I've had enough of this place. It's depressing. It's lost the initial interest factor why I came here first : to chat, argue and be informed about cool music (mainly).
There's no really interesting music posts anymore, it's always about bloody dull flat techno music. I read the posts then track down the music yr talking about to confirm and it's rubbish, kinda like the politics you guys all espouse, there's no link between the facts, heart and soul you all yell about. You all talk as spectators and Year12 Debate team winners.
I'm also surpised at the lack of literary and cinema threads. OK, I figger this board is predominately for left-field music fans, but the lack of intellectual imagination some of you lot have is kinda laughable, but I guess thats to be expected. Political art dates and becomes redundant the quickest.
In fact, I'll quote Cronenberg to define the malaise:
"..I do find people walk into movies now with a political agenda -- which is a strange thing to come to a movie with. But I think people are doing that more and more. It's almost a throwback to the old days, when if you were Marxist you saw everything only in Marxist terms. Because of their desire to change things that they feel are wrong, people have somehow shackled themselves nonetheless and limited their experiences. You have to be able to turn down the politics when they require to be turned down. The problem is, people seem to see it as either on or off. There seems to be no middle ground..."
