"all those animals on the extinction list - they obviously didn't deserve to make it."

ahh, the decline of western civilization one. coupled with spitz's 'we got the neutron bomb' giving me the l.a. take. hard to believe darby crash thought he was a revolutionary during the same year gang of four put out their best work. the nyc spark carried to england, carried through media to the west coast - both the birth and the realization moved on, the copy continued on. all that i think of as crappy, nihilistic and unartful in punk originates in these hollywood babies - without context, senseless and squat. strange to me that i know someone who got a black flag tattoo on their 23rd birthday.

listening to mars, another cd burned for me by my friend of infinite good taste. psychedelic post punk. if i could have a visual of that factory beat - the canned, reverby garbage behind all that stuff - that's what i'd get a tattoo of. maybe this is the unknown pleasure jd cover? dunno.

'tired of waiting' a beautiful, non-blues kinks song. one of the best of all time?
