Right? I’m pretty sure that I am neither new nor exciting (well for the sake of the argument) in any case I am not new.
Always new “out-of-the-box”, but no I am not new. Interesting to see what upsets “people” these days. It reminds my of worried comments in the late eighties.
– “Are you sure that you will be safe walking out the door dressed liked that?”
– “Yes, we are sure, don’t worry there will be no problem. We’re just going in to the city for a “fika”.
Yes, we were fine in shorts, boots, oversized jackets including lacer belt, scarfs, various chains and ornaments and shirt or super-wide pants and the shiny shoes that you could not ever imagine (lacquered) or two tone brogues. Wearing your girl friends suit/jacket if it fitted you for the night?
Do you think we miss Prince and the Paisley Park days just a bit? Do you think that the “Gender” talk makes us a bit sleepy? See. It would seem that you have missed a bit of history and to be honest it does not impress (your 50’s – 1990’s porno-induced aesthetic is quite pathetic don’t you think?) all that much.
How, what gives you the right to say anything? Well, I lived at that time and I live in a democratic country. The problems we have now did not exist then. I did wear my then girlfriend’s suit and she did borrow my clothes. I did borrow my sister’s jacket. And it looked really nice.
But then again you don’t care about anything but getting attention? And that is the first time in history?
Was it fun? Hell yes! No, I am truly sorry there are no photos (you don’t know anything about the late 1980’s, scarry is it not?). Not true, there are some photos but they are on paper and they are fading fast.
It is an extremely hard choice to make. What the hey! Why would I ever? There are so many to choose from and then (not considering the D’n’B side). This is earlier, much earlier. Is it going to be Ae or AFX? Ask me tomorrow. Laying the foundation of all European electronic music. When I heard it/this first time I thought I was going to die.
“We Are The Music Makers” – Aphex Twin
I died then. If you don’t understand? No computer power? Push like that? Impossible album. Proto-UK-bass album. The thing with AFX? He may the inventor of D’n’B, the commercial inventor. What? Listen to early AFX.
You need to listen to Detroit Techno. The origin, where it all came from. Yes, Chicago/Detroit not NYC. Unfortunately, is not an alltogether European story.
