Tears for the slug-crawl
of culture and art in this
wavering, insipid age?
No! It’s the punching fist
that springs from my pure,
inexhaustible genius,
to bludgeon the false-arbiters
and fad-loving, corpse-fucking,
tasteless, trusted literati, whose
love can purchased through PR reps.
The product is this:
our people are made
INERT! INERT! INERT!
Is it I, seulement, who must say,
though it seems clear?
This strange new thought came to the artist, who mulled it in silence, surveying his companion: a young salivating music journalist, praising him at his publicist’s orders.
Feeling an impulse to question the press’ bearing on art, there’s a prick in his neck: his head turning to that of a horse. He stamps thrice in the dirt and speaks this verse: ‘Neigh! Neigh!’ (though inside he tries to articulate: ‘Though I’ve a voice, its only heard as a noise! Though I’ve a voice, its only heard as a noise!’).
“Direct hit” whispers Coehn’s man parked outside, returning a blowgun to his pocket. Inside, the journalist’s mouth fills with saliva.
“Ooh tell me more”. He turns to a great ectoplasmic ball that envelopes his muted companion, wriggles and glows, then speaks this verse:
THE MUSIC JOURNALIST’S HYMN
It’s good enough for them,
Their souls won’t be overfed.
Begone, those who ask for too much!
Begone, those who question this pact!
Begone, those who look too far forward!
Begone, those who ask for too much!
BEGONE!

A triumphal noise. Manages to sound distant and immediately engaging at the same time.

More grim, scuffed-surface lo-fi electronic music from the mysterious Clan Destine label; ghostly, surreal, and strangely riveting.

I don't hear a lot of this kind of music, gives me ,loose Sonic Youth vibes. Everything about it is cool, like too cool for school cool. I want to skip class and spray paint an alley with these people.
