Podcasts about Blotter

Wir starten mit einem kurzen Warm-up und dem Setup der Folge: Alex und Max kuratieren gedanklich eine kleine Nischen-Parfümerie – jede*r hat nur drei Markenplätze im Regal. Welche Häuser bringen Reichweite, Charakter und eine gute Einstiegstiefe mit? Welche Flakons stehen für solides Handwerk, faire Preise oder besondere Erlebnisse am Counter? Düfte des Tages Alex trägt Valentino Uomo Intense (2016) – cremig-lederig, viel Iris und spürbare Power, ein klassischer Crowd-Pleaser für kühle Tage. Max entscheidet sich für Prada L'Homme – seifig, sauber, elegant und absolut bürotauglich. Beides zeitlose Safebets mit klarer Signatur. Kurztest/News: Rasasi Hawas Kobra Im Schnellcheck landet Havas Cobra in der „zitrisch-ambroxanlastig & laut“-Ecke. Vergleichbar mit der bekannten „Tiger/Hedonist“-Schiene, allerdings weniger elegant und deutlich jünger im Auftreten. Ergebnis: Spaßig und auffällig, aber eher für unkomplizierte, energiegeladene Settings. Archiv-Segment: drei anonyme Vintage/Old-School-Proben Wir schnuppern uns blind durch drei alte Schule-Samples. Eindrücke reichen von würzig-blumig mit Patchouli/Lavendel/Eichenmoos bis hin zu „heftig old-school“. Überraschung: #1 wird im Drydown irislastig und richtig tragbar; #2 und #3 bleiben markant, aber deutlich spezieller für Liebhaber*innen klassischer Maskulinität. Sample-Review: Tauer – L'Air du Désert Marocain Noir Der Noir-Ableger zitiert das trockene, würzige Wüsten-Feeling der L'Air/Au cœur-DNA, legt aber eine harzig-hölzerne Zusatzschicht oben drauf. Ergebnis: eigenständig genug für Fans, die „mehr Tiefe“ wollen, ohne die charakteristische Tauer-Signatur zu verlieren. Hauptthema: Unsere Marken für die „eigene Parfümerie“ (Top-3 je Person) Max: Maison Rebatchi. Kompakte Range, hohes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, geschmackvolle Präsentation. Rebatchi liefert moderne, fein ausbalancierte Kompositionen, die Einsteigerinnen abholen und Kennerinnen nicht langweilen – ideal, um ein kleines Regal sofort „rund“ wirken zu lassen. Alex: Born to Stand Out. Visuell wie olfaktorisch extrovertiert, mit breiter Bandbreite von süß/gourmandig bis dark-charaktervoll. Bringt Gesprächsstoff, einen klaren Wiedererkennungswert und zieht neugierige Nasen an – ein Frequenzbringer mit Profil. Alex (Finale): Masque Milano. Komplexe, zeitlose Düfte, hohe Qualitätsanmutung – und: 30-ml-Optionen als zugänglicher Einstieg. Masque liefert Storytelling, Handwerk und Vielfalt in einem – perfekt, um Stammkundschaft aufzubauen. Handels-Anekdote Zwischendurch geht's um gute Counter-Erlebnisse (Stichwort Matière Première): Was macht eine Marke „handelstauglich“? Klare Linien, verlässliche Qualität, saubere Tester-Politik – und Düfte, die schon am Blotter neugierig machen. Fazit Mit Maison Rebatchi, Born to Stand Out und Masque Milano wäre das Start-Regal einer kleinen Nischen-Parfümerie vielseitig, charakterstark und zugleich zugänglich bestückt – fertig ist der Mix, der Entdeckungsfreude und Wiederkommen belohnt.

Erik Davis stands tall at the intersection between mysticism, technology, and counterculture. He's one of my favorite writers, the author of many stupendous books, among them "TechGnosis: Myth, Magic, and Mysticism in the Age of Information," "Nomad Codes," as well as "High Weirdness" a highly entertaining book that explores 1970s counterculture and its relationship with altered states of consciousness. Erik is also an Esalen faculty member, having recently taught a course on Embodied Writing and Spiritual Practice. In this conversation, we went into his new book, "Blotter," an extended meditation on LSD blotter art and the culture that surrounds it. We also found time to veer off into a host of topics, including Terence McKenna, John C. Lilly, Dick Price, madness, Stan Grof, the spiritual emergency network, prep-school deadheads, the Village Voice, the Internet and Erik's theory that it kills subcultures, the phenomenon of what Erik calls "cannabis thinking," how he was never much of a "cannabis writer," tape machines and their place in the counterculture, the Merry Pranksters, Phillip K. Dick, Bay Area Poster art, the DEA and its own little zine - and much more. Erik is one of the cofounders of the Berkeley Alembic - a nonprofit bodymind center committed to experiments in transformation. https://berkeleyalembic.org/ You can also find his collected works at Techgnosis: https://techgnosis.com/

Rachel Khong joins Eric Newman to discuss her latest novel, Real Americans. Divided into three parts that each trace the experiences of different generations of a Chinese American family, the book delves into the thickets of identity, exploring how cultural strictures and the chaos of love shape our reality. The first section, set in 1999, recounts the romance between Lily, a second generation Chinese American media intern in New York, and Matthew, the WASPy private equity investor of the company where she struggles to eke out a living. The second section transports us to Seattle in 2021, where Lily's son, Nick, is navigating the end of high school and early college years with his father, Matthew, conspicuously absent. When Nick reconnects with Matthew through a DNA ancestry test, old wounds heal even as new ones are opened up in the wake of long-buried family secrets. In the final section, Nick's grandmother reflects on her experience fleeing Mao Zedong's China to make a new life in the United States, while trying to reconcile with a tattered and scattered family in present-day San Francisco. As these three lives are woven together and torn apart, Real Americans moves propulsively through questions of race, class, and gender as its characters work to understand their relationship to inheritance, variously conceived, around the tripwires of silence, desire, and pain. Also, Erik Davis, author of Blotter: The Untold Story of an Acid Medium, returns to recommend Dale Pendell's Pharmako Trilogy.

Erik Davis joins Kate Wolf to speak about his latest book, Blotter: The Untold Story of an Acid Medium. The book is a study and history of the emergence of acid blotter paper from the late 1970s to the present day. It charts not only how the distribution and legal definition of LSD has changed over the decades—along with shifting cultural attitudes towards the drug—but also how blotter makers reflected these changes in their designs. The book examines the many recurring themes and aesthetics of blotter from cartoon characters, underground comics and advertising, to religious and political imagery, as well as associations with modern art movements like pop and minimalism. As psychedelics move closer to legalization for therapeutic purposes, Blotter is a reminder of the freak culture, anti-establishment origins of LSD and the inventive and playful path one of its main mediums has cut across countless minds over the last half century.
