(Ir)religiosity

I really wish I had more time to do substantive blogging these days (like finishing my thoughts on The New Conspirators!), but I’m swamped on the home front with reading and writing for school. Hopefully I’ll have more to offer soon. In the meantime, I’ve been watching stuff like this: a talk given earlier this month by Slavoj Žižek on ideology, power and civility. Watch it if you have the time — it will blow your mind…or something.

So the new Coldplay (Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends) has been out for just about a week now.  The whole record is great.  Here’s a video for the single “Violet Hill.”  I say “a video” because it’s not the official video, which is also good.  But, in my opinion this one is better.  [Ht.
