Skullflower – "Exquisite Fucking Boredom" (tUMULt – TM212) 2003


Any of you cool kids out there like a bit of boredom going on? 
As previously mentioned,in the Stanlow Crickets post, the Great Erasure is coming,like a huge electro magnet realigning your digital media into straight lines of zero's.Comedians and social commentators will be silenced, vetted and vetted again for controversial comments and opinions,Popular music will be obsessed with the easy get out clause of the Love Emotion,and how cruel un-chemically castrated males were before the new potential rapist law made sure that Toxic masculinity was neutralised by regular Brain scans and testosterone checks.I don't wanna offend nobody cats,but i reserve the right to be offended,and to offend ,and challenge tabboos.It is this that makes one "Free".
So here's the rather fantastic Drone Psych Noise Skullflower group,playing the same riff for 60 minutes;and it hasn't gone unnoticed that they have used my favourite Dr Rhythm DR110 drum machine for the dour four four beat that accentuates the exquisite fucking boredom very nicely indeed. Like that Joni Mitchell song says,one needs to look at life from both sides,or you really won't know life...at all?

Tracklist:

1 Celestial Highway I 12:39
2 Celestial Highway II 13:48
3 Celestial Highway III 14:35
4 Saturn 9:53
5 Return To Forever  9:18
6 Celestial Highway IV 12:33

'Male toxicity' the new buzzword for vacant arseholes doing Langley's work, confuse the sexes, split the races, keep 'em scared and they won't look at the elite who have 99% of the world's worth, who own all the major companies, including the media and big pharma. Male toxicity doesn't even exist, like virii, another project to make people distrustful of each other, depressed and repressed, lonely, and what do those people do? They spend money on junk food, tablets, knickknacks, etc..
What with vaccine poisoning* and both sexes fearing each other, the birthrates are getting lower in the western world and Japan, S. korea, while we're being swamped with turd world rats fleeing from their shitty ships and causing more distrust, hatred and resentment.

*No virus has EVER been isolated, covid has NO unique symptoms, coronavirus is another term for the common cold.

I'm bored
I'm the chairman of the bored
Just another dirty bore
All right doll-face
Come on and bore me...

At your service

Some seriously brilliant engineering went into the DR-110. The sounds, of course, any re... any fuckwit can program a sequencer onto a microcontroller. It's literally the first thing you do with embedded programming. (not really, but close to.) But the staggered triggers on the clap sound, the fusion of filtered noise and four pitches--and three separate triggered stages!--for the cymbals, etc. Everyone else copied it, of course, and honestly Boss/Roland never reached the heights they did with the DR-110: the 707,808, 909--all kinda shit, frankly.

That said, Skullflower's great.

Great recording. Can be a mixed blessing watching them live ... sometimes an aggressive why the fk have you made us come here to play this for you ... in an unrewarding way for all concerned.

Matt Bower is also an evangelical Brexit shitpump ... at least he was when he thought that the sides of buses spoke truth to power. I would imagine he still is tho but these days just seeks wisdom from the back of a Megabus, maybe even a bin lorry. Who knows?

What work of creativity is not, in fact, a skullflower? And yet, wouldn't this name
probably offend the gently-reared gals at their quaint brunch? Men's only real problem, it seems, is that they aren't women. Well, most aren't.

Oh dear, how soothing that is! thanx a lot!

aural tetrazepam for the old whyte anonymus's no. 2's burden of life caused by the changes of the general notion 'bout wot is aesthetically and morally right or wrong, cool or uncool, or wot is only just acceptable for the erasing algorithm...

pissing against the wind was so much easier (and - btw - so much more fun) when the wind that blew was generated from a conservative mainstream generator.

how prophetic Huxley and Biafra were (zen fascists will control u, 100 percent natural....).

ah fuck, our hate hating youth doesn't even seem 2 see how perilous the current Zeitgeist is for the freedom of art, expression, and an open society, well, for almost everything which makes (or made?) this world a joyful place 2 b, hugh,

This rocks. Who cares about the artist? The art can't hurt you.
