Alex Pheby's Malarkoi

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

2022/09/03

The Discourse Labyrinth has once again trapped Langdon and Eden! First, they must do battle with online """Leftists""" to defend a Marxist reading of Foucault (while stabbing the actual man repeatedly, luckily he is already dead). Then, the two dive into the maze of Platonist, reality-bending, weird fantasy that is Alex Pheby's Malarkoi! Talking dogs, gods, ideal realms, time manipulation, and general malarkey abounds. Music played: Gods of Eden - Through the Abyss

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

To celebrate 3,000 followers on Twitter, Eden sits down for a solo episode exploring Hope Mirrlees' "Lud-In-The-Mist", a forgotten classic of faerie metaphor. The discussion revolves around Mirrlees herself, the undertones of class in the story, and how it further explores tension between city and country, center and periphery, and more.

Moderan - Flesh-strips Toned Down

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

2022/07/24

Langdon and Eden must first do battle with, and slay, the ancient demon known as "comps" by wielding the mighty sword of post-modern Marxism (real). Then, they tackle the unbridled, full-on, max-fury, chrome, battle-ready, forgotten, unsung masterpiece that is David R. Bunch's scathing sci-fi satire, "Moderan"! Music played: Parannoul - Beautiful World. https://parannoul.bandcamp.com/track/beautiful-world Touccan - Captain

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

2022/07/13

Returning guest Alison Rumfitt (whose book Tell Me I'm Worthless you need to read) is back to get elbow-deep in medieval pee-pee and poo-poo as we immerse ourselves in Ottessa Moshfegh's Lapvona. Is she crypto-fash? A talentless shock artist? A doo-doo obsessed genius? Just a good writer who writes good books? We discuss this and Alison's new book, Morbid Obsessions, writing about the internet and ant genders on this unmissable new episode!

Steve Erikson - Shadowbahn

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

2022/06/17

In Dakota, the twin towers reappear. Inside them Elvis' still-born brother is resurrected. Elsewhere, JFK loses the election and siblings roam the US following their father's elusive, and exhaustive, playlist for a crumbling Union. A DJ croons across the wastes. Reality buckles in the wake of music's death. John Lennon lives. It's Steve Erikson's Shadowbahn! Before that, Langdon and Eden (remember him?) also talk about how Cool and Also Good™ it is for different types of communists to be absolute

2022/05/01

Foul Tarnished, we have Matt Calquhoun with us to extinguish the meagre flame of your ambition by talking about the games of Hidetaka Miyazaki - Demons Souls, Dark Souls, Sekiro and now Elden Ring. We discuss whether these games can really be said to have a politics, the true meaning of nihilism and we solve philosophy by determining that hauntology is when things are old and dialectics is when there is two of something.

Subverting the Dying Earth and Vancian Fantasy

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

2022/04/06

In an episode that's been a long time coming, Langdon and Eden tackle Vancian fantasy, the Dying Earth sub-genre, and how these might be subverted to tell both radical and conservative stories.

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

2022/03/22

The philosophy world has turned on poor, innocent Freidrich Nietzsche, calling him a 'reactionary' and 'proto-fascist' and 'incel' (probably), but YouTuber Jonas Ceika (aka CCK Philosophy)is here to bring him back, jamming his deeply anti-egalitarian thought into that of Karl Marx, who literally invented being nice. Can he make a convincing case that these two thinkers are compatible? Spoilers: yes. Music by Wormrot and Holy Fawn. Transvalue all values by giving us your money to spend on anime

They discuss topics like the impact of poverty on the psyche, climate change, the collective and individual trauma of the Iraq War (both of them), femininity, and unrequited love. Oh, but not before discussing yassified Melkor and Sauron fan art. You know, Death // Sentence stuff. Music played: Moon Tooth - Carry Me Home

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

2022/02/09

A Marxist analytical conversation about the current state of music distribution. Langdon invited RSH, a pop music critic for Billboard as well as a writer at various other venues, to discuss the rift between Spotify and Neil Young. The focus of the conversation is less on the particulars of this specific incident and more on the historical and material conditions that led to the rise of Spotify rooted in musicians not owning the means of production/distribution of their work, an issue that is only

David Wengrow and David Graeber - The Dawn of Everything

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

2022/01/21

This time around, Langdon and Eden dive deep into the early stages of human development, the Enlightenment and our political predicament with Wengrow and Graeber's "The Dawn of Everything"! But first, they take a trip to a more recent time, looking at the rise and fall (and rise) of "dark" progressive music through the lens of Pain of Salvation's current...situation. Then the conversation turns to the folly of the Enlightenment's rigid perception of history and the meaning of a broader, more
