Famed agoraphobic Minoy makes public
appearance? An exercise in aversion therapy, or a much needed venting of
a repressed urge to perform this profound non-music in public.
Whatever
the motive, by the evidence on this cassette, it was a very successful
event. Especially having the plug pulled 15 minutes into the
performance, with some suggestions from the management of the ‘pub’ that
it was ‘Devil Music’. One of the most amusing moments is when some
female audience member says something really counter-cultural, like:
“Jesus Christ maaaaan what is this? Nazi Germany?”......er......Yes it
is, in all but name . Lets not forget where 1% of US citizens are
currently residing?.......Yep,thats right, in Jail. Having a population
of 300 million, that makes a prison population of approximately 3
million; a total that could rival any dodgy regime ever. That coupled
with the American Taliban preaching Christian propaganda in middle
dumb-ass American schools, via the ironically named ‘Intelligent Design’
explanation of the universe; which makes even less sense than the 'Deep
Thought' computers' conclusion in ‘The Hitch-hikers Guide to the
Galaxy’.(42 ,if you didn’t know,or live in middle America). The
inexplicable support of the neo-nazi Israel, when there are only less
than twice as many Jewish people in America than there are prisoners;
which suggests the motives are not to court the Jewish vote, but
something a bit more sinister. Why don’t those lamentable ‘politicians’
court the criminal vote by legalising theft.........no, wait a minute,
theft is legal; its apparently totally legal for banks to steal
taxpayers money to finance their ambitious gambling habits. Not to
mention invading any country that produces oil, to ‘protect ‘civilians
and promote democracy, but ignoring any African genocide. Which doesn’t
suprise me in a country where Black’s (was gonna say black people, but
thought it sounded wishy washily white liberal speak), weren’t fully
emancipated until the late 1960s; and this lot(the US govt) even love to
lecture the rest of the planet on how to be like the ‘land of the
free’, sometimes at gun point! I mean, ask Abe Lincoln:
Actual quote from Abraham Lincoln:
“I
will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing
about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and
black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making
voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor
to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this
that there is a physical difference between the white and black races
which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on
terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so
live, while they do remain together there must be the position of
superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of
having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon
this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have
the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”
There's a statue of this man in Washington!?
This
is why we need more of this ‘Devil Music’ (if you are stupid, or from
Middle America/ages , the Devil is a superstitious creation to deter
anti-social behaviour, and doesn’t exist outside of fiction)performed
,and banned, by the intellectual minnows that are the powers that be.
(Don't
be upset if you're american, I love american people, even the
rednecks!;and your land.It's just your fucking government,and unelected
bodies like the CIA etc that I despise.Just a personal opinion, if any
cunt from Texas has a problem with it! He can Fuck right off!)
The
music, as performed by Minoy and PBK, is as expected; droning
electronics/tapes, permeated by shrieks ,percussion, and Minoys’ unique
staccato guitar style. Slightly more rock’n’roll than his home taped
works, but I think more provocative as a result. Although the constant
murmuring and idle chit chat that permeates the whole of this recording,
suggests a certain intransigence from the punters; one can even hear a
game of pool in progress at one point in the tape; but it all adds a
certain Cagian (as in John Cage) ambience to the proceedings, that only
highlights the harrowing bleakness of the music.
