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)
