what

been watching the film about joy division member Ian Curtis.
His myth is one of the main lines pumping the despair prosperity channel of current music.
His demise seems to be derived from seeing through illusions of the pally, everything-is-all-right love of his marriage, and the gourgeous freedom of his affair; being in conflict.
there is a problem with this

existence well what does it matter,
i exist in the best terms I can
the past is now part of my future
the present is well out of hand


I think real music comes to the cusp and beyond of destroying things. because it is so immediate. we must not get caught up in the act of destroying something but it is the result we most hope for.

victims of it

everything becomes pitiful beyond -

but don't romanticise

  2. we're all just labrats, when we go; Self induced or otherwise, we either get the diploma/reward, welcome back/woken up/onward bound party or more likely tossed into the great cosmic bio-medical-industrial recycling furnace, or fed to the other research animals.
    Ian's one of the few that may have got the diploma or the cheese.

  4. What didn't you like about it kevin?

    I thought it was good film/ mediocre story. Perhaps it would have been better to end before the suicide.
