  • Never Re-enact the Sleight

    Junky marks fiending for their next astonishment fix – reality a banal husk without that sweet frisson of the impossible injected straight into their vapid cerebral veins. Illusionists carters of a paradox narcotic more addictive than horse, hovering on that razor edge where certainty splinters apart into horrific/ecstatic chimerae. Watching junkies ride convulsive K-waves as…

  • Buying the Dip

    Writing music right now is buying the zeitgeist dip. Well, sir, this whole music business? It’s a greasy spoon on a heartbreak highway. It’s like peddlin’ snake oil down at a carnival fire. You gotta hawk your wares while the rubes are rubin’ their eyes clear of smoke and wonderin’ if that bearded lady really…

  • Hype as Lacanian Object-Petit a

Rows of young agents, faces flickering in the harsh glare, droned into their headsets, their voices a monotonous chorus of up-sell and forced cheer. But beneath the surface, a darker current pulsed. Their eyes, glazed with a reptilian sheen, held the glint…

  • Intruder

    Peter Gabriel’s Downward Spiral vs NIN’s Melt Crawl through the vinyl static, man. A cracked needle on a scratched disc of perception. Peter Gabriel’s “Melt” bleeds into your brain – a digital serpent coiling around your auditory cortex. This ain’t no Genesis fairytale.

  • Hyper Commodified Cocaine Capitalism

    It was late in the day, the kind of slow burn when the sun’s last embers are dragged across the sky, and I could almost taste the madness seeping from the cracks in the streets. A fleeting vision crossed my mind: the corporate vultures circling the airwaves, their silver tongues sharp as needles, as they…

Advertising helps businesses to build brand awareness, reach new customers, and communicate the benefits of their products or…

  • Why Nothing Works

    Capitalism is an economic system that is primarily driven by profit motives and market competition.
