From being Ian Curtis' secret confidant, to his recent illuminations on his time spent with Brian Jones, I am never failed in the extreme entertainment value of this twats twaddling. Did you know that Gen also turned Syd Barrett onto ACID?? Yes, I would be sad and ashamed too, but now finally enough time has passed that the truth may be told!! Plus his shameless posturing when his esteemed associate Tutti was being recognized at the Tate (is that the right place?)"she would have never done it if I had'nt told her too...". Thankfully, with the proper distancing we can all enjoy this fucking nozzle for the clown he has becoum.Resse P.

I agree with these two comments, just can't relate to their passionate nature. Gen has been a non-issue for gen-erations. If the boot fits, lick it.<BR/> And Brian, Colin Potter is hardly a newcomer. He's been pumping stuff out since c.1980...<BR/> Egads I like this blog...terminaltoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029868663757757964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30752941.post-26729418151071312032007-07-15T01:28:00.000+01:002007-07-15T01:28:00.000+01:00What a coincidence, I just got that issue of the W...What a coincidence, I just got that issue of the Wire today. I should add that this is only the second time I've ever purchased an issue from them (I think the only other time was their issue on Suicide). <BR/><BR/>Interesting as to how the article refers to Whitehouse as TG "acolytes," as from what I've read from the old Come Org interviews Whitehouse was sort of a reaction to what TG was doing at the time, rather than being slavish followers? I don't really like the disparaging tone the article takes in that aspect, referring to such bands as "spawn." <BR/><BR/>I'm not really sure what to think about P-Orridge, as I've read quite a bit of press about him from both his admirers and his detractors. I guess in some regards I'll always have a soft spot for him because he was kind of the first "alternative" figure I ever really came across. Having said that, I think he can be very close-minded in some aspects. How many Whitehouse albums has he even heard, other than maybe the very first few? I don't really think he's done his research in that area. I'm not sure about the other members of TG, but I suppose they must be a little more aware... after all, didn't Coil + Chris & Cosey do a live show with Whitehouse some time ago? <BR/><BR/>I do think that P-Orridge perhaps clings to the past a wee bit too much. I mean, I did enjoy the new PTV, but at the same time it is very derivative of psychadelic music from the 1960's, which to my mind isn't really a great leap forward. <BR/><BR/>However, I will argue that he has written at least one decent song, that being "Slug Bait." At the very least, that really blew my mind when I first heard it and paid attention to the lyrics and realized what the song was about. <BR/><BR/>H'mm, William, have you heard the new TG, or is that just something you have no interest in doing, or...?Syphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740936248484380103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30752941.post-4097442878894059422007-07-14T19:02:00.000+01:002007-07-14T19:02:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brian Conniffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217056253443130761noreply@blogger.com
