It\u2019s the truth yet to be told to our dearest readers, compatriots, and fellow creators in arts and letters. One of these days, I\u2019m going to sit down and write a few long \u2018blog posts about the ongoing reckoning here at the Secret MICRO-FILM Headquarters<\/strong> and what it all means. As I box up the media, bring together the files, and scoop up the detritus that has collected wanton in recent times, it\u2019s really easy to think too much about what has gone wrong and concentrate too little on what needs to be done. That\u2019s why I tune out the brainwaves with tunes when it\u2019s appropriate. In the tradition of \u201cconsumption\u201d issues of low hug<\/span><\/strong> and Syndicate Product<\/span><\/strong> \u2018zines<\/a><\/span>, crafted for more than 20 years by my friend A.j. Michel<\/strong>, I\u2019ve put together a playlist of what\u2019s been filling the hallowed halls of MFHQ<\/strong> as I make my agreed-upon and semi-forced exit from the sesquicentennial Champaign<\/strong> neighborhood. A majority were conscious picks as I put away the compact disc herd, while a few were stragglers that happened to be left out and about before I corralled the bulk. I don\u2019t have the patience or latitude to write up context for them, so just know they provide me with some comfort and wisdom as I muddle through this. If the selections mean anything to you then at the least you now know a bit more about where my music taste lies. As far as our output, C-U Blogfidential<\/span><\/strong> won\u2019t be the same for a while and the movies of Champaign, Urbana<\/strong>, and the cities beyond simply have to wait. \u201cThis is not just movies, it\u2019s our lives,\u201d the tagline for MICRO-FILM<\/span><\/strong> used to exclaim, but in real life I\u2019ve always recognized the movies as never<\/em> my everything. The gulf between real and reel has been painfully clear, alright, especially these last four years. More soon.<\/p>\n
