OK, so this has been a long time coming....... Before anyone had a name for it, i was an East Tennessee electro freeeekr!
Place: Presbo-Bible Camp (banner Elk North Carolina).......
Time: either late 1977 or early 1978.
My councilor was a film major obsessed with Kubrick. His friend (another film major) loaned me a tape of "Trans Europe Express" by Kraftwerk. Can you say: *GAME OVER*? Good, i knew you could! Although, i will never denounced my ProgRock roots (Yes,ELP,and Et Cetera), i feel like Kraftwerk (et Moroder) along with super early DeVo,The THeads (both Eno produced), and the Japanese band: The Plastics formulated much of my outlook on future music (well ok, i liked TangDream as well, but cant we just lump them with Prog? Please?) Footnote: Then again, there was also a little thing called punk.......
At the beginning of 78 i started smoking weed, by the end of 79 i was doing a ton of barbiturates, Quaaludes, and amphetamines, as a result the "BlackSabbathCool" slowly crept in, sinking into a dark haze....... By 81 Krafwerk was again a preoccupation. This time it was "The Man Machine", twaz great fun to get high to, although, the cover would guarantee you an ass whoopin in Johnson City, Tennessee....... So, what you might wonder is the whole point of this rant and rank pullin?
Well, True believers, there is a point! Here goes: There are a lotta people out there who make no bones about giving me (and many others im sure) total shit about how dated my "Electroclash" style is....... FTI: i really liked that ElectroClash shared a very similar (parallel) obsession with 70z and 80z electronic and punk music (und fashion) (esp. early Human League, The Screamers, Delta5 and Fad Gadget). my fashion and interest have been permutating since the mid Eighties: Electro, First Wave (Industrial), Classical Experimental Electronic, Acid House, Goth, RaveBrakes, GrindeMetal, ProgRock, (very)Early House, (post)Punk, Jungle, Dub, HipHop, DHR and Etceteras.......
Kinda wanna say: Thank god these people are jumping ship! i love everybody (well, im not a big fan of people that victimize others, but i still love the spark of goodness that is in there somewhere). in my eyes, electro is pretty much timeless: Futurism detached from the timeline. i love tons of other music, this trend business pisses me off, it kinda seems like a ploy: trade in your synthpunk cool for your Bay City Rollers/VanHallen cool....... No deal here, like both just fine.......
One thing I will not miss: the nasty attitude that came with this last wave. Negative fixation is understandable, being nasty to nice people because its "cool" is not!!!!!!! Think Acid House (even though im a straightedger) is a much better template! Maybee even PLUR!
This last part is dedicated to FLUTTER, think you are onto something good, keep up the good work! You got me thinking about the days when being nice and being/looking interesting was "cool". Thanks! :)

Ever had one of those days where you do the same thing over and over with a slight variation in hopes that one of the variations will solve the problem? kinda makes me respect research chemists....... the invention of plastic was an accident....... think it solidified in a drain, still i bet they were pissed at the plumbing rates....... oh, tra la!

| new additions to the "Angolish" language....... |
[31 Jul 2003|06:24pm] |
the first: Tromedy (combining equal parts comedy and tragedy)
The second: Clupid (the word used to define the fine line between clever and stupid)
Both, together, describe "The Three Stooges" and real life....... to the T! Am i bitter you ask? No, just dealing with the clupid tromedy!

How many bands out there can sound like bad SkinPup knockoffs? It is so like late nineties rave: homogeneous! I met three blond secretaries last night: all named Jenn....... The super hottie one asked me about every little detail of my look....... this took about an hour (twas wearing so much shite i looked like a sea monster.) About then her husband walks up (looking kinda pissed, i bought them a blrthday shot). The guy gave me the "Masonic Shake" , hail the devine architect of the universe....... Jesus learned Freemasonry in Egypt, wonder if he ever macked on women from the Marina? I don't think that is a sin unless you are wed........ Hey! The girl walked up to me! (from the other end of the bar) I was too busy charming to notice the ring! Hahahahaha! Wimminzez that like ''The Three Stooges'' (rare to say the least) are drawn to me magneticaly....... Tis my style of Kung Fu: Larry Curly Moe all rolled into one....... Mabelline lineworks ULTRA-LINER(tm) is key! i highly recommend it, availible at Safeway 24 hours a day!

Is my mental illness the problem or just a symptom? Keep thinking about really disturbing art and why it affects....... Esp>> Trevor Brown....... Maybe this introspection is the result of accidentally dismembering a spider in a botched attempt to keep it from drowning in the shower....... Or maybe its Giuliani being asked to critique a portrait of him done in shite.......

Sometimes i think that reality has, in its structure, something like keyframes....... this accounts for the weird and funkie annomilies....... kinda like: if only points (nodes, vertexes)were predetermined. The rest has to stretch to join....... Today feels like it has a major keyframe in it....... or maybe all this is residue from watching "Bringing Out the Dead" last night.......
