reflection #1

it is clear by my profusion of opinions that i have not been very busy. in this moment when i am confronted by the pending tasks at hand, each calling out in its own unique voice, conspiring to create a masterful symphony that sing of (potential) labor, opinions are a luxury. negative critique, even of its self, requires the existence of surplus. but what is this surplus but the surplus labor of leisure, which hides its own parasitism in the guise of a languid pose or its opposite: a frenetic cleaning or arranging that nods along to the notion of "idle hands are the devil's play thing" without recognizing its ideological capacity to ensure the totality of labor.

The Spirit of Space - Sonic Assault

Oh kiddies! How we have all waited fer this day to come! And by we, i mean the four members of the now disbanded SPIRIT OF SPACE. the basic tracks were recorded in january 2009 with mr. troupe dammage of a certain band called SPEAK (www.myspace.com/hearspeakhere). despite taking way too long, in this humble bloggers opinion, the record is fucking smashing. mr. dammage did a wonderful job bringing together the structured chaos of this music, which i coined "bourgoise punk." give it a listen and tells us we suck. cause it won't matter, we broke up dummy! still...hands down the best spirit of space record of the 10 that have been recorded so far.
