I have been feeling real philosophical of late. So much so that I
have decided to fold The Aesthetics. This decision was very personal,
will surely disappoint, but it will not be revoked. Our legend status
is now preserved indefinatley. Perhaps in the future the unit will
rear its's beautiful head again, maybe not.
All that aside [my 'letter of resignation' is available to those who
wish to read it] , I have been challenging my motivations for
performance, questioning myself as to my aesthetic intent, pondering
the socioeconomic aspects of 'involvement' in the music 'scene',
wonderin' why I feel like my heart has been forcibly removed after
each performance, thinking how to participate with a good anti-
corporate conscience, realizing that fame and fortune are perhaps
unrealistic fantasies that are ultimately useless, and am thinkin'
how to subvert and acheive recognition, the sort of recognition that
may one day generate a weekly wage that i can live on....
so i thought, fuck it, i wasn't gonna do the mp3 thing this year but
what the hell man,,,i'm never gonna get that fuckin' sony deal, the
traditional channels simply snob my ass and forever will so fuck it
i'll fuckin upload 3 free albums. You can't shut this little fucker
up. So to my group , a gift : Crude Live as a download:
http://www.mp3.com.au/album.asp?id=11376, a shortly following that, a
an mp3 reissue of 2004s 'The Mine', then, for those into dark
ambient, some film soundtrack shit.
enjoy!!!!!!!!1
