Electrosuck
Nov. 8th, 2002 02:06 amSo all the hipsters are talking about The Electroclash Movement like it's gonna fulfill their Andy Warhol fantasties. Not that I don't have any.. like that time I showed up to a party with in banana suit with a "peel here" sticker on the zipper. Oh those were good times... but alas I digress.
Therefore in characteristic curmudgeon fashion let me be the first lambast the trend you proabably haven't yet heard of
*note: I really say "Fuck electroclash" in that punk-rawk build-it-up-tear-it-down fashion. I quite like Electro and would love seeing the renaisence. It's just that it's been branded since day 1. Always a bad thing. It'd be nice to see a movement in culture that isn't immediately contrived into The Next Big Thing For Making Scads of CASH.
Fact: The next Kylie, Madonna, J-lo and whoeverthefuckelse single has a 90% chance of being retro-electro influenced. I guarantee it.
Oh, might I also mention how lame it is that Moonshine records, purveyors of fine d&b for the suburbs, is releasing a record called "Electro Nouveau" on the 21st. Not unlike the groundbreaking record "Disco Nouveau" from Ghostly International. It's sad because Moonshine has more capital thanks to boring acts like DJ "the same Amen break on every record and available at a k-mart near you" Dara. I really out to research which particular likely executive hipster motherfucker coined the term "Electroclash"...

I consider my paintings as personal and political images presenting a positive and celebratory attitude toward menstruation.Yay, she's menstruating. Tell ya what honey, I'm gonna smear my fecies on a canvas to create a personal and political image presenting a positive and celebratory attitude towards defecating. |
