Sunday afternoon is here. Soon the grind begins again. By this time tomorrow I will be part of the way thru my work day and dreading my existence. I will end my night in the bowels of the city at a recording studio making the exact opposite of what I have heard here. I can't help but feel we have gone so far full circle, from one person with an instrument to this soulless bleep blop gobbledygook, that there may be no return. To me, hearing this crap is worse than when I was about 3 or 4 and my cousin told me there was no Santa. I am disillusioned and depressed by it. And there's only one man I can hold responsible for this.. Brian Eno!

Perhaps you think I'm joshin you with this but it's the God's honest truth! Y'see, this Eno fella was in a great band by the name of ROXY MUSIC for a couple of great albums. He got shitcanned when Ferry got all bummed about his getting more press than Ferry and, well, it was Ferry's band technically. He went on to make some interesting albums and then got into very minimalist stuff that was intentionally meant to be background music. Some of it was interesting but it was meant to be experimental. Years and years have gone by and who knows what happened to Eno. Could be dead, could be off gallivanting the northern forests of whatever. Who knows? The guy looked like the butler from "Rocky Horror" anyways. There's a dude from Detroit that looks like him to the point that it freaks me out. Seriously, weirds me out. Not because he's weird, rather nice guy, but I always think Brian Eno is there in my drunken haze. Taunting me with the threat of ruining music for all of us by giving pricks like OREN AMBARCHI the idea that less is more (less is bore). Don't even get me started on the pretentious douches who like this stuff. I don't mean think it's cool but the types that will listen to this and go on and on about it like it's a modern marvel.

I really do like quite a bit of what Southern Lord puts out but this just perplexes me and leaves me wondering. Perhaps someone should cut those folks off from their drug supplies and get them back to reality. And just what the fuck is with me and drugs? I haven't been high in so long that the sludge that most likely passes for my blood is probably nice and clean. Go ahead and drug test me. Seriously. Bottom line, I turned off RUDY RAY MOORE for this?
