Hurting Me (Self-Harm) by Jeremy Gluck – Paperback Mix  by  Jeremy Gluck Continue reading →

I want to continue to burn I want to continue to destroy I want to continue anger I want to continue pain I want to continue to burn I want more confusion I want to fulfil my purpose Until I find out what it is I want not to respect you I want to continue to burn I want to continue resent I can not remember I’m a mystery for the impoverished, aspirant pig Will you join me in this slag? Put your head inside my container It’s a washing machine that makes you dirty I never said it would fit It’s comfortable I just said it would kill you before death I want to continue to burn We have nothing to fear, but fear of myself Oh, we will see some sights Stars made of blood A planet where all they eat is dust It reminds us of us Blood, blood, blood A feast, an epiphany In our veins, in our brains We call it unity, all so human all the same Killing each other we find ourselves I want to continue to burn There’s no need to hide from me I’ll never find you You don’t know where you are And I don’t care anymore when you find me I’m here, I’m gone, I’m here, I’m gone I want to continue to burn You question me to discover my motives Why would I need a reason for hurting or hating you? It’s good enough that I’m alive and able to Breathing, beating, it’s the same thing By the time we’ve grown into saints The parking lots will all have frozen over I want to continue to burn I want to continue to destroy I want to continue anger I want to continue pain I want more confusion I want not to respect you I want to continue resent I cannot remember But I want to continue to burn I want to continue to burn I want to continue to burn I want to continue I want to continue I want to I want to I want to I want I want I want I I am here, I am gone I am here, I am gone Continue reading →

Frankly, I’m stacked . (No, I don’t mean the sex change money came through.) But spuriously, the action these days at Casa del Gluck is easy. As in “fast”. Like shit outa goose. The biggest news, which for a week has made my day, is that my new and why be shy it’s the best thing I’ve done spiel The Carbon Manual (from a poem of mine, the name, meaning: a perso n)is gonna have its debut EP on Marty Thau ‘s reborn Red Star Records . Now, to some of you, steeped perhaops in igonorance or denial, this means little. But to me, who as a tender late teen tied the knot with the 12″ incarnation of Suicide’s ” Cheree ” on the label, it’s like being reborn myself. Being on the selfsame label as Suicide has brought me back to life; as Marc Jeffrey put it, ” ironic “. And nervous as Alanis Morrissette lyric chunks make me, I hafta agree. At a date as yet unspecified, the EP will be released, perhaps augmented by some of the magnificent remixes my mania for the things has generated. I tells ya, remixes is like rain. Just wait around and down it come. So far – and it’s early, busy days – remixes have arrived from Brendon Moeller (whose forthcoming own EP on his new label Steadfast features one track better than about anything I’ve heard this year, kinda Kraftwerk in a wind tunnel just coming down offa acid while watching Tarkovsky); Amurgit , a shadowy figure whose high precision tech-nique is hard to define; Paperback , with epic takes that are so minimal they’re not; Dragging the Mule, Toronto industrial vets; and UK experimentalist Jay Purcell . But, no, that ain’t enough! Along with the digital and the remixes, The Carbon Manual will release their first group of songs of apiece on Equation Records Esteemed underground deluxe vinyl vendor. This will be an album for all the family, especially those with personality disorders, marginal autism and potential bipolar spectrum symptoms, as the tracks lull and lurch, climbing invisible mountains of sound for you to climb, then only to tunnel under them, thus causing their collapse and yours with them. Featuring lyrics, luxury packaging, hand-crafted personal touches and a sound rendered an epiphany in 24 bits, this vinyl keepsake will last a lifetime and be a proud picking for any vulture to an eventual will.

I saw it again like “I Saw Here Standing There” on my little record player my brother bequeathed me when he moved up to low-price hi-fi. He gave me a few albums (was I six, seven or eight? older?) and the best of them was the Canadian Capitol pressing of ” Twist and Shout “, with the rainbow label. I saw myself sitting there in the corner of my little room, playing that record. I loved that album and the picture of The Beatles on – off – that wall. I knew every song by heart. I loved “Chains” especially. It was the first rock’n'roll album I fell in love with. Continue reading →

For me, with their bleeding Red Star aesthetic and a sound that came from an inner space so far out that it still sounds ahead of its time over thirty years later, Suicide proved to be The Beatles of electronic … Continue reading →

Prompted by Brother Barney‘s memory of approval from Bono of his review of “Pop” by U2, I want to ask with plaintive and honest enquiry: What do people see in this band, our own scribble frat/sorority included. I have tried … Continue reading →
