Pim en Niels begeven zich voor de zesenveertigste aflevering van Osmium, de zwaarste podcast in het Nederlands, op Haarlemse grond voor Complexity Fest. Nu weten doorgewinterde luisteraars al lang dat de presentatoren oude zielen zijn die gevangen zitten in een (te) jong lichaam, maar in dit geval mogen ze zich heuse veteranen noemen. Dit is namelijk de derde keer dat ze verslag doen van één van Nederlands meest onderscheidende en vooruitstrevende festivals, en dat brengt natuurlijk de nodige hot takes met zich mee. Daarnaast slentert het tweetal als de belegen kaas van het podcastlandschap achter de feiten aan, want ze zijn zo'n beetje de enigen die het nog niet over ChatGPT hebben gehad. Maar goed werk heeft tijd nodig. Vragen als “hoe word je lid van de black metal militia van Watain?” en “waarom is Niels de scenekoning van de Nederlandse metal?” schud je nu eenmaal niet zomaar uit de mouw. Benieuwd naar de antwoorden? Luisteren dan! Met beeldmateriaal van Ruben Verheul en muziek van Pound en Kayo Dot. Onderwerpen: Pound - X-.+.+.X-.+.X-.X-.+ (00:00) De relatie tussen de podcasthosts vanuit het perspectief van de oude Grieken (00:10) Introductie van de onderwerpen: Complexity Fest 2023 en ChatGPT (03:46) Korte terugblik op het ZM-concert van Asphyx, Graceless en Necrotesque in P60 (05:37) Complexity Fest, een unieke stem in festivalland (09:13) Bandbesprekingen op vibes (Oats, Neptunian Maximalism, Zetra, Stake en Pound) (13:04) Kort zijspoor over de tweenabeste snackbar van Nederland (19:29) Hervatting van bandbesprekingen (Aiming For Enrike, Tuskar, Kayo Dot, Birds In Row en Tribulation) (21:44) Wat we in de toekomst meer willen zien bij Complexity Fest, omschreven met een allegorie van de post-moderne schrijver David Markson (31:07) De waarde van ChatGPT voor de metalscene en zijn mening over de wederkerende memes van Osmium (33:30) ChatGPT stereotypeert de black metal militia, en geeft rapmuziek juist het voordeel van de twijfel (38:26) Waarom Niels (niet) de scenekoning van de Nederlandse metal is volgens ChatGPT (43:24) Luistertip van Niels: Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags, speed metal die de sfeer kan doen herleven na een optreden van Kayo Dot (44:43) Luistertip van Pim: Katatonia - Sky Void Of Stars, belegen metal voor belegen mensen (47:45) Concerttip van Niels: Get The Shot, Thrown en Ithaca in Willem Twee, een dikke metalcorepackage in een leuk zaaltje (51:48) Concerttip van Pim: GEL en Cold Brats in Merleyn, nog net op tijd een hardcoreband zien voordat ze ofwel stoppen ofwel slecht worden (53:27) Shout-outs en slotwoord (54:46) Links: Complexity Fest ChatGPT Hellripper Bandcamp Katatonia Bandcamp Get The Shot, Thrown en Ithaca in Willem Twee te Den Bosch GEL, Cold Brats en Oust in Merleyn te Nijmegen Ruben Verheul (Wishful Doing)

Laura Wittner nació en Buenos Aires en 1967. Es traductora, narradora y poeta. Con su talento y conocimiento tradujo al español a autores como Leonar Cohen, Katherine Mansfield, Anne Tayler y David Markson, entre otros. Recientemente tradujo el libro Bocetos de natación, de Leanne Shapton, un inesperado tesoro para lectores sensibles que publicó Blatt y Ríos. Entre sus libros de poesía se encuentran Lugares donde una no está y Traducción de la ruta. Es autora de libros para chicos como Dime cómo vuelas, Los entusiasmos, Justo antes de dormir, vecinos bichos, Animal entendido y Cual para tal, estos dos últimos en coautoría con Juan Nadalini. Su libro Se vive y se traduce, publicado por Entropía, se convirtió el año pasado en un boca a boca para todos aquellos que buscan saber qué hay detrás de ese trabajo muchas veces invisibilizado y siempre fundamental: el de traductor. Se trata de un libro compuesto por notas, fragmentos, y citas de otros traductores que en conjunto componen un libro delicado y potente que habla de la tarea de aquellos que tienen que trabajar con la palabra de los otros y cuyo trabajo no concluye una vez que se cierra la computadora. La lengua, las lenguas, siguen reverberando. Traducir un texto es traducir a una persona, intentar alcanzar aquello que quiso decir y dar a entender y es, también, traducir una cultura. De todo esto habla el agudo y hermoso libro de Laura. En la sección El Extranjero, Hinde habló del libro “Love me Tender”, de Constance Debré y en Libros que sí recomendó “Un trabajo para toda la vida”, de Rachel Cusk (Libros del Asteroide) y “Médicos, maleantes y maricas”, de Jorge Salessi (Planeta). En la sección Mesita de luz, la escritora y pintora Ana Montes nos contó que libros está leyendo. Ana es autora de Poco frecuente en 2021 ganó la Beca de Creación del FNA para terminar de escribir su segundo libro, Meditación Madre, publicado por Concreto Editorial en 2022.

As readers we surround ourselves with books, but some of us fetishsize books while others don't. We talk about book collecting, marginalia, breaking the bindings [yes, it happens], bookshelf porn, e-books, and the books of novelist David Markson at the Strand. We also reference the late Christopher Hitchens and this lovely video tour of his D.C. house with impressive bookshelves and his philosophy of collecting (everything George Orwell ever wrote!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oojddCxCg_4 Music attribution: Music: “Sunday Smooth" by Scott Buckley, used under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License - www.scottbuckley.com.au.

This is a somewhat personal & sometimes somber episode, recorded while the world was changing rapidly around us due to the global COVID-19 outbreak. We do our best to discuss the novel, Wittgenstein's Mistress by David Markson, although neither of us were able to finish it due to external world circumstances. It is by far our shortest post-read ever. We forgot to do content warnings. We have really frank discussions of grief, death, isolation, and loneliness. There is a brief mention of suicide.  While this was recorded, Adrian was in quarantine due to having had extended contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case. I'm happy to report that the quarantine is up and I've been fortunate enough to suffer no symptoms, and my friend who was sick is on the mend. But it the fear and uncertainty of those circumstances color the whole episode. We hope that this episode brings some light into your life at the moment. We'll be back next month with a warm, cozy, escapist book & a guest we've been excited to feature. We'll also be publishing some extra episodes on the feed while social distancing, more information to come on those soon.  Please stay safe, stay healthy, and remember that your health affects not only yourself, but also those around you.  --- As always, we'd love to hear from you!

This March, Spectology brings you a discussion on the little-known but largely influential novel by David Markson, Wittgenstein's Mistress (https://bookshop.org/a/1159/9781564782113). Written from the perspective of the last woman on Earth, it's a sad and clever novel about loss, the Western cannon, the meaning of art, and the importance of other people in creating our identies.  In this episode, we discuss the philosophy underlying the novel. Who is Wittgenstein, and how do his ideas about the philosophy of language underly the project of this novel? How do Bertrand Russel, Kurt Gödel, & Søren Kierkegaard fit into this puzzle? And what other novelists have been influenced by Markson? It's a discussion worthy of Adrian's 2nd annual "self-indulgent pick", and we hope you'll enjoy being along for the ride. One note: this novel isn't available on ebook or audio book. It's still in print in paperback, so if possible please try finding it at a local book store! Baring that, it's available through Amazon, or the new bookshop.org online sellers: https://bookshop.org/a/1159/9781564782113 Also, here is the interview with Markson we reference several times: http://www.bookslut.com/features/2005_07_005963.php  --- As always, we'd love to hear from you!

Coming at you in person, Matt & Adrian sat down in the same room to record an episode about Colson Whitehead's post-apocalyptic literary novel, Zone One (https://amzn.to/2MR1hZT). We loved this book, and had in particular have a lot to say about its relationship to other apocalyptic literary fiction, the ways the novel discusses, analogizes, and interacts with depression & PTSD, and New York City in literature and reality. Other works mentioned: * Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead * White Noise by Don DeLillo * Cosmopolis, dir. by David Cronenberg * 10:04 by Ben Lerner * California by Edan Lepucki * Wittgenstein's Mistress by David Markson * Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel * The New & Improved Romie Futch by Julia Elliott  (Links in the shownotes at spectology.com if they don't show up in your podcatcher.

300 Arguments (Graywolf Press) A “Proustian minimalist on the order of Lydia Davis” (Kirkus Reviews), Sarah Manguso is one of the finest literary artists at work today. To read her work is to witness acrobatic acts ofcompression in the service of extraordinary psychological and spiritual insight. 300 Arguments, a foray into the frontier of contemporary nonfiction writing, is at first glance a group of unrelated aphorisms. But, as in the work of David Markson, the pieces reveal themselves as a masterful arrangement that steadily gathers power. Manguso’s arguments about desire, ambition, relationships, and failure are pithy, unsentimental, and defiant, and they add up to an unexpected and wise piece of literature. Praise for 300 Arguments “A writer's life, solitary and complex, broken apart—not into shards but puzzle pieces. . . . A slim, poetic self-portrait that opens up as you read it and stays in the mind.”—Kirkus Reviews “300 Arguments shook me. It’s dark, but the darkness comes from a refusal to look away. Its humor is wounded but present. Is it possibly a sort of novel? The writer says somewhere, ‘This book is the good sentences from the novel I didn’t write.’ The idea holds up when applied, and the attentive reader will intuit an encompassing narrative. Sarah Manguso deserves many such readers.”—JOHN JEREMIAH SULLIVAN “A new book by Sarah Manguso is always a cause for celebration. She is a poet-philosopher of the highest order who combines a laser-sharp intellect with a lyric gift and a capacious, generous heart. She is one of my favorite writers, and with 300 Arguments she deepens her inquiry into the very essence of what it is to be human.”—DANI SHAPIRO Sarah Manguso is the author of three book-length essays, Ongoingness, The Guardians, and The Two Kinds of Decay; a story collection; and two poetry collections. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she teaches at St. Mary’s College. Ethan Nosowsky is Editorial Director at Graywolf Press. He began his career at Farrar, Straus and Giroux and has also been Editorial Director at McSweeney’s. He has edited books by Jeffery Renard Allen, Hilton Als, Kevin Barry, David Byrne, Vikram Chandra, Geoff Dyer, Dave Eggers, Sarah Manguso, Maggie Nelson, and Jenny Offill among many others. He lives in Oakland, California.

Today my pants were so tight I forgot to plug my mic into the computer. Audio troubles due to too much takeout. Human troubles due to too much of everything. But hey, as Markson reminds us, we're all gonna die anyway. Markson proposed a Death-of-the-Month-Club. David Markson died in his own bed and his entire library went directly to the Strand Bookstore.

Laura Sims is the author of three books of poetry: My god is this a man, Stranger, and Practice, Restraint (Fence Books); her fourth collection, Staying Alive, is forthcoming from Ugly Duckling Presse in 2016. She edited Fare Forward: Letters from David Markson, a book of her correspondence with the celebrated experimental novelist (powerHouse Books), and has also published five chapbooks of poetry. Her work was included in the anthology, The City Visible: Chicago Poetry for the New Century, and individual poems have recently appeared in: Black Clock, Colorado Review, Talisman, and Denver Quarterly. Sims has been a featured writer for the Poetry Foundation's Harriet blog, and has been a co-editor of Instance Press since 2009. She teaches literature and creative writing at NYU-SCPS and lives with her family in Brooklyn.

Colin Marshall talks to Françoise Palleau-Papin, teacher of American literature at the Sorbonne Nouvelle and author of This is Not a Tragedy: The Works of David Markson. The book comes as the first study of its length of all of the late Markson's novels, a body of work which includes such early detective "entertainments" as Epitaph for a Tramp and Miss Doll, Go Home, such intermediate and comparatively traditional yet still exuberantly inventive books as Going Down and Springer's Progress, and the final five novels for which readers know him best. Running from Wittgenstein's Mistress to The Last Novel, these brief but deep excursions into isolated creative minds showcased Markson's unmatched skills at shaping facts and ideas from art, philosophy, literature, and history into narratives like no other writer has ever written.

The Last Novel (Shoemaker & Hoard)David Markson has invented his own "personal genre." His novels present collaged panoramas of the travails of art and artists—the bad reviews, the rivalries, the life-long neglect, the impoverished deaths. His juxtapositions can be comic or tragic.
