@woops has this exact thing with the twist that they became really successful. he actually stole woops karma during a huge acid trip and stole everything woops had worked towards. i want to name him but i think woops might tell me off but woops can name him if he chooses to.
he came from the same street as woops and followed him to london a year or two later, stole his address book and contact list and showed up at all his events and stole his life from him. it was this which forced woops out of music and into poetry in fact.

Is this true woops??

 

[luka]

yes it is true. woops please confirm the truth of this story.

Very shocking. Makes me think of Three Women or something. Very disturbed behavior

 

[sus]

What do you mean he stole woops karma during an acid trip? This seems like the pivotal moment. I want to understand better

 

[luka]

basically they each took 5 tabs of acid. at this point @woops was riding high in the alternative music scene and G***** D****** was a provinicial hick starry eyed and trying to learn from the master

 

[luka]

@woops had released several acclaimed albums released on vinyl and cassette and was booked for shows at a rate of at least one a week he got played on BBC raadio one the national pop radio station

 

[luka]

in the aftermath he had 'lost' his contacts book, labels which had released his albums stopped returning his calls, venues refused to book him

 

[luka]

and The Enemy was on the front cover of the wire magazine. britains preeminent journal of experimental musics

 

[luka]

The Enemy had received government grants and engineered a lucrative career in workshops and educational events

this is all true

@luka is telling it like it is

this shit happens, people steal and ride on the crest of the wave you created

sad, but true

i have a nightmare of someone younger and better looking and more adept at self promotion than me and woops stealing our tenuous typewriter careers from us. no more bookings. no more custom. people accusing us of stealing the idea from younger better looking person.

I am a power mimic a power copier in some sense, I see people doing interesting things I think, can I do that? And I try. But I've never been successful so I'm safe. And I only copy people for short periods of times then I move on. And I usually dedicate lots of energy to celebrating and citing the model

his album was the debut release on famed experiemtnal label 'alien jams'

its important and useful and necessary to do that in my opinion.

But how? Why? Because they thought he was copying the guy who stole his karma? Mr GodDamned was discrediting him publicly?

its important and useful and necessary to do that in my opinion.

Phew ok I'm forgiven or I don't need forgiving
