INTO, IN TWO, INTO, IN TWO

: "girly loop." moonshake.

still eh:

"Boundaries are established that limit possible communication or, as with certain responses to Ian Curtis's lyrics, provide judgmental barriers that declare that it is not poetry or good writing, nor is it good singing. This is to miss the point and expect that communication must take an aesthetic form that can, to some degree, diminish its impact. The personal expression of deeper layers of subjectivity is, in the capitalist colony, commodified and controlled by means of the various psycho-therapies in a mishmash of analyst fees and privacy... and, crucially for this piece, by much of the music industry, through the faultless expressions of 'singers' specialised in expressing stereotypical emotions that act as surrogates or replacements for our own. These deeper layers, the idioms of desire, can then come to be commodified too and the result is the commodification of human-relations and a lack of having any need to express anything about ourselves because it lacks the analyst's penetration or the poet's poise. Such a disinclination not only creates the subjective imbalances of the suicidal frame-of-mind, but, is indicative too of the pathological certainty of ideologues and, closer to common experience, the inability to affirm a common goal with other people."

...and look, it's THE POINT. for which all i seem to be able to say at the moment is "thank you."

i really believe the utter imperativeness of such statements cannot possibly be overstated. not just for music, but for everything. the "mere" act of living your life is as important and as revolutionary as you yourself choose to make it, and you should allow nothing and no one to take that from you.
