What I Want To Do

This image got me thinking:
0819565725.jpg I have always wanted to do a poetic/philosophical exploration of the relationship between dub and death, echospace and extinction. Dub is the music of the dead, music for vampires, music for a black afterlife. Dub shatters the walls of oppression not in a political sense (LKJ) but in an existential one. It imagines life without a black body, without black matter. In dub you are floating in the remembrance of things past.

The Veal book is an excellent place to investigate dub. For readers who might not know, I wrote about the book here: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=196562

Those are great sounding books you suggest (neurology?), and the dvd, which makes me want to record the recycling truck outside right now dumping our block's empty bottles.
