Le Epic Choons

I was asking about Gus. Shiels said the issue is that Gus don't have a soul.

 

[luka]

So he's sort of reptilian?

 

[luka]

I think this is what is behind his very unnerving presence and manner

 

[craner]

Everybody has a soul

 

[luka]

There's no feeling dimension in him. There's nothing that responds to emotion and touch. Burroughs called it the all American de-anxietised man

 

[luka]

We have to do tests and experiments on him

 

[luka]

Everybody has a soul

Americans don't. It's because they are mass produced maybe? Like coca-cola?

I don't know if you are asking me about Kanye or Suspended.

All I know is that if Kanye was on Dissensus, I'm sure he would have started a thread called 'Kanye's Thread'

That's because I'm not as popular as you Craner, I don't have people making threads for me like "Things Craner will love." I have to be my own ambassador in this world

 

[luka]

Do you think this is epic Gus? I feel like epic is linked to psychic health personally

 

[luka]

Hope, resilience, self-belief, determination

Not remotely, it's too happy, you need melodrama, PATHOS, I said that already

 

[luka]

Feeling equal to the world.

 

[sus]

Sentimentality, it's all oozing out, you feel so much

 

[luka]

Ah, I see you're talking about melodrama, we have a thread about that. Corpsey started it.

 

[sus]

Hope, resilience, self-belief, determination

No no no you have it all mixed up, maybe there's a gritty form, but casual optimism, no, there needs to be a wall of sound, and the sound needs to WATERFALL it needs to flow and crash, and you're on the falls in a little barrel reveling at the sights just before you're smashed into oblivion

the DRAMATIC

My friend just sent me this Got me thinking about a quality of modern pop music that I don't think there was so much of in the past - I'll now struggle to describe it but it would include qualities like "darkness" atmospherics filtered chords, hinting at barely suppressed emotions...

SOARING

PATHOS

IT'S ALL TOO MUCH

THIS IS MY WORLD

PUMP YRSELF UP

 

[luka]

Yes, melodrama, I understand you now and I can see why you have conflated all these disparate things, I totally get it. Corpsey did a thread about it.

I'm so sick and tired of this guy, always has to be above things, always has to act like it's figured out, pigeonholing, classic control techniques, classic attempt to tame the unbridled chaos of the world
