DB10 - Unhinged, obscene, and disruptive -The Impossible Aesthetics of Giving a Shit.Recorded inside an echoing Tin Sheds Gallery at Sydney University while tradies lay floorboards in the next room and reality starts to warp. Teenage dancers take down the monarchy. A Rolex gets scratched into a manifesto. Hornsleth buys a village with livestock. The line between satire and sincerity dissolves. Silence becomes violent. Cringe becomes sacred. Art school gets roasted. Silence is political. John Cage was 15 once. This is a lecture .There’s a theory for everything.It’s a...

DB10 - Unhinged, obscene, and disruptive -“I Am Sitting in a Beat” : sonic experimentsDB10: Klein, Kristeva, and Cop Cars! We navigate the wreckage of straight desire and the shadow spaces of queer longing in this unhinged exploration of gut fantasies, suburban beats, and the surveillance of pleasure. What connects curdled milk to ADHD stimulants? How do abandoned wedding venues become sites of homosocial possibility? And why does playing Nutbush in a disco-lit bushland feel like both liberation and entrapment?We sit in a room with Alvin Lucier’s sonic experiments, and the spectral lisp of post-dental trauma, all while interrogating how beat spaces get policed like family structures an...

DB10 - Unhinged, obscene, and disruptive -From Jizz to Jazz: the Desire and Violence in Everyday Straight Men’s RitualsThis week, we walk down King Street on a Friday night and go to a funk/jazz/trance fusion gig, all to try and see what men do when they get together in public. We close our eyes and find the same (giving) head movement in jazz and heavy metal. Tim brings a million year old shit to the recording for some reason, but smooths it over like the hem of his McQueen skirt. Melletios collects rocks from the tar pits of Marrickville, but fails to impress his friends. We settle on settler sexuality as a term that inscribes...

DB10 - Unhinged, obscene, and disruptive -Camouflage or Capitulation: Sabrina Carpenter and the Straight GenericThis week we dive into the straight generic of Sabrina Carpenter. Tim becomes intoxicated by what he hates and Melletios has a revelation about dildos. We discuss how Carpenter’s almost all white, all straight women audience are a symptom of late-stage heterosex, where desire goes to die and find solidarity and acrimony in a shared aisthesis ofdisappointment. Carpenter’s explicit generic is both camouflage and capitulation to compulsory heterosexuality. Her songs are palliative measures to get us to the end. Like the unused dildo beside the marital bed, Carpenter promises afantasy that buys us some time. What we do w...

DB10 - Unhinged, obscene, and disruptive -Part 1 ~ Chappell Roan vs. Sabrina Carpenter: or the battle of the pop generics.This week Tim has an identity crisis over a bottle of Aldi wine. Melletios tries to be serious because he doesn’t know who Sabrina Carpenter is. *ha. In this episode, we define the generic as a product of industrial capitalism that evacuates desire through the normative. We discuss (Big Daddy) Freud’s palliative measures as a generic coping mechanism. In Part 1 we talk about Goodluck Babe and Chappell Roan as an example of the queer generic that plays on nostalgia to reveal the emptiness of straight desire. You can try to stop the world, but when you fail, we a...

From T. rex to Scorpio, propaganda to posthumanism, it’s all about Tim, really. Thank you, thank you, thanks, see ya, family.Instagram
