UTO - Infiné Music ‘When all you want to do is be the fire part of fire'… say it to yourself and then say it again. Repeat it like a mantra. It's what UTO did. Anyone familiar with the UTO's lauded 2022 debut ‘Touch The Lock‘, which Pitchfork praised for its “prismatic synth pop”, will be aware of the variegated nature of what they do. This album is just as colourful, with Neysa's vocalwork sparking similarities to Kim Gordon's off-kilter vocals, which they both ceremoniously jets through a post-electronica blender mixing stylized indie sleaze productions with 90s breakbeats. While they might appear as a singular entity to others, UTO wrote large sections of this album apart, converging by the fireside to discuss the day's work before coming together to hone and finish the songs. 2023 was, by their own admission, a difficult year, and that's reflected in the Dantean themes expressed in songs such as the lead single ‘Zombie', which arrived at the end of November as a taster for the new record; the latter's dark heart is belied by the skittering beats, glitchy electronics and pummeling sequencers that elevate it from the void. UTO are agents of chaos who've always lived on the periphery of reality, inhabiting an uncanny hinterland of the imagination where dream states coalesce with perceived real life. It probably shouldn't surprise us then that they have embraced AI where others fear to tread, by following the sonic algorithms to see where they might lead creatively, and by presenting themselves on the cover of ‘When all you want to do is be the fire part of fire' as two generated simulations: “This image is not of our faces, but it looks like us,” says Neysa. “It's more us than us.” More fire than fire, one could add. From fire, early man's discovery, to AI, humanity's next great adventure – with all of the wonders and complexities of human relationships in between – ‘When all you want to do is be the fire part of fire' really is about life, the universe and everything.

Dante has started a conversation with two envious penitents . . . a conversation he might not be ready for. They prove more than his rhetorical match. They also muddy the theology of Purgatory itself. Is that intentional? Or are we expected to understand their still-fallen state?Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore more about the two envious souls who interrupt Dante's journey around the second terrace of Purgatory proper.Please consider helping this podcast stay sponsor-free. You can help me with its many fees by donating at this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:23] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XIV, lines 22 - 42. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation, please find the entry for this episode of the podcast on my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:23] Dante's cagey periphrasis about the Arno may not have paid off.[07:00] The first envious penitent is bestialized as he fastens his teeth into the meat of Dante's intentions.[09:49] These penitent shades have lots of debt, even though one soul launches into a typical Dantean diatribe against Tuscany.[14:43] How can good things happen in a fallen world? Only by moving the fence.[16:55] Two inset tercets show the changing nature (or fence?) of COMEDY from a theological poem to an encyclopedic one.[21:59] This passage contains the third and final use in COMEDY of a word for "snake."[25:55] The problem with the diatribe is that is seems to remove culpability from humans . . . or at least, Tuscans.[28:55] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XIV, lines 22 - 42.

Dante and Virgil begin their exit from the terrace of pride on Mount Purgtory. To do so, they must encounter and angel who implicitly calls back Lucifer (or Satan) into the text yet who welcomes them on their way up the less-steep ascent.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we watch Virgil reassert this role as the guide and see another of the epic angels in Purgatory.If you'd like to help out, please consider donating to keep this podcast afloat.

If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com.[04:47] Virgil returns to being Virgil: a guide to the afterlife who quote himself.[08:08] Virgil and the angel both seem to set the plot in motion again.[11:19] Virgil seems more interested in what's ahead and less interested in the reliefs and carvings. In fact, he seems to mistake the lesson from those carvings: Some days, like Trajan's, happen again and again in an eternal art form.[14:08] The strength of COMEDY is that the complex always resolves into the simple.[16:17] Irony: Virgil's "simple" ethic contains a Dantean neologism.[17:20] The beautiful angel contains an implicit and perhaps redemptive reference to Lucifer (or Satan).[21:11] Who speaks the condemnation against humanity? The angel or Dante the poet?[25:54] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XII, lines 73 - 99.

In this episode Sarah chats with her life coach, Dave Kehnast, Author of Undercover Angel. From his book: “In Undercover Angel, Dave takes readers on a vulnerable, raw, gut-wrenching journey into the heart and mind of a sensitive, often love-sick teenager in his explorations of marijuana, LSD, alcohol, and ultimately opiates and heroin. This harrowing memoir brings us among junkies and thieves, prostitutes and police, heartbreak and love, and to Japan and back. As Dave navigates the Dantean realms all addicts face, he ultimately encounters both his inner child and inner warrior—and the unlimited possibilities that emerge from the power of hope and surrender. This rare look at the experience of addiction from the inside out shines a light on the connection between childhood wounds and addiction, and the unpredictable nature of recovery. All those seeking to understand the root causes of addiction, whether in themselves, those they love, or in larger society, will come face to face with their own woundedness, the ways we try to ease our own pain, and ultimately empathy and hope for those who find themselves on this path.” Connect + Coaching with Dave Kehnast: https://www.facebook.com/dkehnast Read Dave's book, Undercover Angel: https://undercoverangelbook.com Listen to Dave's podcast, Undercover Angel: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/undercover-angel-podcast/id1707079337 To learn more about Sarah's perspective: innertruthhealing.us https://innertruthhealing.substack.com Magic Mind Productivity Shot: www.magicmind.com/thealing Use code: THEALING20 for 50% off your first subscription or 20% off your one time purchase.

It's 1991 and Jeffrey Dahmer's depravity has descended to a new low. Tired of his victims dying so quickly, he attempts to create human zombies. Dr. Michelle Ward investigates as Dahmer's apartment transforms into a Dantean epicenter of pain, deviance, and torture, as victim after victim find themselves in Dahmer's clutches. In this episode, we meet Rita Isbell, whose brother Errol's life was cut short by Jeffrey Dahmer when he met him near a bookstore. We also follow as once again the police have Dahmer within their grasp when another young boy escapes from his apartment. Hosted by criminal psychologist Michelle Ward, the Mind of a Monster true crime podcast brings you exclusive access and insight into some of history's most notorious serial killers—with chilling audio straight from the monsters themselves. Season 4 of Mind of a Monster examines Jeffrey Dahmer, who from 1978 to 1991 murdered seventeen men and boys, attempted to kill at least two others, and attacked, drugged, and abused countless more. He cannibalized some of his victims, dismembered their bodies and preyed on the vulnerable to become one of the most depraved serial killers in American history. Across six episodes, criminal psychologist Dr. Michelle Ward consults with detectives, journalists, survivors, and witnesses to dive deep into the case of Jeffrey Dahmer. Investigating his crimes, Dr. Ward tracks his trajectory as a killer and exposes the many opportunities that were lost to prevent his reign of terror. Mind of a Monster is an Investigation Discovery podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why We Make Music, Part 3: Peter and Susannah speak with Esther Maria Magnis about her recent Plough release With or Without Me, a memoir of her father's death from cancer and her own loss and gain of Christian faith. How can a shattered faith be rebuilt after tragedy? Then, they have a wide-ranging conversation with Sperello di Serego Alighieri, Dante's descendant, about his book on his ancestor's cosmology, The Sun and the Other Stars of Dante Alighieri: A Cosmographic Journey through the Divina Commedia. They also discuss the various dramas of Dr. Alighieri's Dantean year, the 700th anniversary of his ancestor's death, including a playful relitigation of his ancestor's banishment trial. Then, they go full galaxy brain: How did Dante's ideas look forward to contemporary post-Einsteinian concepts about the shape of the universe? Read the transcript. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're starting to walk along the first of the evil pouches with our pilgrim and his guide, Virgil. Down below, naked people are being whipped by horned demons. This is the hell we expected! Except maybe not. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I explain some of the historical and cultural references in a passage that may have a garbled bit at its very core. Is that garbling intentional? We'll have to wait for later in the canto to decide. Here are the segments of this episode on Inferno, Canto XVIII, lines 22 - 39 of the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE: [00:51] My English translation of Inferno, Canto XVIII, lines 22 - 39. If you want to read along, you can find this translation on my website, markscarbrough.com. [02:18] A fine example of Dantean technique: seeding the passage with hints of things to bloom later on. Plus, historical resonances in this jammed pouch of the eighth circle of hell, as well as a possible garbling of the passage in terms of which direction who's walking at any given moment. [07:46] The demons appear! And they don't disappoint! They're also a complex parody of Paradise itself. [12:34] The historical analogy in the middle of the passage. It's about the Jubilee Year of plenary indulgences that Pope Boniface VIII called in 1300. But what's it doing here, in our first blush with fraud? Support this podcast

In his new book, Warmth: Coming of Age at the End of Our World, Daniel Sherrell reflects on his career as a climate activist and tries to process the emotional fallout, for himself and his generation - Millennials -, of growing up in the age of climate change. Written as a letter to his imagined future child, the book is a kind of Dantean descent into the pit of emotions - from frustration, grief, rage and despair to hope - that all of us who are engaged with what is happening to our planet must grapple with. This episode inaugurates our new season on climate change and seems like a good point of departure: coming to terms with how we feel about what Dan Sherrell, referencing philosopher Timothy Morton, calls a hyperobject: a problem too big, spatially and temporally, for us to really wrap our heads around.in-the-weeds.netTo lobby Congress to include meaningful climate legislation in the Build-Back-Better bill, I encourage you to check out the Sunrise Movement - sunrisemovement.org

Pier seemed to have come to a conclusion in his last speech with Virgil and our pilgrim, Dante. But he's clearly not done. Prompted by Dante, Virgil asks the shade how it got to be a bush and (more tellingly) whether it can escape. This is a passage rife with problems: Virgil's dualism, at odds with a Christian understanding of the resurrection; Dante-the-pilgrim's on-going silence in the face of his own sorrows; Pier's rhetorical flourishes which become less and less pronounced the closer he gets to speaking about the Last Judgment, the end of time. If anything, Pier's second speech in Canto XIII of Inferno brings up more questions than it answers. This is complicated literary territory. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I take it step by step, exploring one of the most dazzling cantos of Inferno. Here are the segments for this episode: [01:14] My English translation of the passage from Canto XIII of Inferno: lines 79 - 108. If you'd like to see this translation "in the flesh" (hello, Pier!), it lives on my website, markscarbrough.com. [03:26] The passage starts with someone's hesitation. Whose? Virgil's? Pier's? It's more complicated than you might think. [05:06] The first words of our pilgrim, Dante, since way back in Canto XI. And he doesn't say much--except to reiterate the problem of belief and trust in a literary context. Why has our pilgrim been silent? I have several answers, including the notion that we might be in a thematic progression since Canto X with Farinata. [09:31] Virgil's response to the pilgrim--and a literary tie-back to Canto X. [12:07] Virgil seems caught in a potential heresy. The old classical poet appears to be a dualist, thinking the mind and body are separate things. [14:46] Pier's second speech--and the answer to what happens to the suicides in the resurrection. [20:57] The story of the metamorphosis itself: an infernal take on one of Jesus's parables and a tribute to Ovid, all in one short passage. [24:48] Pier's final moments: a strange fusion of Dantean heresy (theological suicide? literary suicide?) and Pier's final honesty after so much rhetorical fandango. [27:54] A final shot: there may be a reference to Judas Iscariot running throughout all of Pier's speeches. Support this podcast

Evening Plays (Theatre Communications Group, 2020) collects three plays by experimental playwright Richard Maxwell. The plays are inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, and all three concern death and dying. The Evening focuses on characters whose lives revolve around cage-fighting and drinking, and also includes searing meditations on the process of dying. Samara reads a bit like a western, though one filtered through a mystic sensibility reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges. Paradiso is, like its Dantean precursor, a fractured, future-oriented work that exists on the border of the human. Videos of The Evening and Paradiso can be found here and here. Several of his paintings are currently on view between Dunkin’ Donuts and Frames Bowling Alley on the second floor of the south building at Port Authority Bus Terminal. Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts.

It's a well-known trope that bartenders have half a novel under their belts, but the gentle art of cocktail-making can slake the creative propensities of many a germinating artist. Fyodor Kuzmichev certainly thinks so, and has seen fit to craft a delicately wrought description of his ventures into the endeavour, and subsequent Dantean exploration of the cocktail underworld.

A fascinating look at karma, reincarnation and the traditional Buddhist vision of hell. The visceral, Dantean descriptions are paired with George's own unique secular Buddhist analysis. This continues the close reading of Manual of Insight Chapter Two, and also covers Burmese vs. Western practices, and practical approaches to noting.

As the legendary Italian poet Dante turns 750, what can he tell us about the human experience? Dante scholar John Took takes us through his timeless angst and joy ridden ponderings on love, despair and existence. | Read along while listening at our Medium: bit.ly/1YjwJyK | Narrated by John Took | Music by Advent Chamber Orchestra, Kai Engel, Tales, Spin Day, Ars Sonor & XXIXI, and Kevin MacLeod | John is Professor of Dante Studies at UCL. His research focuses on the ​Divine Comedy, Dante's minor works as well as his philosophy of existence and theology. Also a Dantean editor and biographer, John published a critical edition of the ​Fiore (a work attributed to Dante) and is currently completing an intellectual biography of Dante for Princeton University Press.
