You are the most disciplined person I know. How do you keep up with so many releases?

Then I need to become as contrarian as possible while I still can

my taste is still changing and I'm 25

I finally made it *wipes tear from eye*

worst ever... cultural desert out there. pyrrhon got dropped by their label (sums up the times).

i don't really know why... perhaps there are no real innovations possible now (although people have thought that throughout history)? is it a problem with the world - a kind of liberal capitalist stasis (nothing else seems possible); maybe people are too comfortable (computers, iphones)? or... too uncomfortable (high rents, insecure finances)...

maybe the internet culture has just over-saturated everybody with distractions - wasn't trout mask replica made in a situation of near poverty isolated from the world ('living on beans' - maybe a myth)...

the biggest thing i notice is the divide between the pop world and the alternative world now. even in the early 90s when slint was ignored, you had r.e.m. and nirvana in the charts. in the 70s you turn on the tv and see johnny rotten, in the 90s kurt cobain, now... drake?

the internet age is a corporate age, a smooth age... obsessed with high-fashion, verging on aesthetic fascism

maybe a new space age is around the corner? i'm hoping...

What are you busy with nowadays? I wish I could take over that huge responsibility, but I'm afraid I'm too busy too :(

Thanks for the add!
