We humans are a bunch of animals, and the “artificial” music of Kraftwerk and Gorillaz comes from nature just as much as Delta blues.

I dunno… I have trouble with that. You know I loves my Krautrock, and the Gorillaz are still fresh, but “nature” is exactly what I don’t hear in them. They’re all about industrial civilization to me (in a good way). Kind of reminds me of when I was taking a Pranayama yoga class and we were meditating and the cars were rushing by outside and I asked the guru how we could achieve peace in the middle of the city. He gave me a similar line about how it’s all nature. If we can consider the sound of rushing cars as nature, then I feel like we’re destined to lose our roots.

For those of us who emerged from the Zeroes with our attention spans twittered into submission,

Twitter may have shortened my attention span even farther (as if that were even possible), but it’s also vastly widened it.

Looking at the poster frame of the QTV video, imaging I could paint one of her eyeballs green and she’d be David Bowie’s blazer-wearing sister.

Great piece Roger.

Someday I still hope to draw a crooked line from Nico to Neko.
