faith & devotion
Here's to hoping everyone had a happy V.D. day. We held a ceremonial anti-dinner. No couples allowed! Be one with reveling in your non-relationship "support casual sex" freedom! Or... ah... something along those lines. It was fantastic. Fancy D.I.Y. punk-rock cuisine; red wine and hash. Someone brought over a documentary covering a an Indian holy celebration. It was very intriguing-- from what I remember-- although I think the Ira Cohen narrative may have been slightly over the top if I hadn't been stoned to Mars. (Post-beat? What?) But maybe that's half the experience. There still seemed something "off" about a bunch of mesmerized american kids eyeballing and romanticizing-- through a television screen-- a culture which couldn't be further separated from our own "value" *cough* system. Talk about how we could do without the current stomach-turning state of corporate America, but none of us could survive if we were suddenly dropped into the middle of nowhere, India. A happy medium, perhaps?I guess it could be worse. We could be rich and all-white american kids.--------------------------------------------------Confidential to Narx: (I was going to email it last night, but I've been experiencing dysfunctional email angst lately. I'll just put it here. Everyone else can sit and wonder.) Fucking awesome! I was bouncing around like a titillated schoolgirl! I'm in relive-my-9th-grade-year-but-in-better-stereo-quality heaven! You can bet yer ass I'm going to spend a portion of this weekend designing album covers. Geek yes. Negative 3 has been one of my favorites forever and ever. The remastered version sounds incredible. By the way, I saw your überhomo hero Scott on tee-vee the night it came. That was even better. Mmm. I miss his green hair and swanky fashion sense, as both have disappeared completely. The KMFDM is awesome, too. (I thought you hated them. *smirk*) Cheesy as it is, I love 'em. I know exactly what I need to send you, but I have to molest a VCR out of someone first. I'll mail the first part out next week (maybe even along with Nersh's unfortunate ton of duct tape. I'm sorry! I'M SORRY!) and get thee the video whenever I can. It's going to be an interesting project.

If we're thinking of the same Scott, he got fat and somehow grew terribly bushy eyebrows. And if we're thinking of the same Negative 3, that song is great. They remastered it?
We are. He looks horrible now. It's sad.A bunch of demos had been remastered. I don't know if it's going to be released on a large scale... or any scale at all. I ended up with a copy through Narx and his ultra-cool tendencies. As for how HE ended up with it, that's anyone's guess. *blink*
What can I say?I'm a groupie.But since I only put out for oral, I get demos. And not gigs. :|
"Negative 3"! Yes! I had a shoddy-quality tape that had demos of that, "Thrift", "Filth", "White Knuckles", all sorts of stuff...*sigh* I feel 16 again. *smirk*Don't feel bad about the cultural appropriation. I'm reading South American novels and am theoretically trying to decode the various stages of enrapture and disillusionment that the authors go through with socialism. How does Vargas Llosa's vision of multiculturalism compare with Saramago's? Is revolution an inherently necessary struggle, or do all class conflicts need to be contextualized and compromised? I am in way over my head.Glad to hear about the anti-VD party. While I'm in the "enemy" camp this year, I support any and all vitriolic counter-attacks launched upon the Hallmark empire.
I don't like KMFDM. :/ BUT, these demos were so quirky, yet so fun and silly I had to burn one for myself. Heh! I give credit for them in those times. Post '87: NO.
Hon, I think the authors are in over their heads.I may not have a cemented relationship, but I do still have a stalker! :D
