certain sounds are disappearing into memory and there's a ringing in my ears. i don't know how long the ringing has been going on. it seemed to intensify after the joker, folie á deux at the universal studios omnimax in l.a. it also goes back further to the many ear-splitting rock and roll shows i went to in my drunken time. but sounds are disappearing we may not even think about drowned out by technology and insidious machinery and bullshit on msnbc i never listened to anyway. this started out by an article i've yet to read in resurgence magazine about the great muting of the anthropocene. i'll read it now.
