I wonder if I’ve ever made a single right decision.”

Reading Twitter today and remembering once again that nobody has watched let alone thought through Caveh’s show about the show

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

"the only true joy on earth is to escape from the prison of our own false self"
This is the second time Nick has remixed HTDW, but calling this one a remix doesn't quite capture what we got here. It's a new, nearly ten-minute bangarino: pure Ibiza true joy 4am, Villalobos sweating through tee shirt, the windows at panorama bar opening type vibe.
The original is a sparse vocal mantra from my record I Am Toward You built around a line of@mystical poetry from Thomas Merton: "The only true joy on earth is to escape from the prison of our own false self." to me, this line names the shared purpose of love, psychoanalysis, prayer, dancing, singing, and really any genuine attempt at transformation of self: gaining that revelatory distance from the person you have, through repetition and @drudgery, confused yourself for. the shadow you've deluded yourself into mistaking for your true self falls away and true joy enters.
I sent Nick the song with this idea of making it severely and ecstatically patient and entrancing. tension accumulates for a long time, then the whole thing breaks open. We passed the tune back and forth until it became something neither of us could have made alone, then trayer mixed it and Zac mastered it.
Rave music mantra for ten minutes let's go. The Only True Joy on Earth - Nick León True Joy 4am Mix.

My overwhelming sense about everything (all of it) is that everyone is either understating or overstating everything.
This becomes clear when you read something really intelligent, comprehensive and focused, like @bognamk or Phil Neel
