Call me anytime.Thanks,Oliver This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit boliverb.substack.com2024-09-1723 min
Thinking It OverThinking Over A Fine-Toothed Morning Comb and 'Poem of Yearning'My friend’s have mentioned at long last that they like some of these things, so I am doing it again. Listen in, I expose all my secrets (well, most) and tell the truth about things. I like being truthful and am good at it. It is a practice. Here is the poem I reference in the post:(POEM OF YEARNING) Was meant today to start the new play; A woman is shot and slides down a hill, at the bottom of the hill she dons a mask, a death mask which is covered in gr...2024-08-1633 min
Thinking It OverThinking Over FEAR BOOK FIRST LOOKHELLO TO YOU ALL WELCOME TO THIS EXCITING POST! I put in a little effort here and made a video version of the dang audio post. So you can really imagine you’re there with me and we are friends and all that. (Imagine as well as you’re able we are friends; and you may find at the end of your imagining that it is so :) ) I read briefly from my play and the talk about fear and growth for a moment, and then ask desperately for anyone to be my friend. I find it to be a...2024-06-2927 min
Thinking It OverThinking Over 'One-Way Correspondence with Theo'I’ll attach below, as always, the reference material that I am using here. I have taken some time off, and am pleased, because the first version of me ‘Thinking over' this sucker went horribly. I was too stupid. Now I am smart. I may do a double post this week, which should be informational. If you’re new, These audio posts are referencing previous written posts, so you may want to read it, but it’s fine if not, you can also just read along below.Here’s the shit:Thought-Letter to John A The...2024-06-1826 min
Thinking It OverThinking Over 'Thought-Letter to my Daughter'Listen now as instead of thinking about writing I have a small breakdown!! (I have issues with aural processing) (I find noises overwhelming sometimes) Like this time here now with a garbage truck and barking dog and neighbor noise it is in some ways about art and in other ways a documentation of the deconstruction of my cognitive functions when a little noise comes this way! Well anyway enjoyHere’s the poem for following along, of course:Thought-Letter to my Daughter
Goddamn it just this, listen
I know yo...2024-05-1623 min
Thinking It OverThinking Over Emma's Poem!Now obviously you gotta listen to this unfortunately long episode to understand the purpose of it. But I’ll lay it out gently here as well: Emma sent me a poem for to think over. I go through the particularities of formatting in arduous detail, and talk at length about the considerations. All in all, it takes me about thirty minutes to make some minor edits because of the amount of communication around them. This is fun if you are someone who does not bore easily, and are curious what kind of things I think about after writing for ye...2024-03-1341 min
Thinking It OverDevastating News (and Optimism)This episode (and reading) get better as you get into it. And it’s not super long so.Firstly some notes hear this my guy Theo called me, made a film and he had sent it so yes he and I were talking about that film and a bit later we’re talking about the substack and he, (you know what, this had happened before we talked, when we were texting about talking) he said are you doing alright? yeah man, says I, yeah not much going on- really stabilized a lot in the last mont...2024-02-0118 min
Thinking It OverThinking over Art In GeneralI would strongly encourage anyone who is not very into aural processing to just forgo this whole thing. it is so boring. There are also some mouth nouses for the first several minutes which thankfully cease shortly into the recording but man. Listen, I’ll sum it all up right here: Thinking about the what and why and hows of art and not in a corporate way or a wellness way or a ‘creatives’ way or as a practice or a religioius way or any of that other shit I hate so much. Just talking about ego and failures and wh...2024-01-1926 min
Thinking It OverThinking over the Solstice poemunless you are a super fan, of which I don’t have any- I don’t think.The way life has been working for me lately does not permit generation. I try to remind myself that this is typical, when I get enough energy to do something like thinking. Anyway I recorded this a while ago and why not just make it available? I think I’m going to do more spoken things with transcripts because the generated transcripts have some insight into formatting that eludes me and I think its fantastic. I’m aware that this more or...2024-01-1530 min
