Will Self On the Russell Brand Radio Show Part 2

[annuity100]

Listening to this i feel like i've come home. Fantastic.

[kelliop]

Brand is a tedious tit! 

[moewishaw]

He actually does have a very good point. You could be going to work, go to a shop for lunch and go home, so for you personally, it is your specific routes which are relvant, not the city itself. It's the reason why you could be working or studying in a city and some tourst asks you a nearby street and you don't really know it.

[ChristopherDone]

@moewishaw Yeah, it's an interesting point. I saw his psychogeography google techtalk a while ago and since I've been kind of walking all over the towns I visit. I'm going to venice this weekend, I plan to cover the whole city (at least, the main island). People who've lived here (Trento, italian city) for years more than me have commented how I know all the side streets like a native, but that's just because I like to walk *everywhere*. :D

I once took a map of Geneva and attempted to navigate my way around Stuttgart. It was a complete accident though. I found the map in a youth hostel and there was a similarity in the position of the youth hostels in both cities. Took me about half an hour to realise. Then there was laughing.

@InnocenceExperience

I did Vienna backwards by IDing the wrong youth hostel

[DnyFranco]

I miss this radio show. Though Russell has escalated since this Manuel gate.

[BoratHIGHFIVE11]

@DnyFranco Escalated into what?Terrible movies?Bring back the old Russ

[ivorbigonee]

will self is a cunt.

[TheDensley7]

@ivorbigonee Have you met him?

[parannoyance]

What about Clive Sinclair - he was into this before the mainstream marketing of Psychogeoraphy where this famous car lover,Will Self,latched on?

[WonderersWay]

@parannoyance Latched on? Like how I 'latched onto' physics?

What are you going on about, it isn't a new band, it is a school knowledge, you don't on, you learn; dumb shit

[parannoyance]

@WonderersWay For a skinny planker,You've got some balls kid. Clive Sinclair's work is far more comprehensive that's what I meant to say. Enjoy your physics. Been reading Genius,bio on Feynman. Now I do feel like a dumb shit - incredible story. Still trying o get my head round the quantum lot.

[owenhunt]

@parannoyance Ever seen the character on 'The Big Bang Theory' whose portraying actor was clearly chosen for his resemblance to Richard Feynman? I think that tell us how likely we are to find the next Richard Feynman.

[frickadele]

Thetans (spirits_)...

latch on to someone's body ...

and their personalities come through...

through your body.

Ever notice how your personality ...

goes Sybil?

[Nosmos]

Will Self has the kind of intelligence that Russell Brand wishes he had!

[greenknitter]

@Nosmos

Perhaps he does but Russell Brand, like him or not, is obviously an intelligent guy also.

I think what's more likely is that he wishes he had Self's Oxford education. Brand being more an autodidact.

[luckystrike1]

@Nosmos Is that supposed to be an insult? I bet you wish you had the intelligence of Will self.

[WonderersWay]

@Nosmos well, durrrrr

[charlesfrith]

@Nosmos I like WIll Self and think his naked ape book is ahead of time but he can be a cock. Look at his New Statesman piece on conspiracy. He's oblivious to the larger picture and Brand most definitely isn't.

[DracoSlashHarry]

This is interesting.

They're talking about the stuffed filmed by Will, Russ and Iain Sinclair for "The London Peramulator"? It's been screened here and there right? I think I'd like to see it.
