and won't stop coming, and coming, and coming...
Bourgeoiseaux with a deep reading of Erika Spring's Eighties-ism (including a cover of Eurythmics's "When Tomorrow Comes")
including the idea of the Eighties As the Decade that Owns Glamour, the music as re-blog syndrome, and Baudrillard's "precession of simulacra"...
Patrick Bateman/American Psycho and Phil Collins's "I Don't Care Anymore" rear their ugly heads too
as does Destroyer's Kaputt
(how i remember the queer feeling that came over me listening to that for the first time, hearing those very precise guitar-texturings and chord sequences modeled exactly on Prefab's Steve McQueen - this sweet sickly poisoned pleasure filled my body)
more thoughts from Lindsay Zoladz at Pitchfork
