Orb Moments
by -> rachel 21 Apr '03

21 Apr '03

[this is such a geeky thread - i love it more than i'm prepared to admit!] ok, so i wasn't stabbed in the neck or anything as dramatic as that, but i was living in England in the early 90s, and my pal whipped out the Patterns and Textures video while we were tripping at his house - i've been in love with Perpetual Dawn ever since! (that bass and funny/creepy laugh - who can resist it?) some time later, i went to the shops and managed to get the two disc UF Orb by mere fluke (i wasn't as obsessive as i am now, and thought the cover art looked good) and proceeded to play it for just about everyone i knew (and then some). my excitement over the music quickly developed into an insatiable passion! my first live Orb experience was actually in Japan (osaka) at this tiny club in maybe 93? i was studying abroad there, and grabbed an English language paper for some relief, only to discover the orb was playing *that night* for the bargain price of the equivalent of $50 (US)! after negotiating everything with my host family (no easy task - how the hell do you say "my absolute favourite band in the whole world is playing here tonight, and i know its tuesday and i haven't done my homework, but i *have* to go!!" in japanese?!?) i took a Japanese friend to this tiny place for a fantastic show (i guess supporting the Tong Poo/Technodon releases, as i picked those up a few days later). it opened and closed with DJ Lewis, so the boyz could come out and dance after their set! i was pretty much the only non-Japanese person there, so i went up and had a rather inane conversation with Andy (still in his long-haired days - thrash'll have a go at me for mentioning that, i'm sure) who was incredibly nice and we both basically talked about how much we enjoyed the show - him playing, me listening/dancing. i've been to maybe 6 or 7 live Orb gigs, and that was the only one i did sober, and it was incredible nonetheless. though i think my fave show was the last one here in SF on the last tour - i swear, Perpetual Dawn went on *forever*... (the sound system was amazing and Simon on the live bass is such a treat! that more than compensated for the Coachella disaster that followed) whatever happened to DJ Lewis, anyways? =) rachel ------------------------------------ Rachel's Orb Discography http://www.migoto.com/orb

OT My niggers...
by Alan 21 Apr '03

21 Apr '03

>(*#&%(*#&(^%*& What!? You have it ass-backwards. It wasn't the PC people >that made nigger anything other than a meaningless descriptive! It was a >racial slur LONG before the advent of the political correctness movement. >That's where its pejorative value came from... Actually "nigger" was originally equal to "negroe" but simply a rural pronounciation of it. I didn't actually expect anyone to call me on it, though. You are right that it became a pejorative well before the modern p.c. movement but not really until the Civil Rights movement and the introduction of television news film of big mouthed southern politicians did it move from being the equivalent of "African American" for the vast majority of Americans to being the representation of piggish and hateful ignorance. Funny that it should then have been adopted by the hip-hop generation as a term of endearment. Personally I only call my close friends "m'nigger." Yo yo yo... Ok, I *rarely* do that. >>At this point >>in time "black" has somehow become a "bad word." >I dont think it has. Many people take pride, or at least wont take any >offense, in being called 'black.' Yeah, right. You mustn't've spent much time around black militant assholes that finally managed to read a biography of Malcolm X and are offended by ANYTHING a white man says. "Don't call me BLACK! I'm an 'African American." Fucking nonsense. It's just another way to keep a barrier between him and me so that the "haves" can keep us under control. Of course "black" is nowhere near as "bad" as "nigger" but it raises the hackles of many a stupid moron. The thing is that it really isn't the "haves and have nots." Most Americans are "have somes" or "have a lot more than they need" but it's just distractions. The television has told them that they need to buy a bunch of stupid shit to be happy: Nikes, Big Macs, and Ford Expeditions. It has also made sure that books, art, and leisure are not part of their desires. We are a nation of fat, lazy, ignorant, shallow, slugs and we deserve to crawl into the beer trap set out by the cohorts of Bush & Co. I saw a great picture today of a little kid in Bolivia carrying a trash bag three times his or her size full of plastic cups. The child was obviously scavenging in a dump and the caption read "Bolivian child takes part in globalization of labor." I've also seen pictures of a five year old working in a "computer recycling center" in China, dipping circuit boards in a bucket of solvent with his bare hands just to extract a tiny amount of gold. Most of those children die before they become teenagers. Yep, that's the kind of labor that makes Bush & Co jump for joy because it drives down wages here in the States. Only a matter of time until we're all pounding our Nike logo clothes in our shit filled rivers and hoping we can find some animal run over by a huge, armored SUV so we can eat something other than corn for supper. If only we "have just enoughs" could join up with the "have nots" but we can't because they're "African American" and we're not. www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead.

Before Island re-released the U.F.Orb album, big life issued a limited edition copy which contained a 40 minute blue room cd along with the album itself in one single jewel case. I have one, and I got it signed by lx last time I saw him DJ.

SWM 37 seeks S/DF 18-37 (you single, Rachel?) It's odd that most people that answered this so far have been around 30. I guess most old farts like me just don't understand a computer and/or they have families... other than a dog and a cat. I'm in Louisville KY which is nowhere near any of you knobs.

OT niggers
by Alan 21 Apr '03

21 Apr '03

"And while the niggers of the world are starving with their mouths wide open! What is it that turns the coins we throw at them into worthless little tokens? Why is it, that anything on this Earth we do not understand, We are pushed onto our knees to worship or to damn?" --The The "The Violence of Truth" In many ways the ultrawealthy are changing us all into "the niggers of the world." That article "Divisions Deep Over Claims Of Jewish Influence" (at http://tbrnews.org) was pretty supportive (in a forced neutral manner) of anti-Semitic bullshit. The word "nigger" would be a meaningless descriptive if it hadn't been so demonized by the PC crowd and allowed the ignorant who use it as a pejorative a reason to further increase its negative power. At this point in time "black" has somehow become a "bad word." I think the problem is that people (including you, Thrash) feel it necessary to separate people into Jews, Niggers, Spics, Towelheads, Mudpeople, Democrats, Republicans, Tories, Gypsies... instead of realizing there are only two kinds of people: The powerful and the powerless. One's state may change moment to moment (your unshaven neighbor is the powerful when he beats his wife but he is the powerless when he takes his paycheck from his boss's fat fingers, and his boss is powerful at work but powerless when he tries to get a small loan to expand his business while the banker is powerful unless he is dealing with a corporate CEO that can basically tell him to stand on his head and eat shit if he wants) but as individuals we are nothing under the heels of the superwealthy. As long as you allow yourselves to be divided into small competing groups you loose. When you point a finger at "Jews" you get ground beneath a bulldozer, when you point a finger at the World Bank you get thrown out of a helicopter, when you point your finger at NAFTA and the Whitehouse you become a "suspect" and suddenly your career is fucked and the instant you break any law you're nailed. In the US the least powerful don't need to worry since they so rarely can think independently enough to drag their fat ass from the couch to the car to McDonald's and back that the chances of them actually rising up against injustice is non-existent. Religion may be the opiate of the masses but television is the morphine of the massive Americans. Fight the power! http://www.disinfotainmenttoday.com/ http://www.connectlive.com/npc/ (Watch the Tim Robbins piece all the way through. Someone posted the transcript of him speaking but the questions at the end are as powerful as the rest. Of course Clear Channel and the major TV networks didn't broadcast a word of this. Only on C-Span). www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat. "Dissent is what rescues democracy from a slow death behind closed doors." -Lewis H. Lapham
