mainstream commercial nihilism (death song)

here we have robbie basho singing his heart out. he is travelling joyfully to meet his creator. or alternatively you  could run around in corpse paint being evil and burn down a few churches. in many ways there are stylistic continuities between anarchopunk and black metal - a commitment to ugliness, shock and rage, a black and white fanzine aesthetic that disdains DTP. 

as someone who struggled with gestetners, photocopiers etc. to produce anarchist propaganda as a youngster horsemouth is horrified - why would you do that? to communicate authenticity? get  over it. 

horsemouth is (by and large) a happy bunny, ok he's sometimes grumpy when faced by an actual task. 

his third week in the wilderness begins. it's a cloudy morning (but that's ok). 

it looks like the truck may well sell - through local connections. horsemouth's dad absolutely loved the truck (it was just a great big tonka toy to him). horsemouth remembers him  driving through some floodwater up to the wheel arch (relying on the bow-wave to keep the air intake in the wheel arch clear). safely on the other side he stopped, another oldster in a truck made it through the flood water, they chatted to confirm in each other the wisdom of owning a 4by4. at that point some poor working schmuck arrived in an old estate car and had to be directed the long way round. 

yesterday sunshine. horsemouth got grumpy at one point and went for a walk on the common. a whole lot of dog-walking going on.  otherwise he mostly sat out and read. (ok he dug up a few potatoes for dinner).

in israel/ palestine bad things go on - basically horsemouth does not believe in fighting for your rights  he believes in fleeing and becoming a refugee. he realises this is not a solution but then there isn't a solution, there is just more conflict, what do you do then? one side has tanks, attack helicopters and guided missiles. the other doesn't. it reminds horsemouth of the warsaw uprising (or indeed the warsaw ghetto uprising) but he will of course denounce it as terrorism if that is what you need from him (that seems to be the overall consensus).
