New for 2005
vlvt replied to 5co77ie's topic in the eGigs LoungeI would like to sit on a green chair infront of The Damned alternating with Nick Cave, David Bowie and The Creatures till i die *grin* other than that, anyone will do. Ive seen a fair few off 5co77ies 'high profile' list and cant fault his 'more of' list so Im guessing his 'new bands' list is pretty solid too.

The Sage Gateshead,
vlvt posted a topic in North East EnglandI went to The Sage to see Nick Cave solo, I was determined to hate the venue, it is one of the most ugly buildings you may have the missfortune to view. It deserves its nickname of 'The Slug' This isnt some media nickname, its just that as soon as you first see it you kind of pull a face and say, it looks like a bloody great glass slug, coz it does. So up the steps and in we went Wow! It was great inside, roomy and shapely, it looked wonderfull in its simplicity with the curved concrete and glass creating its own style. In to the hall itself this one was 3000 seater hall (there are many halls of different size and composition) with the most perfect accoustics I have ever heard. Much has been made of the fact that the building was purpose built with perfect accoustics but lets face it, every venue claims good accoustics. This was something else though. Nick opened with a cacophony of demonic/angelic sound that hit you like a wave and bowled you over, the loudness was suprising (and I have been to some 'loud' gigs) and the fullness of sound was astonishing the clarity of sound was phenominal but the most suprising thing was the lack of damage to my ears after the event. I have never been to a gig that loud and not had my ears ringing before. (Friends who saw Lemon Jelly the following night commented the same) The Sage well done Thumbs up

Soft Cell
vlvt posted a topic in Gigs & BandsTake note
vlvt replied to vlvt's topic in North East EnglandWell I went and it works, the foyer is partially blacked out and a couple of lead up walls painted black and so a nice little rock venue is made within the main building, which no longer broods and isnt quite as shiney as it once was, infact it looked positively tired. Perhaps being opposite the newly built slug (the sage) is taking its toll.

WMU Alumni Achievement Award 2018
This lecture was given on March 19, 2019, for the Muslim Studies Program at Michigan State University, directed by Dr. Mohammad Khalil. In it, I discuss the 800 year anniversary of the meeting between Saint Francis and Sultan Malik al-Kamil, in Damietta, Egypt. From a Habermasian perspective, I argue that such an encounter can be translated into a template for discourse between religious and non-religious citizens within the post-secular society. This lecture is closely related to my book Islam in a Post-Secular Society: Religion, Secularity, and the Antagonism of Recalcitrant Faith (Brill, 2017; Haymarket, 2018). The book is also available in Arabic through Mo'minoun Without Borders (Rabat, Morocco)
Islam in a Post-Secular Society: Religion, Secularity, and the Antagonism of Recalcitrant Faith
Here's the Soundcloud version of the lecture:
In February of 2019, I gave a lecture at the TELOS conference at Deutsches Haus in NYU. My paper was entitled Political Theology as Civilizational Apocatastasis: On the Political Right's 'Return' to Religion. It was delivered during the second plenary session on February 16. My presentation begins at the 18:30 minute mark.
As the Editor-and-Chief of the Islamic Perspective: Journal of the Islamic Studies and Humanities, published by the London Academy of Iranian Studies, I'm pleased to announce that Vol. 20, Winter 2018, has been released. My article, "Ali Shariati and the Dialectics of Authenticity," can be found in this edition of the journal, along with many other enlightening pieces.
Islamic Perspective Journal: Vol. 20 Winter 2018
Back in 2013-2014, amidst the political chaos of the "astroturf" Tea Party Patriot Movement, I wrote the book A Critique of Ayn Rand's Philosophy of Religion: The Gospel According to John Galt (2015), wherein I demonstrated that prophetic Abrahamic religions cannot be reconciled with Ayn Rand's militantly-atheist Objectivist "philosophy." I warned that if such right-wing pseudo-philosophy was not adequately addressed, it could lead to something worse. That prediction, unfortunately, has proven to be correct, with the increasing presence of palingenetic ultra-nationalists groups forming in North America and Europe.
The book has had success, both at dissolving the false reconciliation between religion and Randianism, and at triggering misguided Randian ire. Ayn Rand's devotees attacked the book because I point out precisely what Rand herself pointed out: her "philosophy" is irreconcilable with religion, and her deification of money, wealth, capitalism, is antithetical to the anti-idolatry Abrahamic traditions as well as the Enlightenment. Ironically, her "philosophy" serves as an ersatz-religion for many of her most devoted admirers, a collectivist-reality which began already when she was alive and continues to this day.
Thanks to the ongoing discourse over the book, Lexington Books, a division of Rowman & Littlefield, is releasing a paperback version of the book in September of 2019. It can be purchased at Rowman & Littlefield's website, Amazon, or any other reputable bookseller.
