BASSLINES 1 in zweikommasieben magazin #10: poltergeists
comfortnoise proudly makes a contribution to zweikommasieben #10 with the column basslines: poltergeists, featuring simon reynolds’ retromania (faber & faber, 2011) and mark fisher’s ghosts of my life (zero books, 2014).
it is accompanied by an illustration that has been specifically created by the zürich based streetartist sierpinski ‘stvan’ triangle (see comfortnoise podcast 039-0413).
à discuter: bartmanski & woodwards “vinyl. the analogue record in the digital age”
although definitively not suitable for philistines, we recommend this book because it contains plenty of fine observations, illuminative insights & useful sociological concepts regarding the cultural value of vinyl records.
below we present quotes that we recognise as conclusions of the authors. (not that we necessarily agree -)

à discuter: simon reynolds “retromania: pop cultures addiction to its own past”
another book (besides mark fisher’s “ghosts of my life”) we recommend because of its stimulating and in the same time offending richness of disparate ideas on music and the development of music culture from the 60ties until now.
below, we present a couple of quotes that we recognise as reynolds’ conclusions. (not that we necessarily agree -)

à discuter: mark fisher “ghosts of my life: writings on depression, hauntology, lost futures, capitalism & the surface noise made by vinyl”
we recommend the following book (besides simon reynolds’ “retromania”) because it makes us reflecting on what we like and what we do, in a clever and at once provoking manner.
below, we present quotes/assumptions that we recognise as crucial for this book. (not that we necessarily agree -)
