Retrospective for 3/26/2016

This week on Expository Conundrum we talked about,

Space Oddity by David Bowie
Stardew Valley by ConcernedApe
All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

As usual we have Bowie sitting outside of the loop a little bit. That guy did always like to be unique. But if you want to start with the title track being about life and death, or perhaps just a dissociative state of mind between yourself and your world in general (I mean we could take that all the way to gender dysphoria if we really wanted too), then we might begin to see where he and Cormac McCarthy begin to line up.

But life and death is kind of an easy line to draw.

The introductory week for Expository Conundrum daily has revealed a great depth in the fields of study we’re engaged in. We’ve listened to classic music and rock inspired by the sixties, looked at anime that captures japan in the early turn of the century, watched folk story inspired mid-nineties kung-fu, played rather culturally significant merger of sc-fi, samurai, catholic, French video games, and discussed in great detail the significance of media studies and moral outrage about one of the newest forms of art.
