Thatcher's War on Acid
When politicians act like they're morally outraged and
ask questions in parliament, they get kudos by being seen to be ‘upholders of
morals’. But the people that are breaking the morals, the youth cult, they also
get kudos, because young people like to shock. Shock sells records and sells
tickets to acid house parties. Youth culture is very symbiotic; the man and
youth cult are two sides of the same coin, really.
Mike Riley
I've never understood being proud of where you're from. You
had 0% control over that. Be proud of things you've done and who you are. You
have 100% control over that.

Hi Austin
Hi
Austin. Fuck SXSW. There… I said it.
Here, the
music comes last. 5 minute set-up, no sound check, 15 minute set. The
“music” element is all a front, it’s the first thing to be compromised.
Corporate money everywhere but in the hands of the artists, at what is really
just a glorified corporate networking party. Drunk corporate goons and other
industry vampires and cocaine. Everyone is drunk, being cool. “Official”
bureaucracy and all their mindless rules. Branding, branding, branding.
It’s bullshit… sorry.
