I feel a bit guilty for leading the previous post with a picture of his mother (bitch, it's yo mama). I'll get over it in time.
I've got to admit that the entire John Zewizz schtick has never entertained me for long. I just found the persona tiresome. It had already been done but was portrayed as unique. It wasn't and isn't. It's just my opinion ... there is part of one of the interviews where someone (maybe him) says something like people don't like him because you are either with him or with Broken Flag. It's really not binary but there may be a point hiding in there somewhere. So, yeah the actual point. Jonathan Briley was in Sleep Chamber and yeah i've got some but never really bothered (actually) listening. Within the last month, Diophantine Discs realeased a seven disc retrospective of the work of Jonathan Briley ... it's really really good. It sent me back to this tape, which is also really good. Ivor Cutler said the true happiness is knowiing that you are a hypocrite. I'm truly happy in my skin.

Always thought Sleep Chamber (and associated artists) was lame. A late coming noise poseur/marketer to the uninformed listeners without taste (or music newbies).......
ReplyDeleteDon't disagree with any of that, I'm just starting to figure out that they are not as bad as I always thought. Granted, that's not a high bar to clear.
ReplyDeleteThere is no dignified way to say this, but I enjoy his Women of the SS stuff very much. The conceit is beyond corny, the art and german accents about 6 years too late, yet I JUST LOVE it. I saw a quote by him that summed up that stuff efficiently , but I've forgotten what it was.
ReplyDeleteY'know, that comment was going so well until you forgot to fin
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out about the Briley set. It will be nice having them at consistent quality.
