Who Speaks?: Narrative Acoustics and Imperial Listening from the Modernist Novel to GenAI

Orcutt Shelley Miller add one more legendary name to the fold, paring up with The Jesus Lizard’s David Yow for a cover of the Beefheart classic “Hot Head.” As broiled & barbed as one might expect, a fastball of hot wax and thumbtacks that comes at the listener from all directions. bit.ly/4sBthRQ

Very sad that my alma mater is closing. Bad tidings for higher ed, liberal arts & free thinking. It was the only college that accepted me, a troubled student with promise, which they recognized & nurtured. My DIV III was on Sun Ra, Debussy, & exotica, the first stirrings of my dissertation & book.
