When activated, the LHC will be used to examine a hole in what is known as the Standard Model of particle physics—a theoretical framework that is used to draw links between the four “fundamental forces?? of the universe and the 12 elementary particles on which those forces...
...laugh at the unnamed writing program director who said Tom Jehn wasn’t “an intellectual force in the field.” As someone who taught Expos for eight years, I can attest that there are no “intellectual forces?? in the field, which I wouldn’t say is even a “field.” Yes, there is something called “composition studies” (sometimes “composition theory”), there is at least one professional society, and there are peer...
...abandoning the language of acoustic guitar in favor of churning, feedback-heavy noise-passages. Fahey’s relentless creative antagonism made him a figure of inspiration for artists like Sun City Girls and Six Organs of Admittance.But these two seemingly divergent forces??Kottke the acoustic virtuoso, Fahey the ambient experimenter—came together with Peter Lang to record an eponymous 1974 LP. Because of Takoma’s relatively limited financial clout and semi-dormant status in the wake of Fahey’s death, this album remains nearly impossible to find, but what thin documentation...
...stilted biography of John Adolphus Etzler, the titular “Mad Inventor” (who you’ve never heard of because he never invented anything that actually worked). Etzler’s life and energies were spent striving to harness the earth’s natural forces??wind, current, sun, rotation—believing that if he did so he’d be able to create enough wealth to sustain more than a trillion people. Infinite wealth could be generated, he thought, by concentrating infinite power on the infinite resources of the earth. Unsurprisingly...
...film falls off. Even more so than any other in the Apatow line, “Sarah Marshall” struggles to come to a close. Or perhaps more accurately, it can’t seem to figure out how to reconcile the film’s major oppositional forces??men and women—to each other. As in the past, genders are treated as camps—us vs. them—with the “us” always being “us guys.” And as at a middle school...
