you know the way spotify tells you around now 'you've listened to x hours of guff and y hours of spatchcock'.
my wife was told today that her fifth most listened to genre this year is, and i quote, 'gaian doom'.

what in holy hell is gaian doom? neither of us know.
FWIW, her most listened to track was a diamanda gallas one.

Gaia?


Like the planet is a single organism Gaia? I've heard about this. I didn't know it was to do with music though.

There was a guy about 30 years ago who had a theory he called Gaia.

yep, james lovelock.
i don't know if gaian doom is doom metal about gaia, or metal music about gaian doom.

James Lovelock. As a young philosophy student I wrote an essay drawing inappropriate parallels between his gaia theory and Spinoza's pantheistic monism without really having a clue what either of them were and I thought it was really good but I failed and had to repeat that subject in the autumn :-(

inappropriate parallels

would you be cancelled now for what you wrote?

I have that Lovelock book but haven't read it.

I think from my recent posts you're all probably getting a good idea of how extensive my pile of unread books is!

From the looks of this playlist it's doom from the past 15 years or so?
