You know what's really awesome? THE FUCKING WEAKERTHANS. OMG. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. THIS IS LIKE THE THIRD TIME I'VE SEEN THEM AND THEY JUST GET MORE AWESOME. (Even though they only played one song from their first album. And that was just weird more than anything, because they played pretty much their whole second album, and the last two obviously so

"our retired explorer (dines with michel foucault in paris, 1961)"

THEY PLAYED THAT. IT WAS PRETTY GREAT. (I always get the feeling that I'm mising the point of the song though. Another reason to read Foucault?)

of course you should read foucault but you already know i think that.

i'm not totally sure about that song either other than the context of foucault's main doctorate thesis ("folie et déraison, histoire de la folie à l'âge classique" / "the history of madness") was finished/published in 1961. the derrida reference is probably related to the super-hate relationshop that foucault and derrida had, esp about that work (not that their hate lasted forever, i think they were talking to each other again by the time foucault died).

& shackleton (sp?) was an actual antarctic explorer in the very early 20th c but i have no idea how that's related or why one would think to have them have an imaginary dinner together other than randomness.
