Do What You Dare: Transmission 325, 2017 February 22

I don't want to start a too-specific discussion of how the sausage is made around here, but as I write this I have listened to about a half-dozen terrible albums in a row. (No, I did not know beforehand that they were terrible! I am a pretty basic gentleman with pretty basic methods of self-flagellation.) I am writing this in a bad mood, you guys. Now: will this bad mood somehow embed itself in your experience of the attached mixtape? Do I impart any of my momentary energy into this act of sharing? If I understand a second-hand account of Genesis Breyer P-Orridge that a friend passed on to me, GBP's answer would be "yes." Apologies in advance!

You see, we were discussing--how shall I say it--the work of a certain musician who is a Dodgy Person (not Genesis!). And I wondered whether, shorn of any known background or context, did an instrumental piece "do the work" of said person's belief system? Apparently, the answer went, there is an energy, present in the time and space of the recording, that comes through. I like to tell myself that I'm not a person who believes in "woo," as the hip young rationalists call it, but then I do find more comfort in thinking the universe bears a specific antipathy toward me than in chalking my long trail of misfortunes up to random chance. So all of this seems plausible enough!

Truth: while I like the "Magickal Mystery D Tour" EP quite a lot, I am not a huge fan and have always enjoyed the other post-Throbbing Gristle bands a good deal more. But here I am, record in hand--NEVER SELL--and a birthday observance falls on my night of the week. I tried, really I did, but maybe some of this ambivalence transmitted, because this is a HOT MESS of a show for reasons that (on the surface) have nothing to do with Genesis. Sorry!

Then again, I may just misunderstand the magick altogether and be prone to sloppy nights on occasion.
