Distort #47

Establishing a thinking about music and writing about music that is unsympathetic to academic resonance or market value is very important. Distort is in this spirit. I lay in bed and listen to the city and think about Sakevi plotting revenge. He knows what you did.

Modern Melbourne comedown: interviews with Brando’s Island, Justin K Fuller and Moon Rituals, a piece by Jess Johnson who illustrated the art on the cover, a piece by Jesse Thomas about the YDI record Black Dust, and some writing on choice modern psychedelic, hardcore and psychotic electronic music: Glue, Blotter, Puce Mary, Culo, Long Knife, Perspex Flesh, Martyr Privates, Goosebumps.

Order here.

The mystifying ideological claim that looting is violent and non-political is one that has been carefully produced by the ruling class because it is precisely the violent maintenance of property which is both the basis and end of their power. Looting is extremely dangerous to the rich (and most white people) because it reveals, with an immediacy that has to be moralized away, that the idea of private property is just that: an idea, a tenuous and contingent structure of consent, backed up by the lethal force of the state. When rioters take territory and loot, they are revealing precisely how, in a space without cops, property relations can be destroyed and things can be had for free.

Flier for The Men / Total Control show in NYC, 16/11/12

I don’t remember too much about this night - I got strep throat and was lying under the merch table most of the show.

This was the night that a couple of idiots came to the show with a baseball bat to threaten a friend who’d busted one of them in the face. When one of the baseball bat wielding idiots was told that the other had been punched because he’d hit my mate’s girlfriend in the face, the other idiot gave him hell and gave up on clobberin’ time.

The rest of NY was in bed or in a hospital getting steroids shot into my ass.

Cops are never sent to protect lives. Their job is to protect property and defend the status quo, hence are violent in their very nature.

I have no ideas, only obsessions. Anybody can have ideas. Ideas have never caused anybody’s downfall.

Distort #44. Interviews and conversations: DRIBBLE/GUTTER GODS: “When you go that far with psychedelics, you find that your ego could be this protective mechanism to ensure we stay conscious.” JON ROFFE: “The problem is that thinking itself has a kind of affinity with death. There are no intrinsic limits to it.” HTRK: “I have got that at the forefront when I am writing; I am trying to give young girls another option of realism.” CONSTANT MONGREL: “pro trend” JOCK CLUB: “Playing this kind of music is about paying attention to the history of the music, but at the same time paving new ground for it to prosper.” LOKE RAHBEK: “If this is what the future is going to be like, it’s really not that bad.” RAY BRASSIER: “The percentage of material published on philosophy blogs that would stand up to serious critical scrutiny is, at best, minuscule, so the claim made by SR’s online enthusiasts that blogs are “revolutionizing” philosophy is more than a little silly.” Cover design by James Vinciguerra, also features art and photography by Zephyr Pavey, Loke Rahbek, Ray Brassier, Matthew Bellosi and Ruby Ray.

What’s this war in the heart of nature? Why does nature vie with itself?

Cormac McCarthy - Louisville, 1967

Oppression is particularly pleasant for those who make their profession from conceiving its rationality, who in no way have to experience it in their bodies, but who, their windows firmly closed to the cries of torture and revolt, decipher the rose of reason in the cross of tortured bodies. Everywhere below that there is oppression, there is resistance.

A political tendency, however revolutionary it may seem, has a counterrevolutionary function as long as the writer feels [thier] solidarity with the proletariat only in [their] attitudes, but not as a producer.
