The Carousel Podcast

On this week’s Carousel, I’m joined by legendary poster and science fiction author Zero HP Lovecraft, a foundational pillar of the art right alongside BAP and Tacos.

We discuss Zero’s recent thread on how universal suffrage careens ever-closer to pitting the Male Party against the Female Party.

I’m joined by returning guest Anthony Arroyo to talk about memecoins in the Age of Aquarius.

He has a freshly minted memecoin called $BLIMP. It goes up, it goes down, it goes up again. Why? What means?

In a way, memecoins are bets on mimesis itself; fundraising tools, coalition builders, and also completely frivolous. They give us a good sense of where we are in the increasingly bug-like hivemind that makes up humanity.

I’ve written a bit about blimp resurgence movement before.

I plan to finish this series in the exciting and beautifully designed Blimp Journal in coming months.

Very special guest Jake Adelstein, author of the gonzo memoir behind the fantastic HBO MAX show Tokyo Vice. Last week I wrote a piece on the show, an expanded version of a very viral tweet about why MAX doesn’t market it.

Jake has a great new podcast from Campside Media called The Evaporated about Japan’s epidemic of missing people. Both suicide and intentional disappearances are very common in Japan, where the stigma of social shame can be overwhelming.

I’d also like to direct readers to his follow up to Tokyo Vice, Tokyo Noir, available on Scribe. After his stint as a reporter, Jake took a job in corporate intelligence, doing so-called due diligence in the private sector. Tokyo Noir tracks this adventure as well as the real reasons for the rapid disappearance of the yakuza.

On this week’s Carousel we have young stud and fellow mischling Adem Luz Rienspects. We hung out at the ball this weekend in Vegas. Total killer. Love this kid. Still haven’t read his book Mixtape Hyperborea which is slightly embarrassing, but it’s very highly regarded and reviewed.

Note, the event we talk about on the podcast isn’t the Astral Ball, but a Mars Review of Books reading at Hadrian’s in LA featuring Delicious Tacos , Illegal Thot, and others that was really quite good. Just so as not to confuse you.
