After years of consuming only lo-fi recordings [...] Les Rallizes Dénudés sound spectacular, and this clarity adds another dimension to the band’s sound.

Who’d have thought the greatest band of all time might still sound phenomenal when they aren’t just recorded and mastered like total shit?

Here is a (nearly) complete collection of Re/Search books mostly on PDF.

Enjoy the Ballard. Learn about early Industrial culture. Be baffled by their attempt to cash in on the Swing trend of the early 2,000's. Be annoyed that they were partially responsible for extending Boyd Rice's career by decades. Marvel at once was and might possibly still be transgressive.

I was in Amman a long time ago, where I met an English woman in her 70s who was traveling the world for lack of anything better to do. She'd been a model in London in the 60s, owned a Mini Cooper and gone to parties with the Rolling Stones.

A decade later I was in an anarchist cafe in Istanbul and heard this song. I don't think I've ever heard anything so precise.

I should publish a book of short stories based on my travels. No more than two hundred words each chapter. Fifty chapters. Support my Patreon today.

"Drawing on Blake and Bunyan, Moore has created a fully-realised working-class mythology that is utterly contemporary and much-needed. In an era when the working classes are portrayed as hopeless victims or demonised as thugs and idiots, while all the while being urged on to greater extremes of racism and xenophobia by the popular media, Jerusalem rejects the portrayal of limited horizons and the glamorisation of poverty that Moore sees in TV shows like Shameless in favour of a work that grants dignity and profundity to life at the bottom of the economic shitheap, while also urging us to raise our sights above our immediate circumstances. We are our own final judges, our own imparters of meaning, and in amongst the dark satanic mills of our ordinary oppressed existences, we are all already living in the shining, eternal city of Jerusalem. Nothing ever ends."
