The word vapid comes to mind, a word i have heard three times in the past 24 hours (and not just in my own head). but rather than being simply lifeless, i would say that the parties lack any reason for why one should attend. this was violently proven to me just the other night when i visited the thick party. luke johnstone played at the very first thick, and played an amazing set of atmospherically textured and acid-jazz-inspired electronic music. the feelings it evoked were similar to shrooms, except i was very much sober that night. so i had high expectations going to this past sunday's party, only to find the same music as is played everywhere else. there was one illuminating moment when he transitioned with an inspired sound loop from some sort of industrial artist, but that sort of talented referencing and broadening of our musical ears quickly faded into stuffing my ears with yet another mindless top forty song.<BR/><BR/>i think the party-going public deserves something better, something more creative. or how about just something ELSE. i dont care if its industrial, or country, or rap, or jazz, or classical. i really dont care. it just has to connect my ears with my head. and there's a lot of music available today that does just that. i seriously hope someone with talent, verve, and vision can host a real party with real music. yeah.<BR/><BR/>secondly, thanks for sharing your adventure with an alphanumeric. i have been trying to get my hands on that, and other similarly named substances, for awhile. so i know it's hard to come by. too bad the circumstances were not optimal, but your trip report matches what i've heard and read from others. i dunno about you, but I and my friends have decided to cut back only to the stuff that looks like the color it was intended to be. (um, in other words powders and wafers and veggies and herbs.) but if i ever get a chance, i'll definitely make room for the family of 2s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
