And many other salvational speculations from Absentia.
30 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: Beefhamton Paradox
Listening to Django Reinhardt cookin' some burgers. What a day of contradiction, especially regarding the bovines.
30 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: The anti-Valentine's Day edition that inadvertently became The Valentine's Day edition

30 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: An errant Canadian Ponders the Partisan and the Old Revolution.
Another couchcast idea that came to me whilst urinating. The idea that Leonard Cohen's The Old Revolution is basically his imitation of a folk song he made his own 'The Partisan.'
Then his other folk song: Un Canadien Errant
Leonard Cohen himself translates Un Canadien Errant in his incredible piece of footage.

30 min - FLANEUR, a poem written and read by Alex Ternowetsky
FLANEUR
Fear nothing,
walk the night streeets eternal
dream the Gardens transcendental,
walk among them, think
GESTHEMANE.
(mind the gap)
All sorrows not included, counter-currents,
culture, walk the path,
the treetops sifting light like
MIRACLE, the song
of myself in my head like a line
from a song of thyself, like a sunbeam
waft thru brain current be:
the crazy person to the godless girl,
the snarl in the lip of the death-eyed dog,
the secret inside the man,
the man with the throat full of
secret, the secret condecension.
(mind the gap)
the CN Tower,
be the CN Tower?
Be the CN tower, perfect, omnipresent, be
the broken man if broken man
you need to be.
be the change you want to see in the girl,
barren as the beer glass, empty, now
of a sudden, soft.
The Flaneur,
buying weed from a girl named Charity
on Grace Street. Charity on Grace
Street, madman uttering Dante in the city
4 min - NOTEBOOK HUKAMNAMA #3: From Toronto to TREEPLANTERLAND 2010 - 2011
This notebook felt like a significant find. And was a rewarding read for the reader, who is there.
At least two poems were discovered here that he will go back and transcribe.
1 hr 1 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: Snowfalls & Stinkypants
Songs listened to are Baby Julie Come Home, by American Analog Set. Incredible animated video here too:

About Al Dennis, Age 44, Retired
From the publisher's feed
Join Al Dennis in his attempt to retire and stay retired with a little bit of net worth and a few more weeks of unEmployment Insurance coming to him from the government.
He thinks it's pretty easy. He would like to suggest that you change your notions of what 'retirement' is, then do it too.
