The image of Mucho sitting in the sound booth, enclosed in sound-proof glass, absorbing the music on an introspective adventure (prior to the LSD, his experience in the booth is still about him) really paints the picture of Narcissus listening to Echo, staring at the water’s glass-like surface

Michael, you note the city/circuitry imagery before talking about how technology continues to shrink in size while increasing power (forgive me for the elementary vocabulary here, I’m not fully equipped to detail this). Could Pynchon also be foreshadowing the way that housing will be shrunken yet increased (eg. a studio-apartment tower) as the land-development reconquest progresses?

I was sitting here listening to this episode like, oh fuck I need to withdraw my past comment about community chats (narc activities). Anyway, thanks for re-posting

In the context of the recent TrueAnon musings on social media/5g/internet/etc. this discussion of early networks and even circuits is so fascinating. Obviously we all know about JFK in 2022 but this makes me want to read his stuff as an eye-witness to these beginnings. Or at least keep listening to you talk about it! Thanks for the uploads!

Really enjoying these reuploads Mr. Corner, hope your health is improving ❤️

Dear Michael, Much as it pains me to join this parade of sycophants, today the urge has simply become too strong. I am in the middle of my first bout of Covid, and therefore I’ve been off work a few days. I was scanning my shelves for something to read on Sunday and spied The Crying of Lot 49, a book by an author whose work I’ve never managed to penetrate, despite years of trying. Before opening the first page I decided to re-listen to your episodes on the book, specifically the second one. It’s a monstrous episode, absolutely rank with all your essential qualities (intelligence, generosity, bile, humour, allusion, rage…etc.). Anyway, your words chaperoned me through the opening of the book last night, and today I expect to finish it while I languish in my sick bed. Lucky me - I am grateful. I hope your improved health continues. You’ve raised the podcast to an art form, and I regard every new episode of DIJATC as a cultural event. So, thank you. Sycophantically yours, Seamus Flâneury
