http://compendiumtremendium.blogspot.com/2012/11/podcast-intro-to-walter-benjamins.html
The whole is the false.". Podcast Intro to Walter Benjamin's "Theses on the Concept of History". Here's a podcast I made a few months ago. It's an effort to introduce Walter Benjamin to high school students. I'm not sure that it succeeds in that respect, but I really enjoyed the process of putting it together. The soundtrack is all original compositions, minus a few pieces lifted form Satie, Berlioz and various Soviet orchestras. Walter Benjamin's Theses on the Concept of History.

Compendium Tremendium: The Other Side of Time
http://compendiumtremendium.blogspot.com/2010/03/other-side-of-time.html
The whole is the false.". The Other Side of Time. To be clear, I'm not encouraging a radical break with the past. But, I appreciate seeing the temptation laid bare in all of its metaphysical seductiveness. By giving voice to the desire, I feel like Celine relieves some of the anxiety that builds from its inscrutable force .
