Shorties (Don DeLillo Interviewed, Members of Crass on the Band's Discography, and more)

The Silence by Virginia Don DeLillo

The New York Times interviewed Don DeLillo.

Technology has changed the way we think, talk. Everything was different before this somewhat abrupt technological advance. Our thinking is less meditative and somewhat more instantaneous. I don’t use a cellphone, because I want to keep thinking in a traditional manner. It helps me concentrate on words on a page.


Members of Crass discussed their Bandcamp discography with Bandcamp Daily.
