限界は何処だ

we attempted to help the Limits re-colonize the United States and return Her Majesty’s territories to the Commonwealth Realm through Punk, a trick they’ve used to great success in the past - John Lydon, Cal Morris, Steve Ignorant, Taf, Pete Shelley, Ian Curtis, Howard DeSoto were all on the Crown’s chequebook. You should see Eddie O’Toole’s palatial estate… it’s no wonder he uses an adopted surname.

Here are some stream-of-consciousness notes, text messages, hand-scrawled sentences I took down in the van and on the road (all typed, as I have no scanner or appropriate camera). Excuse the shitty formatting, I am not bothered enough to make it look nice. This is less than a week’s worth, unedited, I need to find the rest or sit down and type from memory… I’ll certainly do that sometime soon. Until then please see MODERN HATE VIBE vol. 4.

• As I sit in a major coffee chain to get internet access, I am sitting next to four guys discussing their jobs, sitting about 3m from each other in a circle. I’ve gathered that they’re on the crew for some movie that is being filmed here. “gaffer’s a lonely job man, but no, it’s bullshit for them to tell us how to do our jobs. just cause they’re familiar with the script… i’m supposed to read it as thoroughly as her? Fuck her. She can’t even speak English… Labor is so cheap or whatever, but you can’t be speakin Brazilian instead of English. We could’ve wrote Heroes instead of this shit, man. Heroes.” I am now vividly remembering how banal NYC nightlife conversation is. Please, talk louder, no one’s impressed yet

• GUN OUTFIT was, quite literally, awesome. best of folks, great band, etc etc etc go see them. 

• DOUBLE NEGATIVE’s DAYDREAM NATION will be out in days. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yes, my favorite record of 2010 so far!
