Reincarnations

[adelaidesean]

What would happen if reincarnation was real and didn't only go forwards? What do Feynman's time-travelling electron and the velocity of money have in common? One possible answer to both questions is in "The End of the World Begins at Home", which has been reprinted on-line in the e-anthology Journeys of the Mind, compiled by Sonny Whitelaw and published by Double Dragon. It's an odd piece for me, tapping into millennial fears and my half-hearted study of Economics almost twenty years ago. It was first published in Borderlands and I've always had a soft spot for it. I hope it'll be happy in its new home .

(And while on the subject of reprints, this time in translation, I'm pleased to report that The Resurrected Man and the Orphans trilogy have been picked up by Editions Bragelonne in France. This is great because I can actually read French. C'est fantastique!)

isn't Airdrawndagger fabulous? Have you heard his Xpander EP?

I really, really like "airdrawndagger". As an album, it has the most exquisite shape. Every couple of years I stumble across a great electronic album and thrash it to death. Sven Vath's "The Harlequin, the Robot and the Ballet Dancer" was one of them, as was Underworld's "Second Toughest in the Infants". There may be a connection between silly titles and the quality of the music...

I'll track down "Xpander" and give it a listen. I'm a little out of touch with music at the moment. Any other recommendations?

How much of the anti-euthanasia feeling is prompted by one's own fear of dying?

A lot, I reckon. And ironic, really, that the conservative neo-Christian lobby is so anti-euthanasia. What've they got to be afraid of, given what they expect to receive in the afterlife?
