further to yesterday on the New Religiose:

Christian at Dream Transmissions blog alerts to me to some relevant and very interesting posts on what he's calling Stargaze

as discussed here

and in more focused way in these posts on Julia Holter and Grimes

reminds me a bit of Fred and Judy "Starlust" Vermorel's notion of "consumer mysticism"

and relates also to this thought i had a while back re. Ferraro et al of hypnagogic being the convergence point between Pop Art and psychedelia
