Death of God Super Club | Live in LA | Part 1
I wanted to share with you the audio from the first half of The Death of God Supper Club. The second half wasn't recorded, as it was an interactive circle. I want to thank the following people: Gene and Deedie Street for providing food and financial support for the event. Alec Ekvall for creating a live soundscape, Lisa Gungor and James Spaite for their musical performances and Maggie Rowe for her spoken word. The song that Lisa plays here is only one movement in a larger piece.

Life After Death by Peter Rollins
Church of the Contradictioon
This was a talk as part of an event to mark the launch of a zine from Everyday Analysis on Religion, Marxism and Psychoanalysis. Everyday Analysis produces digital interventions that aim to tactically sabotage the prevailing ideological edifice in the name of a negative universal that undermines identitarian discourse. This latest publication marks their first printed intervention and features articles by Slavoj Žižek, Peter Rollins, Cadell Last, Julie Reshe, Matt McManus and Mark Murphy. In this talk I outline what I argue in the zine.
