linkedin dude on bowie reminded me of coming across this, maybe the thing that links all of owen's favourite musicians is their profound influence on the corporate world

I meant "destroyer" in the more philosophical sense, as in one who brings transition, creates transgressive work, upsets the establishment, ch-changes, and so on

That reminds of a funny story related to that word my friend who shot the Blackstar video told me once. Let's see if I can remember it.

Not about Bowie though, although it is fashion-related.

"Nirvana rehearsed ten hours a day before recording 'Nevermind' because their house was so freezing they tried to stay away from it as much as possible."

Literally cool. Not enough modern artists are freezing.

Confusing Owen Pallett with Patton Oswalt is the new best thing in this thread.

tbf humans have a natural tendency to see pattons that aren't there

i clicked on the top rated article on that site..... woah.... scary stuff

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 17 January 2016 21:03 (ten years ago)

though he did accurately capture how every Bowie fan subsumed their personalities becoming mindless Hitler drones.

Golly! This is the kind of abjection that Hitler was once offered. One is tempted to say that they are the words of natural, or at least willing, slaves who seek to dissolve their selves and forego their will for that of some other person.

I have vivid memories of seeing this book cover on mid '00s trips to Waterstones, some kind of masterpiece of 'society is in the gutter' self-parody

i mean i just think that we should completely ignore the gross right-wing grime-lickers of the world, even when looking for stuff that is Bad

they thrive on their #trollgaze shitty opinions eventually luring in disaffected members of the Privileged Class

maura, Sunday, 17 January 2016 21:38 (ten years ago)

it's a play on online hashtag-irony that works in a horrifying way

maura, Sunday, 17 January 2016 21:39 (ten years ago)

Yeah, people who disagree with Us politically should definitely be ignored. That's never backfired.

the top man in the language department (誤訳侮辱), Sunday, 17 January 2016 21:44 (ten years ago)

no, that's not what i'm saying. there's a certain strain of discourse that codes as right wing right now, but that exists mainly to fuck shit up. it's apolitical if anything; its only aims are to elevate the profiles of its figureheads, who cultivate cults of personality made up of the easily charmed. but a closer look reveals that its arguments are incoherent, its convictions based in little more than sticking wet fingers into the air.

maura, Sunday, 17 January 2016 21:50 (ten years ago)

engagement with them is futile because they exist to exhaust their opposition with bad-faith debates and siccing their hordes on people.
