VYS0045 | This Is Not The End Times; This Is A Rescue Mission - Vayse to Face with Bob Cluness

VYS0045 | This Is Not The End Times; This Is A Rescue Mission - Vayse to Face with Bob Cluness - Show Notes

Even more bewildered than usual, Hine and Buckley welcome writer, researcher, academic and DJ, Bob Cluness to Vayse. Bob's areas of interest include cultural studies, aesthetics, phenomenology, film studies, the weird and the eerie. Hine and Buckley nod along and try to keep up as Bob showers them in interconnecting concepts and fascinating insights with torrential force: What is hyperstition? Who were the CCRU? How does accelerationism work? Was Chaos Magick a revolutionary movement or an emanation of the emerging neoliberal capitalist system of the time? And exactly what is Nick Land's problem... (Recorded 29 July 2024)

Thanks to Bob for patiently explaining everything and thanks to Keith for the mammoth effort in show noting this one! He deserves a follow for that alone: @peakflow.bsky.social
