Random pop.

Songs like "Tubthumping" by "Chubawamba" remind us all that no one gets pissed off like the British working class. And that's just a fact.

The truth is that art has less to do with thought and more to do with libido. That's the energy everyone's always talking about.

But ever since manufacturing hits became a science the libidinal effort is no longer necessary.  Unfortunately, no matter what you do, if it's not put in at the front of the equation, it's not there at the end of the equation. That's why pop songs these days have a very predictable shelf -life.

But it's also why things explode with popularity from the most unlikely places. Something new must be coming.

My friend says that this is what it was like in the 1850's & 1860's, that's why everything good is underground. I would trust him. If you knew him, you'd be able to tell that he knows because he was probably there.
