Adventures Behind The Great Firewall, Part 2
Wikipedia’s entry on “Lars-Erik Sjoberg” appears to be blocked by the Great Firewall of China. Peculiar. Why does the CPC not want its citizens to know about a Swedish defenceman from the 1970s???

Lessons for Mongolia's Copper and Coal and Gold...
”We were the end products of the system, the logical outcome, slabs of burnt-out capital. We were also men with families and homes, whatever our present situation. We had beliefs, commitments. It went beyond systems, I thought. They were asserting that nothing mattered, that distinctions were dead. Let the markets crash and die. Let the banks, the brokerage firms, the groups, the funds, the...

This might potentially be useful for people, and it’s a handy sketch of Bolaño’s ouevre, but the author’s description of 2666 paints him as a complete philistine, as far as I’m concerned: “The book is a desert of negative space across which the panting reader will search in vain for the traditional pleasures of the novel: form, character, coherence, meaning.” Seriously, is he...

Music Wrap Up 2011
2011 has been an interesting year in a lot of ways. Musically, I’ve found myself retreating generically to comfort zones (such as most of the Odd Future stuff), not expanding outwards, and showing much more cynicism to “new” movements (chillwave, for instance). It’s also been the first year where I’ve had non-precarious (basically), day in and day out, 8:30 to...

“ Shawn Horcoff is doing a fantastic job in his defensive role. Not only is he taking more dzone faceoffs than any other forward in the league but he’s also excelling. Horcoff has had a rough last ten or twenty games but even still, his season has been terrific. It won’t show up in the boxcar statistics but Shawn Horcoff may well be the most valuable forward on the Edmonton...

ESPN is reporting that according to a source Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows has agreed to an $8-million, four-year contract extension with the Vancouver Canucks.
