    rave era as recapitulation of the sixties

    is the implication that the market-orientated aspects of rave were in some ways unethical by virtue of being criminal? this was the law which said "unruly" congregation, taking and selling drugs not approved by the government, loud repetitive music and sampling were forbidden... and i suppose...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    cassavetes "shadows" always wanted to see this. slightly blindsided by the character in black face (i mean like WTF) - but given that he's suppposed to be half-caste perhaps partly excusable great opening scene under credits of a party rocking and rolling - getting high and wild - to a guy...

    rave era as recapitulation of the sixties

    i'd be really interested to know your thoughts. gotta be frank - i think you'd renjoy it. re the title. it's a sales thing. it was originally retreat: "health and the counterculture" - but i changed it to "wellness and the counterculture" because that hooks into the whole wellness thing - and...

    rave era as recapitulation of the sixties

    if we're alluding to the book - it doesn't celebrate "wellness". it explores sickness - mostly mental illness in all its various forms but also psychosomatic illness, addiction etc against the backdrop of the counterculture. the people and scenarios are very extreme - there's people smearing...

    rave era as recapitulation of the sixties

    i like jeremy deller i do. and there's nice footage in there. but to reduce rave to a specific political perspective? to try and cram it into a tiny iron box like that? SURELY anyone can see it was a lot more complicated. thank god it was a WHOLE LOT DEEPER than that... i don't even want to go...

    rave era as recapitulation of the sixties

    ha, yeah i actually deleted that post before you replied to it. i don't really want to go into politics - AT ALL - i just don't think it's a particularly illuminating prism through which to look at anything. it's just about tribalism/factionalism. culturewars. there's plenty of well-meaning on...

    rave era as recapitulation of the sixties

    "I just saw the Doors movie. Jim Morrison just tried to break on through to the other side too fast, thinking that all you had to do was take more and more acid. When you can’t break through anymore, when you bounce off it, you become resentful and turn to death. You won’t find that world of...

    rave era as recapitulation of the sixties

    the whole haight-ashbury experiment - with alternative systems of healthcare (the free clinic) police (the hells angels) HALO (free legal advice) food distribution (the diggers) that was an attempt to build a true counterculture but yes as you point out. the psychoanalyst dernberg criticised...

    rave era as recapitulation of the sixties

    this is very true. i remember the whole scally stone roses thing being obsessed with the byrds. i met a mancunian dealer who hung out with us in st germain in paris in 1990. wore paisley shirts and moon spectacles. gruff working class bloke. toking and doing tabs. into the whole mondays acid...
