It's a band that a friend of mine discovered online and just started talking about. He wasn't the only one talking! All the online attention to this band created an underground swelling of interest in their music. Apparently, this interest flowed into the mainstream after some time. <BR/><BR/>They actually played with Bjork at Austin City Limits Fest a couple of months back. I would have really liked to have seen that gig! Phil went to go see it and he said it was really great but everything he talked about seemed to focus on "the beats." I don't even think that he knew who they were. But I suppose that's what happens when the underground becomes assimilated into the mainstream. Music doesn't serve as a way to connect with other (sub)cultures or people; nor does it serve as a means of self-expression. In the ears of the average listener, music is rendered into meaningless background chatter and escapist crap used for nothing more than "entertainment value." <BR/><BR/>The purity of white noise is more interesting to me than any music review that people of this ilk have to offer.b3A7n1khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13513069806904243649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827743561872724343.post-66027924047436418872007-11-19T13:30:00.000-08:002007-11-19T13:30:00.000-08:00"wald fun bite!" is what the danish textile worker..."wald fun bite!" is what the danish textile worker blurted out while enjoying my 6 hour dj set complete with smoke machine sat night/sun morning..............ha, hey man randomly saw bjork on conan's while visiting my mom last month. Still abstract, creative, and banging which is more than we can say for a lot of artists from that era. She had a full on amazon choir or something. She's tiny, yeah, BUTT those women seemed like turner's sidekicks in thunderdome or something.Zahkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430480442649685124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827743561872724343.post-48356344214733505022007-10-13T11:50:00.000-07:002007-10-13T11:50:00.000-07:00Not quite in the same ball park but fun, none the ...Not quite in the same ball park but fun, none the less.b3A7n1khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13513069806904243649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827743561872724343.post-82451129318754598592007-10-12T06:53:00.000-07:002007-10-12T06:53:00.000-07:00CHAINSAW MAKE LOVE WITH YOUCHAINSAW MAKE LOVE WITH YOUJoshua Riekenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964620818763188531noreply@blogger.com
