typewriters of the future
The Austin Chronicle people are letting me write for them now. Weeklies! Weeklies!
And I've decided to write a paper for next year's EMP Pop Con (or a Ph.D program if one comes up) out of the idea I had for a book. Its going to be called 'Brown Noise' (pace, Tricia Rose) and its going to have to do with Ivy League rock bands---no, wait. Thats not it. It has to do with questioning identity in Latin-Amerikkkan pop/avant-garde/electronic music--from Ricardo Villalobos, Ely Guerra and Prefuse 73 (even the Spanish roots count) to dalek and Cafe Tacuba. Prog-ethnicity. Postanalog thesis. Drum machines.
(more on this as it develops)
