Future Mythologies
A Textual Journey with Maxwell Von BismarckWednesday, November 24, 2004
Random thoughts:
Kraftwerk's "Vitamin" is amazing. After being totally out of it for twenty years, they come back and put out this track that sounds fresh and brilliant and lovely and totally WITH IT. It's like they can be gone for as long as they want and come back and instantly be totally catch the Zeitgeist. Maybe they had predicted the path of electronic music all along.
Daniel Johnston. Why was there all this hype about Cody Chesnutt's Masterpiece or whatever last year? Why didn't everyone just listen to Yip Jump Music, the album which includes by far the greatest amount of quality per dollar and hour spent on it. Absolutely exciting. The way Chord Organ Blues ends and The Beatles picks up immediately, like it's one.
More thoughts to come very shortly.
