DROPPING TRUTH TURDS INTO YOUR BALLOT BOXES

"What hope for a country where people will camp out for three days to glimpse the Royal Couple? Where one store clerk refers to another as his 'colleague'? ... God save the Queen and a fascist regime ... a flabby, toothless fascism to be sure. Never go too far in any direction is the basic law on which Limey-Land is built. The Queen stabilizes the whole stinking shithouse and keeps a small elite of wealth and privilege on top ....

The English have gone soft in the outhouse. England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead. Inglorioulsy foundering in its own waste products, the backlash and bad karma of empre. You see what we owe to Washington and the Valley Forge boys for getting us out from under this den of snobbery and accent, this ladder where everyone stomps discreetly on the hands below them:

"Pardon me, old chap, but you aren't you getting just a bit ahead of yourself in rather an offensive manner?"

... The English thing worked too well and too long. They'll never get all that ballast of unearned privilege up into space. Who wants that dumped in his vicinity? They get out of a spaceship and start looking desperately for inferiors."

- William Burroughs, The Place of Dead Roads

(Except I haven't read that one, so I nicked it off K Punk. Cracking though, eh? Oh what? Fuck off! I've read Junkie, Naked Lunch, Interzone, The Soft Machine and possibly another one... 2005 was a bit much...)

Tonight I'm bringing wild synth fantasies old and new (Harold Grosskopf/Nigga's With Guitars), raging hardon white man outsider metal (White Boy and The Average Rat Band/Bone Awl), murder gawking horror OST fear (Tobe Hooper), a prostate pokingly camp Franco disco funk melange (Arpadys), harrowing documentary folk and phantastical bastard song (Karen Dalton/Alexander Tucker) and a hunk of yum from the Nurse With Wound List ( Pekka Airaksinen/Agiation Free).

And a thrumming piece of vintage Oramics to finish you off. Plastic sheets over all yer sofas.
