Guitar-based bands inspired by English groups like the Rolling Stones, Kinks, Beatles, and Yardbirds were recording singles on small independent Michigan labels such as A-Square, Lucky Eleven, Dicto, Hideout, and Fenton. hese Michigan rock and roll bands played a circuit of teen dance clubs including the Hideouts in both Harper Woods and in Southfield, Daniel’s Den and the Y-A Go Go in Saginaw, the Rivera Terrace and Mt.

Adorno and Max Horkheimer’s 1944 essay “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception” for a contemporary audience-championing the power of new media (such as memes, online gaming, and social media) as offering boundless opportunity for expression and advocating the utilization and abstraction of it through persistence production-Watson once again revisits the work of the Frankfurt School as an antidote for the sickness of modern times. In building upon his previous work, in which he sought to recuperate and reimagine Theodor W. Indeed, if with his 2019 book Can the Left Learn to Meme?: Adorno, Video Gaming, and Stranger Things Watson announced himself as a significant voice of the online left, then it is with his latest offering that he establishes his reputation as one of the most impressive analysts of our strange digital era. With a host of respected academics-including Matt McManus, Alfie Bown, and Conrad Hamilton-already endorsing Mike Watson’s The Memeing of Mark Fisher: How the Frankfurt School Foresaw Capitalist Realism and What To Do About It, there is little that has not been said to praise Watson’s latest work. “ Located within the framework of the Frankfurt School’s critical theory, The Memeing of Mark Fisher boldly riffs on everything from conspiracy theories and memes to economic policy and election campaigns…” So how does an unassuming old lady from a small sleepy village enter this triple murder? Well it turns out that unfortunate Gladys had learned the art of cleaning and serving while at Miss Marple’s home, and her death has affected Miss Marple deeply – especially the murderer’s cruel and contemptuous final touch with the clothespin. A few hours later, a maid named Gladys is found strangled in the yard, with the killer putting a clothespin on her nose. 1, but they’re dumbfounded when she too is found dead after drinking tea laced with cyanide. The police quickly latch on to Fortescue’s much younger wife as the suspect no. Bizarrely, the pockets of the dead man contain grains of rye, an outlandish detail that no one can satisfactorily explain. It’s quickly established however that his death had nothing to do with the tea, but deliberate poisoning while breakfasting in the company of his family earlier that morning. The novel begins at the office of an unscrupulous financial tycoon Rex Fortescue, who expires at the end of the chapter soon after drinking tea prepared by his glamorous blonde secretary. On the whole though, the book just wasn’t as satisfying as some of its parts. This Miss Marple novel has many Christie tropes that I usually find very entertaining, among them a bickering family where everyone has a motive to bump off the detestable patriarch in charge, and murders that follow a nursery rhyme. Originally published in 1995, To Have and to Hold is a book that has divided – and continues to divide – opinion because of the actions of its hero, Sebastian Verlaine, Viscount D’Aubrey. I chose this one because I’ve had it around for a while, but also because I know from reading reviews that it’s a “marmite” book (you either love it or you hate it!) and I felt like reading something that seemed like it would give me something to get my teeth into. This month’s prompt was “Kickin’ it Old School”, which meant reading a book that was at least ten years old. Scorned by the townspeople of Wyckerley as D’Aubrey’s mistress, tempted beyond her will by the devilish lord, Rachel risks all she had to claim a life of her own…and a love that will last for all time. For no one will offer her a second chance but a jaded viscount who needs a housekeeper. Rachel Wade has served time in prison for her husband’s violent death, but she soon discovers that freedom has its own price. Nor can the new Viscount D’Aubrey foresee that, when a fallen woman appears before him, he’ll find himself beguiled against all reason to alter her terrible fate…. Suave, cynical, and too handsome for his own good, Sebastian Verlaine never expects to become a magistrate judging the petty crimes of his tenants and neighbors. In Edwidge Danticat’s The Art of Death: Writing the Final Story (Graywolf, 2017), she describes the dreams she had while her mother was dying from cancer. The form is simultaneously constrained while also holding the keen of raw grief. Obit, as the name suggests, is written in the style of newspaper obituaries and includes obits to “civility,” “approval,” and “language.” It is a spare and stunning book. After his funeral, when his junk mail kept arriving at my house, when I saw his facial features forged in the sharp bones of my own, I turned to the book Chang wrote in the years after she lost her mother to pulmonary fibrosis and while her father’s dementia continued to progress. It was the only book that made sense to me. I READ VICTORIA CHANG’S poetry collection Obit (Copper Canyon, 2020) after the death of my father. In order for Robin to change her ways, she’ll need to reclaim who she was and open her heart again, to a past she thought she left behind. Robin will be forced to face not only who she’s become, but the parts of herself she left behind, when she was an art major in college and in love with fellow art student Jill Chen, in whom Robin found a kindred spirit-until Jill broke if off with her. Robin will receive three visitors in the two weeks before Christmas, who will escort her on visits to her past, present, and future On the verge of a major promotion, Robin receives a strange visit from Agent Elizabeth Tolson of the Bureau of Holiday Affairs, who informs Robin that, though Robin may be a lost cause, the Bureau has scheduled her for intervention. In the shark-infested culture at Frost Enterprises, anything goes, and Robin is a master at the game Executive Robin Preston has dedicated her life to climbing the corporate ladder, using whatever means necessary. It is relegated to a second class existence, destined to become barren or at best produce a marginal withered ear, essentially a weed, compared to those plants that emerged uniformly only a couple of days sooner. A corn plant that germinates and emerges only four to five days later than its neighboring plants will never catch-up. If the last one surprises you, then you might not be familiar with the concepts of competition and allelopathy among plants. How do you view the plant kindgdom? As benevolent caregivers of our planet by providing oxygen and food for nearly every other organism? As a source of beauty and wonder? As the original source of energy of all fossil fuels? Or as complex, sophisticated warriors who ruthlessly stake out and defend their claim to a patch of soil, water, nutrients and sunshine? Join 457 other subscribers Search for: Archives |
