Chief among these are what it's like to be a father of three in an egalitarian, liberal Scandinavian country (Sweden) in which the individual ego is sublimated and the collective good is celebrated in ways both good and ugly. Knausgaard is <i>not</i> one for having his individuality sublimated, let me tell ya. He's very honest - painfully honest at times - about how important his personal "freedom" is, and he defines that freedom as his love of being alone and able to do nothing but write, or read, or shop for and hoard many dozens of books. This sense of self, as you might imagine, rubs up against his reality as a parent, partner and professional author quite often. While he's got some very close and highly intelligent friends with whom he treasures his time, such as fellow Norwegian-in-Stockholm Geir, Knausgaard finds the mechanisms of daily family life both dreary and depressing while they also fill him with deep, emotional love – especially for his vulnerable children. He grapples with guilt, pride and shame throughout the book.<br /><br />His relationship with his second wife, Linda – the mother of Vanya, Heidi and John, their children – is as complex, emotionally difficult and emotionally rewarding as any marriage can be. Theirs in particular seems to have been forged with a mutual understanding of each other's deficiencies. Knaussgard relates a horrible tale of cutting up his face at a writer's retreat when he was a young man because he thought he'd been rejected by Linda, whom he'd fallen head over heels for. Linda, before they reconnected years later and started dating, tried to kill herself. These are people who <i>feel</i>, and it seems as though there's a reinforcement mechanism in place that ensures that neither of them disappears too far down the mental rabbit hole. Having children – which was clearly Linda's raison d'être and Karl Ove's ambivalent concession – has helped to cement their bond while also preventing them from deepening it due to the daily grind of child-rearing. <br /><br />There's an especially funny scene in which Knausgaard takes his toddler daughter to an emasculating "baby sing-along" class. He's profoundly shameful at his stereotypical "stay-at-home dad" status, and mentally lashes out at the other dumpy dads who arrive at the class, makes fun of their clothes and (lack of) hair, lusts after the beautiful 20-something Swede who leads the class, then tries to rationalize and explain his many feelings to himself and the reader. Knausgaard is either working this stuff out in real time on the page, or writes so well that it only seems like he is. <br /><br />Some readers may find some of his esoteric intellectual diversions – which interrupt the narrative frequently yet always elegantly – jarring and impenetrable. Certainly I haven't heard of any of the Scandinavian writers whom he dissects from time to time, but this is his world, not mine. Knausgaard will jump off into several pages of exploration of Dante or Dostoyevsky before returning to diapers; he'll also meditate for pages on nature and its awesomeness. Norway and Sweden, where I've spent considerable time, will do that to a person. He also has much to say about family, a big theme in Book One. In this edition he discovers that his (much loved and admired) mother-in-law is furtively drinking alcohol while taking care of their young daughter, and has to confront her on it; he also struggles with managing his wife's relationship with his own mother as well as where an introverted, admittedly self-centered man such as himself places family obligations in relation to personal desires.<br /><br />Lots to chew on, as before. Knausgaard has done something remarkable in drawing so many readers into his insular, multi-book world, and of course it'll only be a matter of weeks before I start in on "My Struggle, Book Three". There are three more to follow that one, not translated into English yet. <i>Heldigvis, jeg snakker litt norsk.</i></span>Jay H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06153081608332918241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280759154033152778.post-41664076500764482882014-11-26T15:50:00.004-08:002014-11-26T15:50:36.806-08:00WE HAVE A NEW MAGAZINE AVAILABLE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Hedonist Jive used to be my "main" blog. All the quote-unquote <i>good</i> stuff was published here. The problem with a generalist blog is there really aren't a lot of generalists out there any longer who'll read it. We culture hounds love our micro-focused niches; I know this because I organize everything digitally according to topic: I've got my music stuff, my film stuff, my literary stuff, my sports stuff and so on.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So if you're here, you've probably noticed that The Hedonist Jive's mainly been a dumping ground my music podcast, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dynamite-hemorrhage-radio/id703647207?mt=2" target="_blank">Dynamite Hemorrhage radio</a>. Sorry about that. Can't believe you've hung on this long and kept this thing in your RSS feed. Well, the whole <a href="http://dynamitehemorrhage.com/" target="_blank">Dynamite Hemorrhage</a> project's been my main focus the past couple years. It's just culminated - for now, in an 84-page print music fanzine called Dynamite Hemorrhage #2. <a href="http://dynamitehemorrhage.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">You can order it here</a>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that I'm done with the magazine, I reckon the 'Jive might heat up a little bit more, beyond the dumped podcasts. Book reviews are <i>crackling</i> and <i>seething</i> within me, for starters. Maybe some other stuff too. Stick around, and it might get somewhat interesting around here again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meantime, here's what's in our new magazine: </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We took an unforgivable three weeks to get this podcast, our forty-eighth, to the people - but we were sorta busy. There was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/29/giants-world-series-2014-game-7_n_6072354.html" target="_blank">this</a>, and then there was <a href="http://dynamitehemorrhage.com/post/102026713211/pages-from-dynamite-hemorrhage-2-an-84-page" target="_blank">this</a>. And here's <i>this</i> - a 1 hour, 3 minute edition of <a href="http://www.divshare.com/direct/26410664-24c.mp3" target="_blank">DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO (#48)</a>, which goes from frantic to <i>frantic-er</i> over its 63 minutes and which might be the most edifying phony radio show since <a href="http://dynamitehemorrhage.com/post/100662757551/heres-yet-another-hour-long-curated-mess-a" target="_blank">our last one</a> - or at least since <a href="http://www.expresswaytoyrskull.com/2014/10/playlist-102614.html" target="_blank">this one</a> by our magazine's esteemed contributing editor.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you choose to proceed, you'll be hearing new stuff from <b>Midnight Snaxxx, Primetime, Sauna Youth, Buck Biloxi and the Fucks, Coneheads, Shitkickers, CCTV</b>, <b>Ultimate Painting</b> and <b>Russell Street Bombings</b>. These modern heroes will be interspersed with Grade-A material from winners from the past - like <b>Liliput</b> <i>(pictured)</i>; <b>Rema-Rema, England's Glory, Die Kreuzen, The Minutemen</b> and even <b>Clothilde</b> <i>(she follows a set of hardcore and closes out the show in fine style).</i> You know what? I think you might like it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's yet another hour-long curated mess, a collection of developmentally delayed rock and roll - and some very evolved pop - from the most recent five decades of recorded sound. I tip my proverbial cap this time to the wacko spazz-punk of <b>THE CONEHEADS</b>, to say nothing of new stuff from <b>NOTS, USELESS EATERS, SCRABBLED</b> and those three new bands that get played <i>every</i> show: <b>HONEY RADAR, SNEAKS</b> and <b>KING TEARS MORTUARY</b>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But wait - that's not all. There's teutonic punk from the likes of <b>Stalinorgel</b> and <b>Schund</b>; an incredible unearthing by <b>Rema-Rema</b>; and more clatter and clang from <b>The Minutemen, Crash Course in Science, John Berenzy's 20/20, Goblin Mix, The Eat</b> and more. I "hope you love it as much as I did making it for you".</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Australians. They're <i>all over</i> <a href="http://www.divshare.com/direct/26248622-b1b.mp3" target="_blank">Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio #46</a>. The exiled convicts of yore have sprouted creative progeny several links down the generational chain, and now a week doesn't go by when some Australian band doesn't arrive in our inbox - and therefore onto this show. So DH #46 is represented well this time by Australians through the years - from the brand-new (<b>Scrabbled, King Tears Mortuary, Clag, Straight Arrows, Southern Comfort </b>and <b>Eastlink</b>) to those from nearly fifty years ago (<b>Pip Proud</b>, pictured here). We even tossed in some Americans, Brits and New Zealanders from the ages as well.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The show's a little over an hour and features other new stuff from <b>Buck Biloxi and The Fucks, Sneaks, Honey Radar, Dark Times</b> and even <b>Allo Darlin' </b>- whose singer, get this, is Australian! <i>Good on ya, AU!</i> Download or stream it below and feel free to grab some of the older shows as well.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can't pick a more inauspicious time to post a new show than smack in the middle of Labor Day weekend, but we at Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio don't operate according to <i>your rules</i>. We had bands we needed to play for you, we had a free Saturday night, we bailed on something like five quality live music shows happening in the San Francisco Bay Area this evening and instead we made ya this podcast. It's a little over an hour and it might blow your goddamn mind.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's start with brand new material from <b>HONEY RADAR, SNEAKS, OCTAGRAPE, SYNTHETIC ID, PY PY, TERRY MALTS</b> and <b>THE BILDERS</b>. We stack from there with reissued stuff from <b>CRIME</b>. We slide in library material from <b>VAIN AIMS, GARBAGE AND THE FLOWERS, COME, FLESH EATERS, DEAD CLODETTES, THE GERMS</b> and the awesome <b>KING TEARS MORTUARY</b> <i>(pictured here)</i> - among others. Like the other 43 hours of podcasts before it, it all comes with my personal guarantee of quality - the music, not the blatherings of the inane host. That's what the slider on your iPhone is for. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My personal temperament toward music, both live and recorded, was so hotly maniacal and all-consuming in the 1980s that naturally, my memories, connections and tendency toward nostalgia are rooted in the years 1981-89 more than anywhere else. Mudhoney were central to my sickness at the highest point in its bell curve. Having already been a Green River aficionado while they were around, when that first Mudhoney 45 came out, me and several of my pals were so blown away by their dramatic supercharging of the “long-haired punk” formula, with its the new emphasis on distortion and wide-grooved volume, that we instantly hatched a plan to see the band 4 times in a row in late ’88 (as their “Superfuzz Bigmuff” EP was just coming out), from San Jose to Los Angeles to San Francisco and Huntington Beach. In between, I sheepishly asked Mudhoney’s tour manager Bob Whittaker if the band would play my college radio show on KCSB in Santa Barbara on their lone day off, promising beer, a good time and a place to stay. Offer accepted, it set up a nice acquaintanceship w/ each of the band members & a friendship w/ Whittaker that continues to this day, and prodded me - as if I needed prodding - to see several dozen Mudhoney shows throughout their 25+ years of existence.<br /><br />Has my intense rabidity for the band’s music, forged at age 20, waned a bit since 1988? Of course it has. I can look at Mudhoney critically and place them very much as a vital and still-awesome cog in their scene, which extended well outside of Seattle and encompassed other late 80s champs like Pussy Galore, Laughing Hyenas, Lazy Cowgirls, Sonic Youth, Dwarves, feedtime, Scratch Acid and so on. Their records rocked, their live show was better, and there really isn’t a single record they’ve put out since those early years where I haven’t really gravitated to 2 or 3 intense and raw tunes, especially in the 2000s starting with “Since We’ve Become Translucent”. So my approach to reading Keith Cameron’s well-composed biography was to marinate deeply in the nostalgia more than anything else, and yet when I exited the book, it was with a deeper appreciation for the individuals in the band, and the choices they made, than I’d even had before.<br /><br />More to so than even their songs or stage presence, it’s Mudhoney’s complete and utter disregard for the trappings of fame and the sick machinations of the music industry that was so compelling. These are 5 people (counting later-period bassist Guy Maddison) who’ve always been eminently approachable, friendly and just as wildly excited about obscure 45s and bands as you/I am. Cameron does a terrific job capturing and coming back to that, as he relays tales (all with the full participation of and many interviews with the band members) of early obscurity, the pendulum-shift bedlam of the 1988/89/90 explosion of the “Seattle scene”, drug use, sobriety, major label weirdness, Sub Pop financial shenanigans and some extreme record collecting as well.<br /><br />If you read Mark Yarm’s book about “grunge” (<a href="http://www.hedonist-jive.com/2011/12/book-review-everybody-loves-our-town.html" target="_blank">“Everybody Loves Our Town”</a>) you’ve already seen chunks of this, but this one’s fully centered on the only arguably great band to come from all of that nonsense. It’s rare to find a group of musicians in any genre who’ve stuck together as long as they have with their reputations as individuals and musicians fully intact – and it almost never happens in rocknroll, certainly not on the shoestring independent level that Mudhoney’s pretty much operated on for more than three-quarters of their career. More so than even the indie documentary that was made about them recently (<a href="http://www.mudhoneymovie.com/#!news/mainPage" target="_blank">“I’m Now: The Story of Mudhoney”</a>, which, uh, <a href="http://dynamitehemorrhage.com/post/34857473837/i-watched-the-mudhoney-im-now-documentary-last" target="_blank">yours truly</a> has two brief speaking parts in), this book is the right sort of exploratory & explanatory angle to expound upon how these people as individuals engineered their lives to keep playing the music they wanted, and keep their collective and personal integrity very much intact.</span></span>Jay H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06153081608332918241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280759154033152778.post-11406733005562946572014-08-15T13:22:00.000-07:002014-08-30T22:09:38.882-07:00DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO #43<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This US micro-indie from 2011 helped launch the career of indie dreamgirl, screenwriter and producer <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1779870/" target="_blank">Brit Marling</a>. I keep seeing that she gets typecast in some pretty weird sci-roles roles as a cult leader or astro dreamer, and that's great; she's got decent acting chops and plays "oddball" quite well, in spite of her off-the-charts looks. Yet <a href="http://www.foxsearchlight.com/anotherearth/" target="_blank">"Another Earth" </a>trips up just as often as it succeeds. It's about a young woman on the verge of starting her first year at MIT (Marling's "Rhoda") who gets drunk and plows into a family of three while she's intently observing the newly-discoved phenomena of a "second Earth" – outside her car window, while driving. We then flash-forward four years later, as she's getting out of prison, and Earth 1 is still no closer to having made contact with "Earth 2", despite the latter (and its moon) now looming over our earth like Lars Von Trier's collision-course planets in <a href="http://www.hedonist-jive.com/2011/11/melancholia.html" target="_blank">"Melancholia"</a>. <br /><br />There are some fantastic sci-fi elements to this one, and enough eerie close-ups and disjointed speechifying from off-camera scientists about the nature of Earth 2 (over droning synth music, no less) that really hints at how mind-blowing this could have been – and actually is, in parts. Yet there are so many cinematic cliches in this one that I found myself straining to finish the film. What happens when the going gets rough with her new boyfriend, who happens to be the surviving father in the family of three she hit four years ago? Of course, she dramatically pukes in the toilet, just like everyone does in movies for some reason. Oops – she's not supposed to be poking around his house, but there's his son's picture, right where she could guiltily come across it, and yep, he just <i>happens</i> to be standing nearby right when she finds it. Whew, that was a close one. That never happens in film! Oh, and sex is so wildly passionate and hot sometimes that you just want to get down to it on a coffee table with your shirt on, while the dude keeps all of his clothes on while wildly humping you in a hot frenzy, after a big 15 seconds of delicious foreplay. Man, I can't even count the times. <br /><br />Perhaps you'll distract yourself something batty trying to remember where you've seen the male lead, <b>William Mapother </b>before. He was Ethan from "Lost"! Remember that guy? I guess I do – but his face, if not his acting ability, is instantly memorable. Of course in his grieving, slovenly, late 40s, alcoholic state he'd have no problem seducing the most beautiful 21-year-old on the planet. So yeah - "Another Earth" has some holes as big as the craters on Jupiter's moon, and yet has enough redeeming qualities to not be a total washout. I just regret not seeing the film this might have otherwise been without the ham-handed swipes from the last forty years of mainstream flicks. </span></span>Jay H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06153081608332918241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280759154033152778.post-51963894595695798202014-08-11T10:01:00.003-07:002014-08-11T10:01:59.316-07:00BOOK REVIEW: "MY STRUGGLE, BOOK ONE" by Karl Ove Knausgaard<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An absolutely exhilarating ride through one man’s memoirs that breaks as many conventions as it makes up on the spot. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/22/books/karl-ove-knausgaards-my-struggle-is-a-movement.html" target="_blank">Karl Ove Knausgaard</a>, you may have heard, is Norway’s literary <i>cause célèbre</i> – though, having myself lived in Norway for 15 weeks this most recent summer, the reports of him being omnipresent and discussed ad nauseum there are fully overblown. Most people don’t read good books, remember? That said, his <b>“Min Kamp”</b> - <i>yes</i>, that means “My Struggle,”, and <i>yes</i>, he’s well aware how the title helped drive much of the book’s initial hoopla - series of six volumes of personal memoirs had sold extremely well there. As of this writing, the first three volumes are available in English and are getting raves everywhere, including from me. This book is straight-up my favorite thing I’ve read in two years, easily.<br /><br />Let’s marvel at it all a bit before digging in. Knausgaard wasn’t, before these book, famous in any way; his experiences in<a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780374534141" target="_blank"> “My Struggle, Book One”</a> aren’t particularly unique nor exceptional; and the guy’s even younger than I am by a couple of years, having been born in the very late sixties. Yet his prose is absolutely pulse-quickening no matter how prosaic the subject matter. Knausgaard brings details of his childhood and current life as a parent of three children into being by hypnotically weaving in everything from his life’s most minute details to grand theories of death, art and existence. Death, in fact, is the key theme of the book – mainly our hypocrisies in how we describe it, sanctify it and shrink from it. The second half of the book is almost entirely about his own father’s death by alcoholism, and how Knausgaard and his brother Yngve worked to bring some closure and order to the house in which he violently died. Detours are taken throughout, without warning, sometimes returning to a theme being explored, sometimes not. One goes deep into an unrequited teenage love affair, another into early life as a cultural aesthete, trying to be cool and yet a stolid “writer” in the Norwegian city of Bergen, and still another into his utter terror of his father’s judgment and reproach while growing up.<br /><br />His somewhat masochistic relationship with his brother, whom he adores, is especially poignant, and arguably the best part of a nearly perfect book. Visiting Yngve at his university in Bergen while Karl Ove was still in high school is utterly life-changing, and the distance between his idealized self there vs. the reality of his humdrum life back in Kristiansand is mammoth – which helps set him, clumsily, onto the literary path he ultimately followed. Taking place in the 80s as much of this does, Knausgaard is even a bit of new waver, and self-consciously styles himself after Ian McCullough from Echo and the Bunnyman. Once in Bergen, he writes for various music and literary magazines, and interviews bands like Wall of Voodoo and Tuxedomoon. One story of interviewing Norwegian poet Olav Hauge is hilariously tense; a tale of three college kids trying to wrest information from a cantankerous literary lion that <i>somehow</i> comes out all right in the end.<br /><br />There are several things working for Knausgaard in Book One that make his stories so wildly compelling. First, their universality. He describes teenage years in ways so familiar, I frequently wished I’d been taking notes on all the things I’ve been slowly forgetting over the years, in hopes of trying to wrestle the same action-packed punch from the seemingly mundane. Second, his own character. This is a man who fails, tries to learn from it, fails again, and yet he does not suffer from false modesty on many fronts – nor is his book a litany of problems. Quite the opposite. He loves his children, but in a riveting section of this book enumerates his own shortcomings and the nerve-rattling impatience his own brood bestows upon him. He mostly does the right thing by his wife and his family, but lays out some of his frustrations for having done so out on the page. His father drank himself to death, and he’s horrified by its circumstances – but also hints of his own issues with alcohol, which one assumes will be a subject in later volumes. One gets the sense of an ethical, introverted, exceptionally smart everyman who happens to have immersed himself in culture and ideas without at all being a pompous prick nor a navel-gazing mess. The moment I finished “My Struggle, Book One” I put it down and headed to the laptop to order “Book Two”, which I plan to devour as soon as it arrives. I shall report on it in this very space, presently.</span></span>Jay H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06153081608332918241noreply@blogger.com
