Date: December 22nd, 2012 7:29 PM Author: Multi-colored pontificating station not in the least. i forget things i've read before all the time.
but i do have a good mental chronology of when i remember things having happened. so that helps track stuff down, because i can cross-reference something i sort of remember with a specific period of time. like i'm pretty good at remembering if i first heard of something in 2002 as opposed to 2004, and the season. |

Date: December 22nd, 2012 7:43 PM Author: Multi-colored pontificating station the general slowness of progress relative to expectations even from just 15 years ago.
oh, there was so much fucking hope back then. oil would never again rise above $15/barrel because of all the shit we'd be suckling out of the caspian sea basin.
genomics would start curing diseases within a decade. the internet - which had gone from gopher servers and simple text sites in the early 90's to tricky java applets and free webmail by '97 - would become EXPONENTIALLY faster, and within a decade, we'd have high-def 3D real-time web holography. a hooker in russia could handjob you across the world from her apartment.
the new web economy would render us so prosperous that the west would basically become a leisure colony, with third-worlders able to do whichever trivial labors remained for (from their point of view) outstanding pay.
this didn't really happen, i don't think. and hence, we don't have the nostalgia we thought we'd have. 80's/90's nostalgia ought to have been a sort of "my, how far have we come!" fond retrospective, like a man who used to live in a valley now able to overlook it from his hillside mansion.
instead, when we look back, there is actually a sense of LOSS. loss of what our future should have been. and that's much more painful. so when i post 80's songs, what i'd really like to do is cocoon our modern reality inside of our prelapsarian hopes.

i wonder what are some of the best books from the 80s/90s that predicted this kind of bright future. the kind of predictions that would make us howl with laughter now.

Date: December 30th, 2012 12:17 AM Author: Carnelian native the 80s produced a lot of great music.
i think thurston moore or someone said that the 80s are counterintuitively arguably the richest decade of all time for music. there was so much going on in so many different areas. and much of it was truly original, before the self-referencing/cannibalizing/sampling/ironic-rehashing tendencies of the 90s/2000s set in. |
|
Date: December 30th, 2012 10:49 PM Author: Multi-colored pontificating station i would say that the period from 1977 to 1988 or so was explosive in terms of the evolution of pop music, and that most of what has happened since then has been rehashings or reworkings of styles already invented by that point in time.

Date: January 13th, 2017 10:04 PM Author: hyperventilating supple senate foreskin that Michael Cretu video/song is 80s overload. lol @ a guy who looks like that having any kind of "pop music" career in 2017. he has that classic "24 going on 46" boomer rock musician look. unlike today's stars, who all look pubescent into middle age (Justin Timberlake, etc). and white people's 80s "japanese" fetishism is still hard to understand, even in hindsight. |
|
Date: January 13th, 2017 10:50 PM Author: Multi-colored pontificating station he looks like david koresh. it's interesting how the whole "cult of youth" thing overtook pop, but didn't have the same effect on other genres like country, where it was still acceptable to look a bit older/burlier/etc. except to the extent that it BECOMES pop.
i think japan represented what looked like a workable alternative model to the western/eastern bloc split of the cold war era. japan was capitalist, but it was mostly just "japanese," which provided a lot of fascination.
wang chung's first single from 1980 was called "rising in the east," which was somewhat concerned with china, but 80's china was simply too poor and backward and inaccessible for japan-style fetishism.
i also suspect that the video game/nintendo revolution had a lot to do with the japan obsession, along with dubbed anime films like nausicaa. it was a comprehensive alternative model to western culture that was nonetheless modern and translatable into western terms. |

|
Date: March 3rd, 2017 9:31 PM Author: hyperventilating supple senate foreskin what's interesting about the 80s is that it was the last decade in which things -- culturally -- really changed *radically* from beginning to end. and since the end of the 80s, things kind of haven't changed much at all or change gradually. i see kids every day who look like they might have been in HS in 1994. same clothes, same band t-shirts, same haircuts, etc. that Thinking Plague song sounds like it could have been released this year. but the song from 1981 definitely sounds of its era. |
