    Just what the hell's going on in London?

    that is not the implication of what i wrote, although coincidentally i would sort of agree with it there are 15yr olds who can get £200 a day selling drugs, how can you convince someone to forgo that in favour of the possibility of lower middle class wage serfdom in the future, however much...

    Just what the hell's going on in London?

    if you were growing up in that environment (slightly stupid imponderable) wouldn't selling drugs seem a more viable option than going to [shit university] and joining the lower middle class? lots of priviledged white kids do the same, the difference being they can get out of it easily enough

    War In Iran

    Just what the hell's going on in London?

    that's interesting cos i was looking at the old articles about it and the link seems flimsy, there was loads of hysterical shit that summer and it got conflated with the deluge of photos of the misspelt placards at council estate paedopogroms

    Ariel Pink

    this is to my liking not sure i have anything original to say about ariel and i feel i should be uneasy about the emaciated regressed narcissism even though i'm not, and any good pop from california would probably be the same After swinging by his father's gleaming La Cienega office building...

    Wire's 154

    the list of 80s soul reminds me of ghostface attributing his motown fixation to the songs that might have been played during his (and other's) conception in the 60s/70s

    Wire's 154

    that's the title track off pink flag, which is their their finest (half) hour and album-as-concept, thereafter they were going in two directions, although what was lost in coherence was gained in complexity their last album 'send' is one of the best middle aged reformation albums

    and i imagine a psychoanalysis with some 70yr old paleofreudian is going to be a long way from the feelgood platitudes and compulsive disclosure of selfhelp psychology, why would someone pay $1000 a week if they weren't going to suffer just a little

    can stuff like Boxcutter be considered "outsider art"

    the conceit of outsider art is usually that an artist is outside of more than just a clique of likeminded artists and received protocols to use your logic someone like charles ives or possibly even james joyce would be categorised alongside henry darger i think the term is very awkward and...
