Stanlow Crickets – "Navigation Of Loplop" (Sound Of Pig – SOP #144) 1988




This bloke called Philip Seifert is responsible for this ,undoubtedly with the assistance of Al Margolis one would assume,it being on his Sound Of Pig cassette label.
Kerazzy musique concréte,with liberal use of a second hand emulator to blind the less informed with yesterdays science.
Yeah it gets on yer Tits,but somebody out there who was locked in a cupboard for their early adulthood will find this very novel indeed.
Its certainly fun to listen to the cutting edge of low budget sound technology in 1988,especially by persons who were thankfully clueless as to what those charming,....and this part is satirical,so don't cancel me,.... coloured gentlemen,... were doing with the same kit in Chicago and Detroit at the same time.....ie, stuff like this with a marching beat and a lot of electronic squelching noises stuffed in there....("Acid House is two minutes and 30 seconds of squelching noises" said an anonymous wag in 1988,rather like John Lydon's description of the sex act a decade earlier?...ok,rumbled....it was me wot said it,about five minutes ago!Ok?
As I notice that Jeremy Clarkson got cancelled by Jeff Bozos this morning for saying this very Die Or Diy observation on the subject of the lovely Megan Markle....i will repeat:
"At night, I'm unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, 'Shame!' and throw lumps of excrement at her." ....couldn't have possibly put it better myself.
The axe is being wielded for offense givers such as we and he,as one heads in a runaway bus towards the dull and sinister world of terminal fucking boredom during the horrors of the oncoming 'Nice' revolution....the exact opposite of Skullflowers superb "Exquisite Fucking Boredom" album (up next),but something more akin to "La Terreur" after the first bit of the French Revolution;except in that terror, you could still make a joke and survive.
Yes i did say 'Charming Coloured Gentlemen'...soon to be a capital offence punishable by forcing this smart arse to clean out the latrines of the Re-education centers that were once our homes.My father did the same thing during his incarceration by the Nazi's in World War 2, cleaning out the 'twenty holer',as he put it, latrine in the POW Camp.
The old newspeak word 'Degenerate' will be replaced with the Nadsat friendly term,'Offensive' in the realms of art and entertainment.
But at least the Nazi's oganized sn exhibition before they burnt it.Hide your hard-drives in a lead lined box before the "Great Erasure"....no,not the pop duo, the satellite Erasure beam that will cleanse the earth of anything Offensive.The Year Zero of Nice.

"Loplop" makes me think there's some Max Ernst connection?

No tears here for Jeremy Clarkson (or Skullflower). Clarkson's hardly scrubbing toilets in a POW camp. He probably doesn't even wipe his own ass. Just an old boor who got deplatformed for being hateful.

Clarkson meant it metaphorically, really. Naked without the protections of Oprah et. al.
Everyone wants to see her naked! One of the most searched things out there, Many deepfakes of her, too.
Also, "coloured", while out-of-date maybe, was never meant as pejorative. As in the USA's still extant N.A.A.C.P., The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The very name of which, indicates when it was formed, that was not a negative.
The same with the USA's United Negro College Fund. Still in existence today, and at the time it was named, that was clearly not an insulting term. These are both black-run organizations and have always done important work.

"We're all coloured, or you wouldn't be able to see anyone." (Don Van Vliet 1970-ish.

Back in the early 70s we white majority children were mildly castigated if we referred to a black kid as 'black' and told to use the more "polite" term 'coloured', but oftentimes 'politeness' can be cloying and patronising, in this case 'coloured' conjuring up crude 'production-line' imagery...or something...i dunno, anyway further down the line black people/poc themselves decided they were happier with a more literal "black/brown" which made perfect sense to the rest of us. The end. Doesn't mean your satirical use didn't put a grin on my face though Jonny :D
Clarkson can definitely fuck off mind.

Jonny Zchivago said...

Nah...i think Clarkson is a fine writer...shit human being, but i like his literal style,as should be obvious.
In my youth,on my council estate, there were no/zero people of colour,except for the doctor,who was Indian/Pakistani,ans lived in the largest mansion on the estate...which we called the 'Paki House'....this was in Leicester,which now has a population that is 52% Asian 48% White and Black. In my class at grammer school, there was one asian kid...and even worse No Girls!? I therefore still have difficulty relating to non-whites and women!Is that my fault?...i think fucking NOT!
