horsemouth the utterly knackered

horsemouth is utterly knackered having been to see triple negative and pious faults on a weeknight (bad horsemouth). he didn’t drink very much (so he says) because it was a weeknight (plus it was expensive beer at the venue - so that would have been doubly foolish).

horsemouth as you know is a very sensible mule (apart from the bit where he pretends to be a human being).
and here he is. in a library in the middle of the afternoon having traveled and worked early ( that ate most of his gumption - hail coffee, hail paracetamol). in a bit he works again. then he will crawl home (utterly, utterly knackered) and repeat the work and travel part of the equation thursday and friday. thereafter he will rest and reproduce his labour value until called upon to labour again. why do only fools and horses work.

ok - review the gig horsemouth.

triple negative - apparently if they added another member it would be quadruple negative (so it's not based on some complicated adorno thing like horsemouth assumed). contact mics - hmmm they can be tricky. despite the biblical floods and train derailments matthew seemed in almost cheerful mood. they soundchecked without anya - then anya came and soundchecked (straight from work) and then they played. at the end of his set matthew stomped off into the distance (for some reason) but then returned (by some magical means). various things happened and the gig seemed to go well.

pious faults were youngsters (and aussies allegedly). try to imagine indie re-imagined by black metal followers (but still dressed in indie clothes). at the soundcheck they’d done a bit of howling, a bit of droning, and then did a number that firehose could have done. so horsemouth was a little surprised. the drummer - mr.silk transparent shirt - horsemouth thought was particularly good, the singer went for it (and he bears a slight resemblence to the banjo playing kid in deliverance). it was sheer unredemed emotional excess - romanticism gone mad.

in comparison the the negative excess of triple negative is because the world (as is) is terrible - only its utter destruction could possibly produce a positive moment (and then only possibly) - the horror is justified (horsemouth argues the closest thing to it is in fact crass).
