what i want back is this one where the magazine twit is in his tour bus with the afx and phrases like "continuous bong rips" coupled with "while absolutely destroying me in repeated games of simon" [referring to the 80s physical toy memory game]
and it's disappeared, because the interviewer was not being nice when he wrote about the bong rips. and you can feel the "what a stoner arse" out of the entire thing and i guarantee you it's gone because rdj sued the piss out of the guy. who was a twit, honestly. but i'd encourage letting that one come back online because my reaction was, like: that's great. the person writing this is a twit
on being useful: could you peg a date range? or a context where you saw it? the thing with memory is you need a little hook, a detail to say... OH YES! that one. and so far i've nothing from what you said

i mean, like, can your typical 39yo recall, i suppose, specific frames of i was yelling because hello sean booth here i am. and god what an arse. so incredibly sorry. and this is 17 or 18 years ago, a memory from when i was, frankly, shitfaced. and most people, i figure, would just say "oh yeah i had a great time!" and not actually be able to pull back the details of how, precisely, they made a total arse of themselves, and why would autechre themselve even remember? if anything it keeps me honest. and out of the sauce anywhere even close to that level

where you lose a lot of yourself is when you've said something more than 2-4 times and 4! factorial etc you begin to lose your index of where, how, precisely, before, even though you do very well know... i've said this to the point where it's more like the repeated motions to sharpen a knife... and i am very much fascinated by the process
this one, i've apologized at least once before. i feel likely it is precisely once. but my answer is precisely the same as the last time the matter came up -- because when else would i even access this memory; let alone discuss it? -- sorry, so sorry. i want to reach back in time and slap myself.
so now is where we say: oh, right. nanotech. 2024. some shit about afx interview with vikings and i don't think we've actually seen that? can you more? nevermind. you've asked about -- hell, i have no doubt i could pull the exact date and scrub through it and find myself on the illegal recording being loud for a moment and want to slap myself even more, and, no, i'm putting this back on the shelf now. sorry. i don't drink like that anymore. i was 22. it's still a poor excuse

i was thinking, i can let myself off the hook somewhat -- yes, i was like that back then, but look at how bill drummond has behaved into his 60s. like, i understand how you might feel about some twat microwaving your car back from the dead, but.. vandalism like that? into something some... well, some twat -- put love and care into? are you trying to surpass ginger baker in being an nasty old cunt? are you a heroin addict? whatever, no worries -- thank you for being a pioneer and giving me some breathing room; a light draft from the overton window you've creaked open a bit further
and i'll never get an answer, but i'd like to know how often you cut your fingers and how you handle it when, like, you're fine; this does not even hurt. it's just bloody OBNOXIOUS... and what's your next move? i'm taking notes. not asking for a friend

while i'm here. the thing with the blanks. i've better sense than to ask "why" in general, but -- i'm curious about how much thought you put into your particular choice of firearm that day and why you decided that was the right hardware for the job
artistically.

and, oh, i'm writing this all fully expecting he'll never even see it and this has impacted my stylistic choices, and it's not how i'd write that if i knew he'd somehow, actually, see it. but they are real questions. even though i am 95% sure bill drummond wound fucking hate me -- and that's only because he's granting me a courtesy

LAZY_TITLE ~ oh, hey. this is good, crap, all of this
6 Don’t come the rebel The rebel is often presented to us as the hero. The rebel sets out to kick the shins of the establishment, but in so doing only acknowledges the supremacy of the one he or she is kicking. And often ends up just strengthening the establishment. It is always best to ignore the establishment and use your energy to get on with what you are trying to do.
we're absolutely on the same page, but you meant "you never fucking hear coca-cola mention pepsi, but pepsi is comparing itself to coke all the time, and have a think on that before you blindly feed the machine's energy
7 The Lost Commandment I don’t know when it was lost. I’m still searching for it. I almost found it once.
it's somewhere in my bullshit thread.
1 Don’t make art for rich people i've gone even more cantankerous and decided art, itself, is a scam
but then it goes rancid, like
Make the Soup, Shine the Shoes, Climb the Tree, Bake the Cake, Walk the Mile, Fly the Flag, Build the Bed, Sail the Raft, Vandalise the Billboards.
and i am both delighted and alarmed. Bake The Cake, hell, i had pretty much exactly this. and i can hear echoes of plenty other Solid Momentous Conclusions i had tripping balls, but i'd posit where you really went wrong is locking yourself into a list of LSD moments and deciding this list owns you, and let's add more stuff to own me and narrow myself down further. you're connecting the dots, you hypocrite
but i would very much argue connecting the dots _is_ art. and maybe you're being a punk and refusing to accept it
[and -- david bowie; the ultimate american knife. an uzi says certain things an ak47 does not. maybe it's simply what he could get ahold of? i kind of like a mac-10 to take care of the music press]

thomas kuhn and the structure of scientific revolutions. a paradigm shift. presuming basic familiarity and not letting myself wreck through an attempted summary.
depressing thing to me was: people build entire careers off of a theory. they have supplicants and lackeys and a 10-year plan that goes beyond the mere gift of tenured professorship -- that as they age, it becomes about legacy. who wants to have their life's work debunked five years before they kick off? at this point, even people who were genuinely hard on themselves to be reliable begin to crack; delude themselves. in between is: i've put ten years into this; i can't give it up hastily. i've put twenty years in, this better be right. and finally, for science to not get stuck up its arse, the person has to effectively die. then their legacy continues to get in the way as their hand-picked successors continue riding the same train. it's one of the many surprisingly functional aspects of death
that to change yourself, your reality tunnel, past a point -- that actually is a form of suicide. changing yourself so much that the former person no longer exists. flipside, as you age, you get harder, narrower, less neuroplastic, because you've gradually made up your mind about more and more of the world. and, really, i think this is worse, because now you're the walking dead. a zombie train
it helped me a lot to say "fuck art, i'm doing science now" because it gets me back to a particular moment i had, where, well -- that it will never be even a remotely casual affair, but there will likely be points in my personal development that i have to take things i have lovingly worked on for decades and throw them under the bus. if i'm not prepared to do this i'll either get sucked under the wheels of my own conclusion, and/or gradually turn into stone
my ultimate advice: if you're still breathing, it's not too late. perhaps do something ballsy and cull your list down a bit

- any choice of gun is a choice, and there are reasons behind any choice. idly curious
- the question about the bleeding finger, despite disagreeing with this that whatever i feel like he'd sort me out somehow here
- i very carefully tried to be "useful" in my very first reply
- nanotech didn't answer my request for more search parameters
- now this is a recycled thread about bill drummond, bill drummond's psychological problem(s), some proposed solution to aforementioned problem, things bill drummond could sort me out on, autistic LSD lists, things i could sort bill drummond out on, what an artist is saying to the audience when (s)he selects an uzi over a mac-10, and -- coming soon -- ways to live trap field mice with improvised device(s)
