Vanity Fair
Only three nominations in response to my reputation economy post. Into the roll they go: Acephalous, who has been a very welcome presence in the comment box for our entire two week existence; Jenny Davidson, of Light Reading; she’s an English prof and novelist. Last but not least, Dave Fiore, Motime Like the Present. (Thanks for reminding me, Josh!) Dave has been a welcome commenter at good ol’ J&B from time to time. He is witty. Now he says he’s moving on from comicsblogging - ‘ceptin Cerebus - to film, literature, politics, philosophy. Visit him.
In other news, the reliably Nabokovian nnyhav plants a link to a Guardian review of a new Empson biography in comments to my mock-pastoral Lethem-Chabon post. Complete with post-appropriate quote: “Life involves maintaining oneself between contradictions that can’t be solved by analysis.” Speaking of Nabokov and Chabon, here’s a Bookforum piece on the latter, “Lie, Memory”. Not very flattering. [And now comments alert me to a NY Times article on the Chabon case. Apparently the author of the Bookforum piece, Maliszewski, may himself be guilty of maintaining himself between contradictions that do not admit of any obviously satisfactory analysis.]
Plus nnyhav links to a very interesting Bangs on Eno piece, “A Sandbox in Alphaville". Who knew Eno was “terribly attracted to women with ocular damage”? I like this exchange:
Bangs: When I hear the word ‘shaman’ I reach for my revolver.
Eno: I don’t think it’s a word we should be so afraid of. Being afraid of it only imputes to it more of those qualities we disliked in the first place. Lots of people are shamans.
Do you think that’s true? Joking aside, the whole long piece is well worth the fascination of those likely to be fascinated by tales of Roxy Music; Eno and Fripp. Eno’s background, education, approach and philosophy.
Comments
Perfect Sound Forever generally has good articles. That panel with Eno, Philip Glass, Jerry Casale, Leroy Jenkins and Fripp must have been pretty interesting.
Also interesting that Charles Hayward was one of the two final candidates for Roxy Music’s drummer! I suppose this interview took place before the formation of This Heat since Eno doesn’t mention it at all.
On the article attacking Chabon, apparently its conclusions are hotly disputed, with Chabon and others saying that he always made it clear in various ways that his “autobiorgraphical” lecture stories were fictional. Here’s a Times article on the dust up:

And a Daniel Drezner post:

I missed the first call for additions to the (long, good, impressive) blogroll, but I would like to be included. I am an English Professor, blogging about reading and writing more than about theory or academia. In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve been poking around here since the start and have already written a bit about what I’ve seen… http://fernham.blogspot.com/2005/04/worst-truth-about-engine.html
FLOWEXPO CHINA 2006
International Exhibition on Fluid Engineering ang Process Industry
The 9th International Valves, Actuators,Pipings,Fittings, Pumps, compressors,Seals,Fluid Machinery,

INVITATION
You are welcome to attend our FLOWEXPO!
FLOWEXPO , which is International Exhibition on Fluid Engineering ang Process Industry , was founded in March,1997. We can attend this expo once a year at GUANGZHOU . The Expo date is the last Wednesday in March every year, and it will last 3 days.
The following main exhibit products will be included in FLOWEXPO: Valves, Actuators,Pipings,Fittings, Pumps, Seals,compressors,Fluid Machinery,process equipment, Instrumentation ,Automation & control Systems . We will invite our audience from all kinds of trades such as petrol and chemistry, petrol-making, energy resources, electric power, pulping ， paper-making, pharmacy, foodstuff, drinks, beer, light-industry, construct material ， mining, metallurgy, water-supplying, steam-supplying, heat-supplying, environment-protecting, water-handling, industry equipment installing project, the long pipeline of petrol and natural gas project, architecture 、 water-supplying and draining 、 air condition 、 fire-fighting 、 gas-installed project and so on.
Since FLOWEXPO was founded, over one thousand suppliers have been attracted to attend our exhibition, most of them come from more than 20 countries and areas such as America, Germany, French, Italy, Australia, Canada, Japan, Denmark ， Spanish, Norway, Korea, Singapore and so on. Many people in the profession sing high praise for our exhibition with “special exhibition, corresponding audience and remarkable effect ”, so more than one hundred famous newspaper presses, special magazines, trade websites and sponsoring institutions gave us great propagation and support. At the same time, the sponsoring institutions , together with Chinese concerned departments and guild, organized some famous experts from home to abroad to have technology lectures, and invited design institutions, project corporations, installing companies, imports and exports companies, business institutions, associations and academies to visit, make purchase and communicate.
FLOWEXPO will provide you with good favor in exploiting market and seeking commerce opportunity! We can make sure that our exhibition will achieve greater effect , both the businessman and audience this year!
