yeah we are constantly hung up on this idea our generation will be the last, it is no surprise we tend to think the future is headed for oblivion

have you read any J.G. Ballard? great dystopic sci-fi that influenced a lot of early industrial artists, David Cronenberg etc.

skip the mediocre Burroughs-worship that is Ballard and go right to Burroughs

The Ticket That Exploded is so post-modern it actually stops the narration to specifically explain his early industrial recording experiments

did Burroughs ever write any hard sci-fi, though?

i'm not recommending this completely based on post-modern appeal

I believe some of his later books like Blade Runner (totally different blade runner) and Ghost of Chance are more linear science fiction

The Nova Trilogy is definitely sci-fi in a weird sort of 'going back in time and brainwashing Mayan tribes to overthrow and kill the giant centipede they worship as a god' sort of way

yeah

I want to read [I]Naked Lunch[/I] again so I can reassess my position on it

I felt the same way about as you the first time i read it

The second time I liked it, and the third time made me a believer

you really can't read a trainwreck like that once and get it

I've found that often I once didn't really read books and take effort to comprehend them I would just skim through them and blame the author if nothing interested me

No matter how much a book pissed me off the first time I've never read something twice and not appreciated it the second time

yeah well

I don't tend to read books twice cause they eat up so much time

i can't understand that position

you're talking to some one whos currently reading The Stand and Desperation in back-to-back bursts

Hm...haven't read Ballard or Burroughs, I'll check out their work. I've read books by Isaac Asimov, Edward Bellamy, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne...etc.

you might even like this kind of fusion of stuff

id like cherish the light years a lot if half the songs didnt have some really annoying thing like random noisy synth or trumpet

yeah the whole second half sucks

first album is way better

never really listened to the first album that much

[I]Bermuda Drain[/I] > Cold Cave

first one doesnt sound like the cure outtakes

[I]Cherish The Light Years[/I] kinda reminds me of Eno's glam rock period too

love the fuck out of this album

eno sucks
