Johns authority is moral. It doesn't rest on aesthetic discernment.

I didn't have time or context to get into anything rubbish. When I was a little boy the first wave of hip-hop was entering London. By the time I was 10 I was listening to hardcore. At 14 it was jungle, Nas, Wu, Mobb Deep. 16,17 I just talked about. Then it was UKG. At 21 I invented grime.
hardcore continuum."Every month, Monkey Pilot will, in his own words, "disappear for five or more long and lovely days every month to prepare for his eight-hour set". What he emerges with is as precarious and eclectic as you'd imagine: Celtic tonality, deep house movements, tribalistic fervour. The night has been through the trance movement, the rave scene, breakbeat, drum'n'bass, balkan beats, an in each case their alternative brand of psychedelia has evolved in conjunction with the alternative dance world, keeping the night bizarrely relevant."
This is why paganism is bad kids.

It's perfectly possible that if I didn't grow up in Stratford I could have ended up a hippy. In a parallel universe there is a Luke attending these events and he is probably happier than I am. But I did grow up in Stratford and I'm not a hippy.
Luckily I never went to a whirly ever, just heard about it from spacecadets who i got acid off of. I'm a male prostitute from the days of abdulhamit's dynasty but even I wouldn't stoop to such lows.

When I did my workshop for the psychedelic society I looked at the Facebook page for my event and saw the people who had clicked 'interested' about 150 of these people, with names they'd presumably given themselves. Like Guinivere Tantric Rainbow And Andromeda Buttercup. Glowing with middle class health and vitality, shiny eyes and beautiful skin and I thought to myself, this should have been my inheritance, this is what was meant to be, how did I miss out?
yeh, this is why the decline of acid gabba and hardcore techno was so bad because it left psychedelia on a collective level to the filthy ethno appropriators, which is also why i don't get acid comunism in 2019, i mean lads we don't even have the right jolt of electricity.
it's hard to fuck them though. somehow their voices lose all the colour of terrestrial people, all vitality. I've never thought kor that's a fit bird i need to chat her up.
In America they are affectionately known as 'cute hippie chicks', apparently. one more reason why America is totally antithetical to my value set.

i've been keeping an eye on this for a while. given my own (well documented) humiliating past, it'd make me feel better to find luke's week spots. he's done pretty good to be honest.
the best i can find is he went a bit overboard with rap; entroducing, trip hop.
also a couple of hints suggest that he might have been into a couple of dodgy pirate stations. a bit more crusty things that his reputation would belie. i can't prove it, but seems to have a bit more of an understanding of electro and aphex twin and things like that than make sense if you buy his narrative wholesale.
i'll get him one day though. i'll spill the beans when i do.
