In my post this morning I spoke of the evolution and chalenging the listener...but whomever suggested they are actually chalenging themselves is dead on. The point I was trying to make was that I can't see them going back to anything. And on the subject of the call to arms, it's supposed to insight riots...It's not actually what I beleive. It makes me work on better tracks by asking what the hell is wrong with music. I say everything is better than it's ever been and half of me immediately goes fucking irate..most music has fucking gelled to almost fossilization (the point where matter ceices to be changing and becomes rock.)I can remember a time that music was closely related to freedom but now it seems like every time I want to get rowdy, no one else does. Just take for example Punk rock. I remember when shows would make me get uncomfortable for fear of some crazy shit going down, the singers missing six teeth and an eye, now it's all these prep kids with spiky hair. I want music to make me fucking feel, Grantz graf did that for me, Brownout (pnonecia) did that for me...that's what I want to do for someone, that's why I make songs is to share feelings because I can't bloody talk about it (just look at this fucking email). There's such a small amount of music I'd even consider close to good and the statement allows me to make tracks that I'd actually want people to hear and makes my style progress. Sorry for this insane rage-fest email...I hope someone agrees and I'm not just some mental case on a street corner going "god damn music.."and screaming nonsense no one understands. Anyway if you read this, and understood it, you are my new best freinds. Happy massacre day Pats _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
