Frankly speaking, here our scene is not only still very very fucking tiny compared with those of the neighbourhoods (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines for example) but also grows very slowly all the time add to that retarded and polluted by these following shits as I can think of at the moment! First we have the swarm of ticks playing hardcore or shitty lousy metal in false way (muSUCK or bad Thai lyrics, in one way or another) yet these posers call themselves ‘metaller’ or ‘undergrounder’ without sense of shame!! Then second all such don’t try to expose their existences to the overseas, but who the fuck cares? even better fortunately since such junks will not defile our beloved world scene more filthy, thank FUCK you!!! The next comes to a huge flock of donkey fans ‘n ass followers who support these fake groups, likely their understandings toward the underground are dully similar to their lovers, this turns out no correspondences go beyond from these lazy asses!!! How far can they think they are in the underground even though they don’t know anything about ‘zines, distributors or any kind of u/g activities? They just always pick up from piles of expensive CDs in the stores, purchase only the licenced cassettes at hand locally or even badly buy tons of illegal bootlegged copies, of course most of all before-said are bigshot bands too! Merely bullshit CDs collectors or fuckin’ asshole listeners, they are! Not the underground persons!! They do trends fashionably just for fun or to separate themselves from the mass! Sure knock these metalwannabes off then praise the true hordes up here! We still have some true devoted bands, ‘zines, labels and distros hidden in the bottomless pit doing the underground silent movements strongly but you fools will never know! And last but not least, our scene quite doesn’t grow well for lacking of supportive activities for instance we have gigs once or twice a year and mostly with shitty acts! No radio shows, no newsletters, no webzines, no metal shops, no metal pubs and of course no Satanic churches, haha! I just wish Thai underground scene will get enriched and be clearly recognized as one of the world scene days to come…
the “near sphere” / self-structuring effects of shame - what can I do, what can I do well, how do I do things in a way that will avoid shaming, and so on - infelicity, the violation, goofing, fucking up, inborn inadequacy, failure, stage fright at, “historical conventions” - mutate them or queer them - but induce also shaming and punishment (which appear sometimes as perlocutionary ripples, drifting out from and fading away with temporal distance from the shame-inducing event, or as traumatic (triggering) - with an autonomous (self-activating, self-amplifying) drift - sometimes as explicit challenge (defiance), sometimes as unintended, unforeseen, “naive” deviation)
and see the “stress epidemic” stuff in Wilson 2004 - p. 24
plus the “intersubjective event” of blushing - p. 75
plus something about the autonomous self-amplification of an affect - def. in Tomkins but possibly in Wilson, also here (on triggering)

hermeneutics of the selfie
Foucault lectured on the hermeneutics of the self. I wonder if he ever talked about kenosis, the emptying or negation of the self, or the will of the self, to leave only a corporeal frame for the divine will. Could there be a hermeneutics of kenosis? That might be to ask, can you unpack and interpret an empty frame?

What’s the difference between Modernism and Postmodernism? Heh. Well, imagine an iron man, powerful and muscular and naked, all angles. His face is cold and indifferent and awful, like a gothic cathedral, and there’s a dull flame in his unmoving glass eyes. You open your…
