And I will say, when it comes to anime and Japanese music, it’s a lot easier finding more complex basslines than it is easy ones.

The masthead also features Glenn Greenwald and Michael Tracey, so it can only get worse from here.It’s hard being a bass player sometimes, isn’t it? Compared to guitar resources, bass tends to be neglected, even though they are one of the most vital members of a band.Ī few months back, I made a funky bass line article list, but considering I made easy lists for guitar and drums, it only makes sense to make an easy bass list too. Jennifer Schuessler profiled the magazine and its founders in The NY Times, noting that it was “jump-started by investors (whom they declined to name)” but it seems safe to assume are Peter Thiel and the goblins that caper within his human skin-form, a theory reinforced by the fact that the publication shares its name with a German neofascist magazine, which is just the kind of “joke” Thiel’s goblins would enjoy. I assume the rest of it follows this pattern, but I couldn’t take any more. Nina Power mistakes “patriarchy” for “fatherhood” which makes for a predictably incoherent post lamenting the loss of “patriarchy.” “‘When I use a word,’ said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.’” Īdam Lehrer blames Andrea Dworkin and #MeToo for the fact that if you very carefully exclude all the art men who are horny in public in ways that somehow don’t count, art men just aren’t horny enough in public anymore. For example:įilm critic and committed indoorsman Slavoj Žižek, whose previous closest brush with nature was watching Hitchcock’s “The Birds,” presumes “nature” to be the same as narrative tropes in a couple of recent movies in order to claim that “Nature is no longer ‘natural’”.

Compact specializes in the same kind of pseudo-smart writing for idiots as similar publications like Quillette, basing each post on a foundational category error and a couple of lit-crit references.

Compact, a “radical American journal,” launched this week with a mission to create a new coalition between crypto-fascist edgelords and the authoritarian former left wingers who agree with them.
