SATURDAY EVENING POST: When the power's out in the heart of man...
Three weird things this week:
Arcade Fire- "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)"
Pulp- "The Fear" (live)
The KLF- "3 am Eternal" (if you're going to be avant-garde performance art, you might as well master the skills required to actually be good at what you do. I'm not sure if the supporting mythology of the KLF is odder, or the fact that they had the level of success that they did. There is a live version of this from a British awards show, where the KLF hire out a death-metal band to cover the song, and end it by shooting machine guns filled with blanks into the audience (I was unable to find it on youtube at the moment). That's dedication to your artistic vision)
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
