“The most shocking result of having researched the causes of the financial crisis for the last year and a half is this discovery: economists have no compunctions about answering empirical questions, such as what caused the specific crisis of 2008, with general theoretical models, whether macro- or micro- in nature, that may or may not have any applicability to the actual historical event at hand. The possibility that a good model may not be applicable in a specific circumstance never seems to cross their minds.”

Some things seem so odd, so completely insolite, that in coming across them one can only assume that they are completely without historical precedent, that they exist outside of all tradition.

Stone-cutters made them from stones
Chosen specially for you and I
Who will live inside
The mountaineers gathered timber piled high
In which to take along
Travelling many miles knowing they’d get here

When they got here all exhausted
On the roof leaks they got started
And now when the rain comes we can be thankful

When the mountaineers saw that everything fit
They were glad and so they took off

Thought we were due for a change
Or two around this place
When they got back they’re all mixed up
With no one to stay with

The village used to be all one really needs
Now it’s filled with hundreds and hundreds of chemicals
That mostly surround you, you wish to flee
But it’s not like you so listen to me listen to me

Oh and when the morning comes
We will step outside
We will not find another man in sight
We like the newness the newness of all
That has grown in our garden
Struggling for so long

Whenever I was a child
I wonder what if my name had changed
Into something more productive
Like Roscoe been born in 1891
Waiting with my aunt Roslein

Thought we were due for a change
Or two around this place
When they got back they’re all mixed up
With no one to stay with

1891 they roamed around and foraged
They made their house from cedars
They made their house from stone
Well they’re a little like you
Adn they’re a little like me
We have all we need

Thought we were due for a change
Or two around this place
This place
This place

When they got back they’re all mixed up
With no one to stay with
When they got back they’re all mixed up
With no one to stay with

“Phony-holed jeans. For years the hollow claims of every marketing guru who insists that consumers “demand authenticity” has been neatly debunked by the success of the high-end “distressed” denim phenomenon. Buying jeans whose wear-and-tear is implemented by far-flung factory workers and machinery, according to specific standards devised and overseen by layers of corporate design-management — and in fact paying extra for such jeans, and pretending that this somehow signals rebel style — is a capitulation to simulacra-culture so Xtreme it would make Debord giggle and Baudrillard weep. Or vice versa. Whatevs.”
