Those of you reading Curios in the UK are still likely reeling from the staggering realisation that the Conservative chancellor who’s married to the child of a literal billionaire doesn’t perhaps give a flying fcuk about the lives of the poor! I know, I was shocked too! As far as I can tell, this is the account of a german man who posts nothing but vaguely-inspirational spangly memes (in German) interspersed with terrible food photography, and, honestly, I can’t see how seeing this crop up in your feed couldn’t improve your day by at least 35%. Germanien Wolf 0457: Ok, so I don’t speak German and therefore can’t be totally certain that this isn’t something awful – I don’t think it is, but obviously if I have mistaken linked to anything appalling then let me know and I will obviously get rid.Tell you what, when the DALL-E2 stuff starts becoming mainstream, these sorts of things will get properly weird. Gore Krampus: Very much a MOOD, this Insta feed, a dizzying parade of cleancore and post-vaporwave and anxiety aesthetics, I like this because it neatly-captures that very modern concept of ‘vibe’ without at any point giving me enough context to adequately describe what said ‘vibe’ might be.

THE CIRCUS OF TUMBLRS IS ONCE AGAIN SADLY EMPTY! LAST OF THE MIXES THIS WEEK IS THIS ELECTROTECHNOITALODISCO SENSATION BY THE ROBOT SCIENTISTS! This is pretty much perfect in every way and I recommend it unreservedly, even if I don’t really understand what the fcuk is going on at any point (although after about five minutes or so it started to click for me – excuse the slight pun). I really don’t want to tell you too much about this, other than to STRONGLY ADVISE that you click the original link and just keep exploring. Tetrageddon: Finally this week, Tetrageddon.THE SECTION WHICH THINKS THAT THE MEDIA’S SINGLE-MINDED OBSESSION WITH TWITTER AND CONTINUED INSISTENCE THAT IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SPACE IN HUMAN HISTORY IS PERHAPS MORE TROUBLING THAN ITS OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE, PT.1: LET’S GET BACK TO IT WITH TOM SPOONER’S LATEST ALL-VINYL OLD SOUL MIX! I am still Matt, this is still Web Curios, and you are, I imagine, so grateful to have me back that you couldn’t possibly find adequate words to express that gratitude and as such won’t.
As such, I like to think I’ve returned to the coalface (no, that’s not right…spaffface? No, that’s definitely not right either and I promise I will never type it again) with a renewed sense of hope and enthusiasm, but let’s see how long that lasts shall we?Īs is customary after a post-hiatus Curios, this one is particularly full, bulging at what one might loosely term ‘the seams’ with a lumpy, heterogenous and unpleasantly-textured smorgasbord of stuff – so obviously the best thing do do is to shove your face in and see what sticks to it. Well I had a lovely week off, not least because so doing meant that I got to avoid both The Slap and April Fools (but mainly because I got to see my girlfriend and have conversations longer than 30 seconds at a time).
