turning Gus into a Londoner

[sus]

we'll get used to it eventually

Won't that be a bleak day. The irritant—not made into pearl, just ignored.

 

[luka]

im a very balanced person becasue i am part south pacific part north atlantic

 

[luka]

i can hold optimism and pessimsm in perfect productive tension. it makes me the complete person in a way

 

[sus]

ok Gus the 2nd one I want you to do is this.

This is an OK vocal line over an amazing Dylan sample. Sorry.

Snark, strut, sneer—composure degrading into apocalyptica. Don't know the history of garage so can't situate it, but there's a ton of post-Ptooff music that sounds like this, The Orwells more or less lift their entire guitar+vocal style from this template; nice to hear origins. It feels haunted in a similar way to The Doors, and doing an adjacent calm-to-collapsing choreography—almost trying to be mystic and repellant at the same time. Very "cool" music—the kind of dude who listens to this wears leather jackets, owns two shirts and one pair of pants, drinks hair of dog.

And the first tower has been struck!

yes but you should be able to intuit the argument being put forward which is that cosiness and comfort are central to life on this island

 

[luka]

Gabrilelles voice is standing in for comfort and cosiness here. warmth. security. sweet things to eat. milky tea.

Ri Ri does it better

I thought you'd say that, which is why I picked it. Part of london is about embracing knock off soul, our own home made imitations of american music, wonky approximations which don't intend to be original, but end up being so. We know we're second rate, it's part of the self-deprication. We will casually make death threats to our mates in the pub and they will laugh, whereas in America there is an earnestness which doesn't allow for the same degree of snark and sarcasm. In London everyone is sarcastic, unless they are tourists.

its totally different. this is something important to understand. gabrielle isnt trying to be glamourous in the same way

I like the theory here more than the music, probably, but I'm always glad to learn.

indeed. and indifference. Indifference that its not genuine, not original. Universal, all ages music.

the difference between Gabriele and Rihanna from the london standpoint is Rihanna sounds too adolescent, too overeager, and too drugged out, not deadened enough.

 

[thirdform]

Ok Gus the third one I want you to do is this, and if you feel different about this to Gabrielle, explain why.

 

[luka]

London took to Rihannna, i love her to bits but you have to understand Gabrielle as a thing in her own right but thrid has weirdly given you the wrong tune the right one is called sunshine

 

[luka]

this is the canonical one but third is perverse sometimes

 

[luka]

this was her legitimate pop smash. she wore an eyepatch cos she had a lazy eye. touching.

no I haven't.

I understand the indie mindset better than you, I had to endure royal holloway rock soc, it was traumatic.
