    The pit.

    having said that theres loads of times doing your thing feels like a complete slog and wasted effort and you seem to receive sign after convincing sign that its high time you hang up your boots

    The pit.

    when i was a bit younger i probably got overwhelemed and put off by the idea that there are millions of idiots with logic pro all over the world dedicating all their free time to making electronic music, and that there might be a problem in that, that maybe that was not a sign of a healthy...

    The pit.

    yes well its on an absolute level playing field as being human and love and all sorts of problems arise from putting it on a pedestal. not to say that it isnt also of paramount importance above all other things

    The pit.

    the point is that it will never last and you have to keep it up, we've all got a pair of eyes and ears most of the time so no ones got any excuse

    The pit.

    i mean it doesn't hurt to try, you can spend a week trying really hard to read jerusalem and feeling like a twat and still go back to work as staff coordinator for tk maxx on monday

    The pit.

    yeah, when i say making something more of your life that is only in the sense of responding to a fleeting glimpse of the grand vision you've previously sensed, in any stunted, embryonic fashion

    The pit.

    i dont think there is really a call of the wild that means some people become visionary geniuses more than others, i think that is a dangerous idea

    The pit.

    obviously there are all sorts of good reasons to not spend your life flogging yourself for not being as much of a visionary as youd like to be, and any "art scene" in history has its lampoonable elements to be avoided. but the embarassing aspects of these have more to do with the delusional...

    The pit.

    i think everybody can relate to this, the pit mentality takes those two versions of yourself, intellectual visionary and mediocre wanker, and convinces you they are concrete immutable consistent selves. and naturally youre the mediocre wanker. whereas its probably more accurate that from...

    Collage

    the 80s has that hamfisted sampling everywhere that gets streamlined later on. thats why that glenn underground trakc i put on here a while ago really surprised me, the vocal bits have that same clunkiness feels more like this the 80s collage stuff sounds like someone painstakingly splicing...

    Smoking IS cool.

    i got really into it at a funeral a few weeks ago. i imagined it had given me a sultry baritone croak and was wearing a suit, the whole experience has left me with a very delusional sense of self, i keep showing off at the shop holding court with the checkout assistants

    Smoking IS cool.

    i think its one of the svenonius books where he says smoking is a ritual designed to announce a societies' industrialisation, people turning themselves into chimneys, and this is why china and indonesia are big into it compared to the west

    Smoking IS cool.

    i'm temporarily back in the game. im great at quitting ive done it loads. i find it really easy to quit if i decide to do it on a round number, say 6 months to the day, after i start smoking again. you can make up a start date and it works as well. so far the arbitrary number pattern has always...

    Drag City

    royal trux are great and i used to love them but they should have been the last band. their whole setup felt like a tacky seance of Rock n Roll itself that got out of hand. trying to invite in and exorcise all the demonic forces invited into the world when mick jagger turned 40. jennifer herrema...

    Choon of the Day

    i never listened to this special ed record because at the ripe old age of 22 i assumed he would be past it. so many great tracks on it though. compared to say black moon or smif n wessun he doesn't do that weird new york jamaican accent, like my dad doing one.

    (Art as) Communication vs. Expression

    one good example of that would be pirate radio music probably grime most of all where the entire structure of the thing is superhumanly designed to maximise the effects of each component.

    (Art as) Communication vs. Expression

    my vague reaction is that the terms arent so solid, any attempt at communication failed or successful is expressing lots of information and any distilled expression mundane or divine is going to communicate a lot. i suppose you are talking particularly about writing, so for the arguments sake...
