hello folks.<\/p>\n
you may have noticed in recent times a chill has settled on this part of the wire.<\/p>\n
and the reason ? <\/p>\n
well, basically, there’s fuck all to report on.<\/p>\n
you see when i have something to show-n-tell, i do, for example see the posts i made while i slummed it in downtown chicago earlier this year (part 1<\/a>, part 2<\/a>, part 3<\/a>, part 4<\/a>), and when there isn’t of interest i don’t.<\/p>\n currently my life can be summed as thus : <\/p>\n – get up\/feed kids\/eat\/drive to work<\/p>\n – work<\/p>\n – drive home<\/p>\n – feed kids\/eat\/clean up\/watch tv<\/p>\n – read miles davis<\/strong> autobiography for 30 minutes<\/p>\n – pass out<\/p>\n – repeat until !.<\/p>\n throughout this ongoing routine there is of course a soundtrack to alleviate the stress\/boredom, which happens to have focussed primarily on the six talcum soul<\/font> compilations (hardly a duff’un amongst the 120 tracks!), dusty springfield<\/strong>, various david axelrod<\/strong> productions, donovan<\/strong> reissues, and the chilled out prog excess of amorphous androgyny.<\/strong><\/p>\n clearly there has been little appetite for anything sonically fresh, as my ears and head demands comfort zone sounds.<\/p>\n i should advise that this apathy towards the world of 2010 has not been something that has sat well with me. i have become aware of this ongoing disconnection and so via several youtube sessions, tried to understand the appeal of the current salem<\/strong>\/witch house phenomena and to be honest, everything i have heard leaves me cold and unmoved, despite the aural signifiers (dark moods, industrial noise) being very much part of my dna.<\/p>\n
